1 xz-utils (4.999.9beta+20100207-1) unstable; urgency=low
3 * New upstream snapshot, taken from upstream commit 6503fde.
4 - xz --force compresses symlinks without complaint now.
5 * xz-utils: Simplify NEWS.Debian.gz a bit.
6 * liblzma-dev: Add a NEWS file for describing API changes.
8 * debian/README.source: leave out “-I -i” options. Ignoring version
9 control cruft is the default behavior with dpkg source format 3.0.
10 * debian/changelog.upstream.sh: pass ‘git log’ an explicit --format
11 option to avoid problems if format.pretty is set in gitconfig.
12 * Add a blank line to the end of all NEWS files.
13 (Works around: #247356)
15 * Correct the 4.999.9beta+20100117-1 changelog entry. It said:
16 + The user-specified memory usage limit was not being honored in
18 No such bug was observed, so clarify the scope of the change instead.

22 xz-utils (4.999.9beta+20100131-1) unstable; urgency=low
24 * New upstream snapshot, taken from upstream commit f9dd797a.
25 + xz: the --list option to display information about a compressed
26 file (e.g., its uncompressed size) is now functional. The output
27 of the xz --robot --list command still may change in future
29 * xz-utils: NEWS.Debian.gz: Clarify how interleaved output can
31 * debian/rules: Simplify:
32 - remove support for comma as a delimiter for $(DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS).
33 - rely on dh --parallel instead of tricky logic of our own to
34 handle parallel builds. Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 7.4.10).
35 * Correct some typos in the 4.999.9beta+20100117-1 changelog entry.
36 * Standards-Version: 3.8.4 (checked).
37 * Update copyright file.

41 xz-utils (4.999.9beta+20100117-1) unstable; urgency=low
43 * New upstream snapshot, taken from upstream commit 07a11dad.
44 + Fix some logic errors in the internal memory usage configuration
46 + xz will no longer compress or decompress special files in place,
48 --force still enables compression of the target of a symlink.
49 + xz will no longer read compressed data from a terminal or write
50 it to a terminal, even with --force.
51 + liblzma: many Index handling API improvements:
52 - An lzma_index includes more useful metadata that is not
53 actually from the Index. This is particularly helpful for
54 describing multiple-stream files.
55 * lzma_index_cat() does not take a stream padding argument
56 any more; use lzma_index_stream_padding() instead.
57 * lzma_index_memusage() takes two arguments now.
58 The new lzma_index_memused() convenience function
59 calculates the total memory usage of an lzma_index.
60 * lzma_index_count() has been replaced with
61 lzma_index_block_count() and lzma_index_stream_count().
62 * The new lzma_index_stream_flags() allows storing Stream
63 Flags (e.g., checksum types) with the Index information.
64 * The new lzma_index_checks() function indicates the list of
65 checksum types in use.
66 * lzma_index_equal() has been removed. Its semantics were
67 unclear, and something approximately equivalent can be
68 implemented by iterating over Blocks in application code.
69 - An lzma_index no longer represents a position within an Index.
70 The new lzma_index_iter type can be used for that purpose.
71 * Certain functions generate an iterator on demand now rather
72 than clobbering their lzma_index arguments. Using a single
73 lzma_index for multiple concurrent invocations is safe now:
74 lzma_index_buffer_encode(), lzma_index_encoder()
75 * Functions that used to specify a Record by modifying an
76 lzma_index argument have been renamed and taught to write
77 an lzma_index_iter instead:
78 lzma_index_locate() -> lzma_index_iter_locate()
79 lzma_index_rewind() -> lzma_index_iter_rewind()
80 lzma_index_read() -> lzma_index_iter_next()
81 * The lzma_index_record type used by lzma_index_read() for
82 complex seeks is no more. lzma_index_iter_next() instead
83 takes a parameter of the new lzma_index_iter_mode type.
84 * New function: lzma_index_iter_init()
85 * lzma_index_init() cannot reuse memory from an existing
86 lzma_index any more. The signature changed accordingly.
87 + xz: support for decompressing to a sparse file
88 - Try to write a sparse file if the decompressed stream contains
89 long runs of null bytes.
90 - The new --no-sparse option disables this behavior.
91 + xz: add Czech translation.
92 + liblzma-dev: lzma_filters_copy() and lzma_filters_update() are
93 declared not to throw exceptions.
94 * liblzma: bump soname.
95 * xz-utils: Add NEWS.Debian describing the sparse file support.
96 * debian/rules: Stop explicitly disabling assembler optimizations on
97 the Hurd. The configure script will check if a platform is
100 * debian/rules: Update clean target to handle comments and wildcards
102 * Build-Depends: perl.
104 * debian/rules: Speed up build by using autoreconf --symlink.
105 * Remove debian/dirs lists.
106 * Update copyright file and fix a small typo.

110 xz-utils (4.999.9beta+20091116-1) unstable; urgency=low
112 * New upstream snapshot, taken from upstream commit d315ca4.
113 + liblzma: add some new functions:
114 - lzma_filters_copy() to copy a filter chain;
115 - lzma_filters_update() to change compression options mid-stream;
116 - lzma_physmem() to retrieve the total quantity of installed RAM.
117 + Fix a design error in liblzma API.
118 - Stop requiring caller to maintain filter chain during
119 compression. The library used to read it for new compression
120 options. Callers that need to change options mid-stream should
121 use lzma_filters_update() instead.
122 - Remove 'persistent' member from struct lzma_options_lzma.
123 + xz: add --robot --info-memory options, for front-ends to use to
124 read the memory usage limit.
125 * liblzma: bump soname; add README.Debian explaining why soname
126 differs from upstream.
127 * Use source format 3.0 (quilt).
128 * Update and clarify copyright file.
