9 xz-utils (4.999.9beta+20100212-1) unstable; urgency=low
11 * New upstream snapshot, taken from upstream commit eb7d51a3f.
12 - xz --force compresses symlinks without complaint now.
13 - liblzma: the optimized CRC32 implementation for x86 no longer
14 misdetects the Hurd as Mac OS X.
15 * debian/rules: ./configure --enable-assembler on the Hurd.
16 * xz-utils: Simplify NEWS.Debian.gz.
17 * liblzma-dev: Add a NEWS file to keep track of future API changes.
19 * Drop unnecessary build-time conflict with autoconf2.13.
20 * Add a blank line to the end of all NEWS files.
21 (Works around: #247356)
22 * debian/README.source: Leave out “-I -i” options. Ignoring version
23 control cruft is the default behavior with dpkg source format 3.0.
24 * debian/changelog.upstream.sh: Pass ‘git log’ an explicit --format
25 option to avoid problems if format.pretty is set in gitconfig.
27 * Correct the 4.999.9beta+20100117-1 changelog entry. It said:
28 + The user-specified memory usage limit was not being honored in
30 No such bug was observed, so describe the change instead.

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

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

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