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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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