1 xz-utils (4.999.9beta+20100903-0.1) experimental; urgency=low
3 * New snapshot, taken from upstream commit 373ee26.
4 - liblzma: The settings for compression levels 0 through 5
5 (used by xz -0/.../-5) have been tweaked. This affects the
6 speed, compression ratio, and memory usage at compression and
8 - Does not search so hard for a match when a low "nice match
9 length" setting is specified without a depth.
10 - xz: The -1/.../-9 preset options override any previously
11 specified filters, rather than vice versa. To mix presets
12 with filter options, use the --lzma2=preset=n option.
13 - xz: Warns about --memlimit-compress settings that result in
14 compression settings changing even if no explicit -1/.../-9,
15 --lzma1, or --lzma2 option was used.
16 - "xz -v -v --compress" now prints an estimate of the memory
17 required to decompress a file.
18 * debian/copyright: Update upstream Git URL.
19 * debian/changelog.upstream.sh: Permit terser changelog lines.

23 xz-utils (4.999.9beta+20100810-1) unstable; urgency=low
25 * New upstream snapshot, taken from upstream commit d5653ba8a.
26 - xz: The memory usage limiter is now disabled by default.
27 - xz: Support for an XZ_DEFAULTS environment variable was added.
28 It contains user-specific default settings, such as memory usage
29 limits, and can be overridden by the command line and XZ_OPT.
30 - xz: The new --memlimit-compress and --memlimit-decompress
31 options allow the memory usage limit to be set separately for
32 compression and decompression. A new --memlimit alias has been
33 added for the existing --memory option.
34 - xz: The --info-memory option (with or without --robot) now prints
35 how much RAM is installed in addition to the compression and
36 decompression memory limits.
37 * liblzma-doc: Simplify package description.
38 * debian/control: Build-Depends: autopoint | gettext (<< 0.18-1),
39 autopoint | cvs instead of autopoint, to help with backporting.

112 ever since 4.999.9beta-1 in rare circumstances when decompressing

193 xz-utils (4.999.9beta+20100117-1) unstable; urgency=low
195 * New upstream snapshot, taken from upstream commit 07a11dad.
196 + Fix some logic errors in the internal memory usage configuration
198 + xz will no longer compress or decompress special files in place,
200 --force still enables compression of the target of a symlink.
201 + xz will no longer read compressed data from a terminal or write
202 it to a terminal, even with --force.
203 + liblzma: many Index handling API improvements:
204 - An lzma_index includes more useful metadata that is not
205 actually from the Index. This is particularly helpful for
206 describing multiple-stream files.
207 * lzma_index_cat() does not take a stream padding argument
208 any more; use lzma_index_stream_padding() instead.
209 * lzma_index_memusage() takes two arguments now.
210 The new lzma_index_memused() convenience function
211 calculates the total memory usage of an lzma_index.
212 * lzma_index_count() has been replaced with
213 lzma_index_block_count() and lzma_index_stream_count().
214 * The new lzma_index_stream_flags() allows storing Stream
215 Flags (e.g., checksum types) with the Index information.
216 * The new lzma_index_checks() function indicates the list of
217 checksum types in use.
218 * lzma_index_equal() has been removed. Its semantics were
219 unclear, and something approximately equivalent can be
220 implemented by iterating over Blocks in application code.
221 - An lzma_index no longer represents a position within an Index.
222 The new lzma_index_iter type can be used for that purpose.
223 * Certain functions generate an iterator on demand now rather
224 than clobbering their lzma_index arguments. Using a single
225 lzma_index for multiple concurrent invocations is safe now:
226 lzma_index_buffer_encode(), lzma_index_encoder()
227 * Functions that used to specify a Record by modifying an
228 lzma_index argument have been renamed and taught to write
229 an lzma_index_iter instead:
230 lzma_index_locate() -> lzma_index_iter_locate()
231 lzma_index_rewind() -> lzma_index_iter_rewind()
232 lzma_index_read() -> lzma_index_iter_next()
233 * The lzma_index_record type used by lzma_index_read() for
234 complex seeks is no more. lzma_index_iter_next() instead
235 takes a parameter of the new lzma_index_iter_mode type.
236 * New function: lzma_index_iter_init()
237 * lzma_index_init() cannot reuse memory from an existing
238 lzma_index any more. The signature changed accordingly.
239 + xz: support for decompressing to a sparse file
240 - Try to write a sparse file if the decompressed stream contains
241 long runs of null bytes.
242 - The new --no-sparse option disables this behavior.
243 + xz: add Czech translation.
244 + liblzma-dev: lzma_filters_copy() and lzma_filters_update() are
245 declared not to throw exceptions.
246 * liblzma: bump soname.
247 * xz-utils: Add NEWS.Debian describing the sparse file support.
248 * debian/rules: Stop explicitly disabling assembler optimizations on
249 the Hurd. The configure script will check if a platform is
252 * debian/rules: Update clean target to handle comments and wildcards

271 compression. The library used to read it for new compression
272 options. Callers that need to change options mid-stream should
273 use lzma_filters_update() instead.

276 read the memory usage limit.
