55 - liblzma: The stream initialization functions were not correctly
56 initializing the internal allow_buffer_error flag. As a result,
57 ever since 4.999.9beta-1 in rare circumstances when decompressing
58 LZMA files, the xz tool would produce spurious "Unexpected end

123 file (e.g., its uncompressed size) is now functional. The output
124 of the xz --robot --list command still may change in future

138 xz-utils (4.999.9beta+20100117-1) unstable; urgency=low
140 * New upstream snapshot, taken from upstream commit 07a11dad.
141 + Fix some logic errors in the internal memory usage configuration
143 + xz will no longer compress or decompress special files in place,
145 --force still enables compression of the target of a symlink.
146 + xz will no longer read compressed data from a terminal or write
147 it to a terminal, even with --force.
148 + liblzma: many Index handling API improvements:
149 - An lzma_index includes more useful metadata that is not
150 actually from the Index. This is particularly helpful for
151 describing multiple-stream files.
152 * lzma_index_cat() does not take a stream padding argument
153 any more; use lzma_index_stream_padding() instead.
154 * lzma_index_memusage() takes two arguments now.
155 The new lzma_index_memused() convenience function
156 calculates the total memory usage of an lzma_index.
157 * lzma_index_count() has been replaced with
158 lzma_index_block_count() and lzma_index_stream_count().
159 * The new lzma_index_stream_flags() allows storing Stream
160 Flags (e.g., checksum types) with the Index information.
161 * The new lzma_index_checks() function indicates the list of
162 checksum types in use.
163 * lzma_index_equal() has been removed. Its semantics were
164 unclear, and something approximately equivalent can be
165 implemented by iterating over Blocks in application code.
166 - An lzma_index no longer represents a position within an Index.
167 The new lzma_index_iter type can be used for that purpose.
168 * Certain functions generate an iterator on demand now rather
169 than clobbering their lzma_index arguments. Using a single
170 lzma_index for multiple concurrent invocations is safe now:
171 lzma_index_buffer_encode(), lzma_index_encoder()
172 * Functions that used to specify a Record by modifying an
173 lzma_index argument have been renamed and taught to write
174 an lzma_index_iter instead:
175 lzma_index_locate() -> lzma_index_iter_locate()
176 lzma_index_rewind() -> lzma_index_iter_rewind()
177 lzma_index_read() -> lzma_index_iter_next()
178 * The lzma_index_record type used by lzma_index_read() for
179 complex seeks is no more. lzma_index_iter_next() instead
180 takes a parameter of the new lzma_index_iter_mode type.
181 * New function: lzma_index_iter_init()
182 * lzma_index_init() cannot reuse memory from an existing
183 lzma_index any more. The signature changed accordingly.
184 + xz: support for decompressing to a sparse file
185 - Try to write a sparse file if the decompressed stream contains
186 long runs of null bytes.
187 - The new --no-sparse option disables this behavior.
188 + xz: add Czech translation.
189 + liblzma-dev: lzma_filters_copy() and lzma_filters_update() are
190 declared not to throw exceptions.
191 * liblzma: bump soname.
192 * xz-utils: Add NEWS.Debian describing the sparse file support.
193 * debian/rules: Stop explicitly disabling assembler optimizations on
194 the Hurd. The configure script will check if a platform is
197 * debian/rules: Update clean target to handle comments and wildcards
199 * Build-Depends: perl.
201 * debian/rules: Speed up build by using autoreconf --symlink.
202 * Remove debian/dirs lists.

211 - lzma_filters_copy() to copy a filter chain;
212 - lzma_filters_update() to change compression options mid-stream;
213 - lzma_physmem() to retrieve the total quantity of installed RAM.
214 + Fix a design error in liblzma API.
215 - Stop requiring caller to maintain filter chain during
216 compression. The library used to read it for new compression
217 options. Callers that need to change options mid-stream should
218 use lzma_filters_update() instead.
219 - Remove 'persistent' member from struct lzma_options_lzma.
220 + xz: add --robot --info-memory options, for front-ends to use to
221 read the memory usage limit.
222 * liblzma: bump soname; add README.Debian explaining why soname
223 differs from upstream.
224 * Use source format 3.0 (quilt).
225 * Update and clarify copyright file.
