3 * xz-utils: NEWS.Debian.gz: Clarify how else interleaved output can

8 xz-utils (4.999.9beta+20100117-1) unstable; urgency=low
10 * New upstream snapshot, taken from upstream commit 07a11dad.
11 + The user-specified memory usage limit was not being honored in
13 + xz will no longer compress or decompress special files in place,
15 --force still enables compression of the target of a symlink.
16 + xz will no longer read compressed data from a terminal or write
17 it to a terminal, even with --force.
18 + liblzma: many Index handling API improvements:
19 - An lzma_index includes more useful metadata that is not
20 actually from the Index. This is particularly helpful for
21 describing multiple-stream files.
22 * lzma_index_cat() does not take a stream padding argument
23 any more; use lzma_index_stream_padding() instead.
24 * lzma_index_memusage() takes two arguments now.
25 The new lzma_index_memused() convenience function
26 calculates the total memory usage of an lzma_index.
27 * lzma_index_count() has been replaced with
28 lzma_index_block_count() and lzma_index_stream_count().
29 * The new lzma_index_stream_flags() allows storing Stream
30 Flags (e.g., checksum types) with the Index information.
31 * The new lzma_index_checks() function indicates the list of
32 checksum types in use.
33 * lzma_index_equal() has been removed. Its semantics were
34 unclear, and something approximate equivalent can be
35 implemented by iterating over Blocks in application code.
36 - An lzma_index no longer represents a position within an Index.
37 The new lzma_index_iter type can be used for that purpose.
38 * Certain functions generate an iterator on demand now rather
39 than clobbering their lzma_index argument. Using a single
40 lzma_index for multiple concurrent invocations is safe now:
41 lzma_index_buffer_encode(), lzma_index_encoder()
42 * Functions that used to specify a Record by modifying an
43 lzma_index argument have been renamed and taught to write
44 an lzma_index_iter instead:
45 lzma_index_locate() -> lzma_index_iter_locate()
46 lzma_index_rewind() -> lzma_index_iter_rewind()
47 lzma_index_read() -> lzma_index_iter_next()
48 * The lzma_index_record type used by lzma_index_read() for
49 complex seeks is no more. lzma_index_iter_next() instead
50 takes a parameter of the new lzma_index_iter_mode type.
51 * New function: lzma_index_iter_init()
52 * lzma_index_init() cannot reuse memory from an existing
53 lzma_index any more. The signature changed accordingly.
54 + xz: support for decompressing to a sparse file
55 - Try to write a sparse file if the decompressed stream contains
56 long runs of null bytes.
57 - The new --no-sparse option disables this behavior.
58 + xz: add Czech translation.
59 - liblzma-dev: lzma_filters_copy() and lzma_filters_update() are
60 declared not to throw exceptions.
61 * liblzma: bump soname.
62 * xz-utils: Add NEWS.Debian describing the sparse file support.
63 * debian/rules: Stop explicitly disabling assembler optimizations on
64 the Hurd. The configure script will check if a platform is
67 * debian/rules: Update clean target to handle comments and wildcards
69 * Build-Depends: perl.
71 * debian/rules: Speed up build by using autoreconf --symlink.
72 * Remove debian/dirs lists.
73 * Update copyright file and fix a small typo.

77 xz-utils (4.999.9beta+20091116-1) unstable; urgency=low
79 * New upstream snapshot, taken from upstream commit d315ca4.
80 + liblzma: add some new functions:
81 - lzma_filters_copy() to copy a filter chain;
82 - lzma_filters_update() to change compression options mid-stream;
83 - lzma_physmem() to retrieve the total quantity of installed RAM.
84 + Fix a design error in liblzma API.
85 - Stop requiring caller to maintain filter chain during
86 compression. The library used to read it for new compression
87 options. Callers that need to change options mid-stream should
88 use lzma_filters_update() instead.
89 - Remove 'persistent' member from struct lzma_options_lzma.
90 + xz: add --robot --info-memory options, for front-ends to use to
91 read the memory usage limit.
92 * liblzma: bump soname; add README.Debian explaining why soname
93 differs from upstream.
94 * Use source format 3.0 (quilt).
95 * Update and clarify copyright file.
