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

182 xz-utils (5.1.1alpha+20110809-1) unstable; urgency=low
184 * New snapshot, taken from upstream commit 5c5b225.
186 - lzma_stream_encoder() leaked memory.
187 - The LZMA2 decoder rejected streams that decompress to a
189 - lzma_easy_buffer_encode() and lzma_stream_buffer_encode()
190 used to write such streams when asked to compress a 0-length
192 - lzma_index_init() would segfault on allocation failure.
193 - liblzma: Various functions check their arguments (especially
194 choice of integrity check) better, making it harder to create
195 a corrupt .xz file instead of receiving an error.
197 - "xz -v -v --list" would read and try to free() uninitialized
198 memory, continuing past the end of an on-stack array, when
199 asked to describe certain corrupted XZ files.
200 - xz -S.suf now refuses to compress a file whose name already
201 ends with the suffix “.suf”.
202 - xz --force can be used to compress setuid, setgid, sticky,
203 and multiply linked files.
204 - xz uses posix_fadvise() to speed up sequential input.
205 - xz --block-size forces a full flush periodically during
206 compression, for better random-access reading support and to
207 make simple parallelism possible in the future.
208 - unxz: The new --single-stream option discards trailing
209 garbage after the end of the first stream.
210 - xzdiff can read gzip- and bzip2-compressed files.
211 - xzdiff and xzgrep can read lzop-compressed files.
212 - xzegrep and xzfgrep perform extended regex and fixed-string
213 matches, respectively. (The previous behavior was to always
215 - xzgrep -l (= --files-with-match) works.
216 - The Czech “xz --help” output uses a more correct term for
217 files with holes. Thanks to Petr Hubený. Closes: #605762.
218 - xz: New Polish and French translations.
219 - The Doxygen-generated documentation uses short, relative paths
220 to name source files. Closes: #572273.
221 * Update copyright file.
222 * Remove example programs from debian/examples. They are included
223 in the upstream source package now.
224 * Move liblzma to an architecture-specific directory, so the
225 native library and foreign-architecture versions can be installed
227 - liblzma2: Pre-Depends: multiarch-support.
228 - Use debhelper compatibility level 9. This requires passing
229 the dh sequence name before other options when invoking dh in
230 debian/rules. Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 8.1.3).

269 - xz avoids SA_RESTART. This should not have a visible effect
270 because xz already blocked signals during operations that
271 would be difficult to resume after interruption.
272 - liblzma: The coders returned by lzma_index_encoder() and

310 * New snapshot, taken from upstream commit 373ee26.
311 - liblzma: The settings for compression levels 0 through 5
312 (used by xz -0/.../-5) have been tweaked. This affects the
313 speed, compression ratio, and memory usage at compression and
315 - Does not search so hard for a match when a low "nice match
316 length" setting is specified without a depth.

318 specified filters, rather than vice versa. To mix presets
319 with filter options, use the --lzma2=preset=n option.
320 - xz: Warns about --memlimit-compress settings that result in

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

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