3 * New upstream snapshot, taken from upstream commit d8b41eed.
4 - xz -v --list and xz -v -v --list print more information than they
5 used to. xz -v -v can be used to obtain an estimate for the
6 memory required to decompress a file.
7 - The xz manual page has been updated, in particular with the
8 addition of some examples. Closes: #578465.
9 - liblzma: The lzma_block_compressed_size() function no longer
10 returns LZMA_DATA_ERROR for valid Blocks.

31 - liblzma: The lzma_stream_init() function was not correctly
32 initializing the internal allow_buffer_error flag. As a result,
33 ever since 4.999.9beta-1 in rare circumstances when decompressing
34 LZMA files, the xz tool would produce spurious "Unexpected end

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142 - An lzma_index no longer represents a position within an Index.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

185 * New upstream snapshot, taken from upstream commit d315ca4.
186 + liblzma: add some new functions:
187 - lzma_filters_copy() to copy a filter chain;
188 - lzma_filters_update() to change compression options mid-stream;
189 - lzma_physmem() to retrieve the total quantity of installed RAM.
190 + Fix a design error in liblzma API.
191 - Stop requiring caller to maintain filter chain during
192 compression. The library used to read it for new compression
193 options. Callers that need to change options mid-stream should
194 use lzma_filters_update() instead.
195 - Remove 'persistent' member from struct lzma_options_lzma.
196 + xz: add --robot --info-memory options, for front-ends to use to
197 read the memory usage limit.
198 * liblzma: bump soname; add README.Debian explaining why soname
199 differs from upstream.
200 * Use source format 3.0 (quilt).
201 * Update and clarify copyright file.
