84 xz-utils (5.1.1alpha+20120614-1) unstable; urgency=low
86 * New snapshot, taken from upstream commit f1675f76.
87 - liblzma: BCJ filters would return a spurious LZMA_BUF_ERROR
88 result in certain circumstances. As a result, the xz tool
89 could produce inappropriate "Compressed data is corrupt" or
90 "Unexpected end of input" failures (reported in XZ Embedded as
92 - "xz -v -v --list" prints the minimal XZ Utils version needed
93 to decompress a stream.
94 - "xz --robot -v --list" formats filenames more plainly.
95 - xzgrep does not fail unconditionally when the decompressor
96 dies with SIGPIPE due to unconsumed output any more. This
97 makes the exit status from commands such as "xzgrep -q" and
98 "xzgrep -l" more predictable and convenient for scripts.
99 - examples/xz_pipe_decomp.c did not check correctly for
101 - There is a new set of sample programs. The old ones have
102 been renamed to examples_old but are still maintained.
104 - If dlopen() indicates that liblzma.so.2 is loaded, check fewer
105 reserved fields in the stream argument to the lzma_code()
106 function. This prevents out-of-bounds reads when liblzma5
107 functions are called by code built against liblzma2 (see
108 <http://sourceware.org/PR12977>).
109 - Remove the lzma_code@Base compatibility symbol.
110 Closes: #649522. Thanks to Eduard Bloch.
111 - Install run-time library to /lib so it can be used before /usr
112 is mounted. Closes: #672120.
113 - Configure with --disable-threads for now to avoid needlessly
114 linking to libpthread and librt.
116 - Install an appropriate library for static linking instead of
117 the decompression-only version used to build xzdec.

186 xz-utils (5.1.1alpha+20110809-1) unstable; urgency=low
188 * New snapshot, taken from upstream commit 5c5b225.
190 - lzma_stream_encoder() leaked memory.
191 - The LZMA2 decoder rejected streams that decompress to a
193 - lzma_easy_buffer_encode() and lzma_stream_buffer_encode()
194 used to write such streams when asked to compress a 0-length
196 - lzma_index_init() would segfault on allocation failure.
197 - liblzma: Various functions check their arguments (especially
198 choice of integrity check) better, making it harder to create
199 a corrupt .xz file instead of receiving an error.
201 - "xz -v -v --list" would read and try to free() uninitialized
202 memory, continuing past the end of an on-stack array, when
203 asked to describe certain corrupted XZ files.
204 - xz -S.suf now refuses to compress a file whose name already
205 ends with the suffix “.suf”.
206 - xz --force can be used to compress setuid, setgid, sticky,
207 and multiply linked files.
208 - xz uses posix_fadvise() to speed up sequential input.
209 - xz --block-size forces a full flush periodically during
210 compression, for better random-access reading support and to
211 make simple parallelism possible in the future.
212 - unxz: The new --single-stream option discards trailing
213 garbage after the end of the first stream.
214 - xzdiff can read gzip- and bzip2-compressed files.
215 - xzdiff and xzgrep can read lzop-compressed files.
216 - xzegrep and xzfgrep perform extended regex and fixed-string
217 matches, respectively. (The previous behavior was to always
219 - xzgrep -l (= --files-with-match) works.
220 - The Czech “xz --help” output uses a more correct term for
221 files with holes. Thanks to Petr Hubený. Closes: #605762.
222 - xz: New Polish and French translations.
223 - The Doxygen-generated documentation uses short, relative paths
224 to name source files. Closes: #572273.
225 * Update copyright file.
226 * Remove example programs from debian/examples. They are included
227 in the upstream source package now.
228 * Move liblzma to an architecture-specific directory, so the
229 native library and foreign-architecture versions can be installed
231 - liblzma2: Pre-Depends: multiarch-support.

273 - xz avoids SA_RESTART. This should not have a visible effect
274 because xz already blocked signals during operations that
275 would be difficult to resume after interruption.

314 * New snapshot, taken from upstream commit 373ee26.

316 (used by xz -0/.../-5) have been tweaked. This affects the
317 speed, compression ratio, and memory usage at compression and
319 - Does not search so hard for a match when a low "nice match

322 specified filters, rather than vice versa. To mix presets
323 with filter options, use the --lzma2=preset=n option.

497 - rely on dh --parallel instead of tricky logic of our own to
498 handle parallel builds. Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 7.4.10).
499 * Correct some typos in the 4.999.9beta+20100117-1 changelog entry.
500 * Standards-Version: 3.8.4 (checked).
501 * Update copyright file.

505 xz-utils (4.999.9beta+20100117-1) unstable; urgency=low
507 * New upstream snapshot, taken from upstream commit 07a11dad.
508 + Fix some logic errors in the internal memory usage configuration
510 + xz will no longer compress or decompress special files in place,
512 --force still enables compression of the target of a symlink.
513 + xz will no longer read compressed data from a terminal or write
514 it to a terminal, even with --force.
515 + liblzma: many Index handling API improvements:
516 - An lzma_index includes more useful metadata that is not
517 actually from the Index. This is particularly helpful for
518 describing multiple-stream files.
519 * lzma_index_cat() does not take a stream padding argument
520 any more; use lzma_index_stream_padding() instead.
521 * lzma_index_memusage() takes two arguments now.
522 The new lzma_index_memused() convenience function
523 calculates the total memory usage of an lzma_index.
524 * lzma_index_count() has been replaced with
525 lzma_index_block_count() and lzma_index_stream_count().
526 * The new lzma_index_stream_flags() allows storing Stream
527 Flags (e.g., checksum types) with the Index information.
528 * The new lzma_index_checks() function indicates the list of
529 checksum types in use.
530 * lzma_index_equal() has been removed. Its semantics were
531 unclear, and something approximately equivalent can be
532 implemented by iterating over Blocks in application code.
533 - An lzma_index no longer represents a position within an Index.
534 The new lzma_index_iter type can be used for that purpose.
535 * Certain functions generate an iterator on demand now rather
536 than clobbering their lzma_index arguments. Using a single
537 lzma_index for multiple concurrent invocations is safe now:
538 lzma_index_buffer_encode(), lzma_index_encoder()
539 * Functions that used to specify a Record by modifying an
540 lzma_index argument have been renamed and taught to write
541 an lzma_index_iter instead:
542 lzma_index_locate() -> lzma_index_iter_locate()
543 lzma_index_rewind() -> lzma_index_iter_rewind()
544 lzma_index_read() -> lzma_index_iter_next()
545 * The lzma_index_record type used by lzma_index_read() for
546 complex seeks is no more. lzma_index_iter_next() instead
547 takes a parameter of the new lzma_index_iter_mode type.
548 * New function: lzma_index_iter_init()
549 * lzma_index_init() cannot reuse memory from an existing
550 lzma_index any more. The signature changed accordingly.
551 + xz: support for decompressing to a sparse file
552 - Try to write a sparse file if the decompressed stream contains
553 long runs of null bytes.
554 - The new --no-sparse option disables this behavior.
555 + xz: add Czech translation.
556 + liblzma-dev: lzma_filters_copy() and lzma_filters_update() are
557 declared not to throw exceptions.
558 * liblzma: bump soname.
559 * xz-utils: Add NEWS.Debian describing the sparse file support.
560 * debian/rules: Stop explicitly disabling assembler optimizations on
561 the Hurd. The configure script will check if a platform is
564 * debian/rules: Update clean target to handle comments and wildcards
566 * Build-Depends: perl.
568 * debian/rules: Speed up build by using autoreconf --symlink.
569 * Remove debian/dirs lists.
570 * Update copyright file and fix a small typo.

574 xz-utils (4.999.9beta+20091116-1) unstable; urgency=low
576 * New upstream snapshot, taken from upstream commit d315ca4.
577 + liblzma: add some new functions:
578 - lzma_filters_copy() to copy a filter chain;
579 - lzma_filters_update() to change compression options mid-stream;
580 - lzma_physmem() to retrieve the total quantity of installed RAM.
581 + Fix a design error in liblzma API.
582 - Stop requiring caller to maintain filter chain during
583 compression. The library used to read it for new compression
584 options. Callers that need to change options mid-stream should
585 use lzma_filters_update() instead.
586 - Remove 'persistent' member from struct lzma_options_lzma.
587 + xz: add --robot --info-memory options, for front-ends to use to
588 read the memory usage limit.
589 * liblzma: bump soname; add README.Debian explaining why soname
590 differs from upstream.
591 * Use source format 3.0 (quilt).
592 * Update and clarify copyright file.
