Log message: xz: updated to 5.4.5 5.4.5 * liblzma: - Use __attribute__((__no_sanitize_address__)) to avoid address sanitization with CRC64 CLMUL. It uses 16-byte-aligned reads which can extend past the bounds of the input buffer and inherently trigger address sanitization errors. This isn't a bug. - Fixed an assertion failure that could be triggered by a large unpadded_size argument. It was verified that there was no other bug than the assertion failure. - Fixed a bug that prevented building with Windows Vista threading when __attribute__((__constructor__)) is not supported. * xz now properly handles special files such as "con" or "nul" on Windows. Before this fix, the following wrote "foo" to the console and deleted the input file "con_xz": echo foo | xz > con_xz xz --suffix=_xz --decompress con_xz * Build systems: - Allow builds with Windows win95 threading and small mode when __attribute__((__constructor__)) is supported. - Added a new line to liblzma.pc for MSYS2 (Windows): Cflags.private: -DLZMA_API_STATIC When compiling code that will link against static liblzma, the LZMA_API_STATIC macro needs to be defined on Windows. - CMake specific changes: * Fixed a bug that allowed CLOCK_MONOTONIC to be used even if the check for it failed. * Fixed a bug where configuring CMake multiple times resulted in HAVE_CLOCK_GETTIME and HAVE_CLOCK_MONOTONIC not being set. * Fixed the build with MinGW-w64-based Clang/LLVM 17. llvm-windres now has more accurate GNU windres emulation so the GNU windres workaround from 5.4.1 is needed with llvm-windres version 17 too. * The import library on Windows is now properly named "liblzma.dll.a" instead of "libliblzma.dll.a" * Fixed a bug causing the Ninja Generator to fail on UNIX-like systems. This bug was introduced in 5.4.0. * Added a new option to disable CLMUL CRC64. * A module-definition (.def) file is now created when building liblzma.dll with MinGW-w64. * The pkg-config liblzma.pc file is now installed on all builds except when using MSVC on Windows. * Added large file support by default for platforms that need it to handle files larger than 2 GiB. This includes MinGW-w64, even 64-bit builds. * Small fixes and improvements to the tests. * Updated translations: Chinese (simplified) and Esperanto. |

Log message: xz: updated to 5.4.4 5.4.4 (2023-08-02) * liblzma and xzdec can now build against WASI SDK when threading support is disabled. xz and tests don't build yet. * CMake: - Fixed a bug preventing other projects from including liblzma multiple times using find_package(). - Don't create broken symlinks in Cygwin and MSYS2 unless supported by the environment. This prevented building for the default MSYS2 environment. The problem was introduced in xz 5.4.0. * Documentation: - Small improvements to man pages. - Small improvements and typo fixes for liblzma API documentation. * Tests: - Added a new section to INSTALL to describe basic test usage and address recent questions about building the tests when cross compiling. - Small fixes and improvements to the tests. * Translations: - Fixed a mistake that caused one of the error messages to not be translated. This only affected versions 5.4.2 and 5.4.3. - Updated the Chinese (simplified), Croatian, Esperanto, German, Korean, Polish, Romanian, Spanish, Swedish, Ukrainian, and Vietnamese translations. - Updated the German, Korean, Romanian, and Ukrainian man page translations. |

Log message: xz: updated to 5.4.2 5.4.2 (2023-03-18) * All fixes from 5.2.11 that were not included in 5.4.1. * If xz is built with support for the Capsicum sandbox but running in an environment that doesn't support Capsicum, xz now runs normally without sandboxing instead of exiting with an error. * liblzma: - Documentation was updated to improve the style, consistency, and completeness of the liblzma API headers. - The Doxygen-generated HTML documentation for the liblzma API header files is now included in the source release and is installed as part of "make install". All JavaScript is removed to simplify license compliance and to reduce the install size. - Fixed a minor bug in lzma_str_from_filters() that produced too many filters in the output string instead of reporting an error if the input array had more than four filters. This bug did not affect xz. * Build systems: - autogen.sh now invokes the doxygen tool via the new wrapper script doxygen/update-doxygen, unless the command line option --no-doxygen is used. - Added microlzma_encoder.c and microlzma_decoder.c to the VS project files for Windows and to the CMake build. These should have been included in 5.3.2alpha. * Tests: - Added a test to the CMake build that was forgotten in the previous release. - Added and refactored a few tests. * Translations: - Updated the Brazilian Portuguese translation. - Added Brazilian Portuguese man page translation. |

Log message: xz: updated to 5.4.1 5.4.1 (2023-01-11) * liblzma: - Fixed the return value of lzma_microlzma_encoder() if the LZMA options lc/lp/pb are invalid. Invalid lc/lp/pb options made the function return LZMA_STREAM_END without encoding anything instead of returning LZMA_OPTIONS_ERROR. - Windows / Visual Studio: Workaround a possible compiler bug when targeting 32-bit x86 and compiling the CLMUL version of the CRC64 code. The CLMUL code isn't enabled by the Windows project files but it is in the CMake-based builds. * Build systems: - Windows-specific CMake changes: * Don't try to enable CLMUL CRC64 code if _mm_set_epi64x() isn't available. This fixes CMake-based build with Visual Studio 2013. * Created a workaround for a build failure with windres from GNU binutils. It is used only when the C compiler is GCC (not Clang). The workaround is incompatible with llvm-windres, resulting in "XZx20Utils" instead of "XZ Utils" in the resource file, but without the workaround llvm-windres works correctly. See the comment in CMakeLists.txt for details. * Included the resource files in the xz and xzdec build rules. Building the command line tools is still experimental but possible with MinGW-w64. - Visual Studio: Added stream_decoder_mt.c to the project files. Now the threaded decompressor lzma_stream_decoder_mt() gets built. CMake-based build wasn't affected. - Updated windows/INSTALL-MSVC.txt to mention that CMake-based build is now the preferred method with Visual Studio. The project files will probably be removed after 5.4.x releases. - Changes to #defines in config.h: * HAVE_DECL_CLOCK_MONOTONIC was replaced by HAVE_CLOCK_MONOTONIC. The old macro was always defined in configure-generated config.h to either 0 or 1. The new macro is defined (to 1) only if the declaration of CLOCK_MONOTONIC is available. This matches the way most other config.h macros work and makes things simpler with other build systems. * HAVE_DECL_PROGRAM_INVOCATION_NAME was replaced by HAVE_PROGRAM_INVOCATION_NAME for the same reason. * Tests: - Fixed test script compatibility with ancient /bin/sh versions. Now the five test_compress_* tests should no longer fail on Solaris 10. - Added and refactored a few tests. * Translations: - Updated the Catalan and Esperanto translations. - Added Korean and Ukrainian man page translations. |

Log message: xz: updated to 5.4.0 5.4.0 (2022-12-13) This bumps the minor version of liblzma because new features were added. The API and ABI are still backward compatible with liblzma 5.2.x and 5.0.x. Since 5.3.5beta: * All fixes from 5.2.10. * The ARM64 filter is now stable. The xz option is now --arm64. Decompression requires XZ Utils 5.4.0. In the future the ARM64 filter will be supported by XZ for Java, XZ Embedded (including the version in Linux), LZMA SDK, and 7-Zip. * Translations: - Updated Catalan, Croatian, German, Romanian, and Turkish translations. - Updated German man page translations. - Added Romanian man page translations. Summary of new features added in the 5.3.x development releases: * liblzma: - Added threaded .xz decompressor lzma_stream_decoder_mt(). It can use multiple threads with .xz files that have multiple Blocks with size information in Block Headers. The threaded encoder in xz has always created such files. Single-threaded encoder cannot store the size information in Block Headers even if one used LZMA_FULL_FLUSH to create multiple Blocks, so this threaded decoder cannot use multiple threads with such files. If there are multiple Streams (concatenated .xz files), one Stream will be decompressed completely before starting the next Stream. - A new decoder flag LZMA_FAIL_FAST was added. It makes the threaded decompressor report errors soon instead of first flushing all pending data before the error location. - New Filter IDs: * LZMA_FILTER_ARM64 is for ARM64 binaries. * LZMA_FILTER_LZMA1EXT is for raw LZMA1 streams that don't necessarily use the end marker. - Added lzma_str_to_filters(), lzma_str_from_filters(), and lzma_str_list_filters() to convert a preset or a filter chain string to a lzma_filter[] and vice versa. These should make it easier to write applications that allow users to specify custom compression options. - Added lzma_filters_free() which can be convenient for freeing the filter options in a filter chain (an array of lzma_filter structures). - lzma_file_info_decoder() to makes it a little easier to get the Index field from .xz files. This helps in getting the uncompressed file size but an easy-to-use random access API is still missing which has existed in XZ for Java for a long time. - Added lzma_microlzma_encoder() and lzma_microlzma_decoder(). It is used by erofs-utils and may be used by others too. The MicroLZMA format is a raw LZMA stream (without end marker) whose first byte (always 0x00) has been replaced with bitwise-negation of the LZMA properties (lc/lp/pb). It was created for use in EROFS but may be used in other contexts as well where it is important to avoid wasting bytes for stream headers or footers. The format is also supported by XZ Embedded (the XZ Embedded version in Linux got MicroLZMA support in Linux 5.16). The MicroLZMA encoder API in liblzma can compress into a fixed-sized output buffer so that as much data is compressed as can be fit into the buffer while still creating a valid MicroLZMA stream. This is needed for EROFS. - Added lzma_lzip_decoder() to decompress the .lz (lzip) file format version 0 and the original unextended version 1 files. Also lzma_auto_decoder() supports .lz files. - lzma_filters_update() can now be used with the multi-threaded encoder (lzma_stream_encoder_mt()) to change the filter chain after LZMA_FULL_BARRIER or LZMA_FULL_FLUSH. - In lzma_options_lzma, allow nice_len = 2 and 3 with the match finders that require at least 3 or 4. Now it is internally rounded up if needed. - CLMUL-based CRC64 on x86-64 and E2K with runtime processor detection. On 32-bit x86 it currently isn't available unless --disable-assembler is used which can make the non-CLMUL CRC64 slower; this might be fixed in the future. - Building with --disable-threads --enable-small is now thread-safe if the compiler supports __attribute__((__constructor__)). * xz: - Using -T0 (--threads=0) will now use multi-threaded encoder even on a single-core system. This is to ensure that output from the same xz binary is identical on both single-core and multi-core systems. - --threads=+1 or -T+1 is now a way to put xz into multi-threaded mode while using only one worker thread. The + is ignored if the number is not 1. - A default soft memory usage limit is now used for compression when -T0 is used and no explicit limit has been specified. This soft limit is used to restrict the number of threads but if the limit is exceeded with even one thread then xz will continue with one thread using the multi-threaded encoder and this limit is ignored. If the number of threads is specified manually then no default limit will be used; this affects only -T0. This change helps on systems that have very many cores and using all of them for xz makes no sense. Previously xz -T0 could run out of memory on such systems because it attempted to reserve memory for too many threads. This also helps with 32-bit builds which don't have a large amount of address space that would be required for many threads. The default soft limit for -T0 is at most 1400 MiB on all 32-bit platforms. - Previously a low value in --memlimit-compress wouldn't cause xz to switch from multi-threaded mode to single-threaded mode if the limit cannot otherwise be met; xz failed instead. Now xz can switch to single-threaded mode and then, if needed, scale down the LZMA2 dictionary size too just like it already did when it was started in single-threaded mode. - The option --no-adjust no longer prevents xz from scaling down the number of threads as that doesn't affect the compressed output (only performance). Now --no-adjust only prevents adjustments that affect compressed output, that is, with --no-adjust xz won't switch from multi-threaded mode to single-threaded mode and won't scale down the LZMA2 dictionary size. - Added a new option --memlimit-mt-decompress=LIMIT. This is used to limit the number of decompressor threads (possibly falling back to single-threaded mode) but it will never make xz refuse to decompress a file. This has a system-specific default value because without any limit xz could end up allocating memory for the whole compressed input file, the whole uncompressed output file, multiple thread-specific decompressor instances and so on. Basically xz could attempt to use an insane amount of memory even with fairly common files. The system-specific default value is currently the same as the one used for compression with -T0. The new option works together with the existing option --memlimit-decompress=LIMIT. The old option sets a hard limit that must not be exceeded (xz will refuse to decompress) while the new option only restricts the number of threads. If the limit set with --memlimit-mt-decompress is greater than the limit set with --memlimit-compress, then the latter value is used also for --memlimit-mt-decompress. - Added new information to the output of xz --info-memory and new fields to the output of xz --robot --info-memory. - In --lzma2=nice=NUMBER allow 2 and 3 with all match finders now that liblzma handles it. - Don't mention endianness for ARM and ARM-Thumb filters in --long-help. The filters only work for little endian instruction encoding but modern ARM processors using big endian data access still use little endian instruction encoding. So the help text was misleading. In contrast, the PowerPC filter is only for big endian 32/64-bit PowerPC code. Little endian PowerPC would need a separate filter. - Added decompression support for the .lz (lzip) file format version 0 and the original unextended version 1. It is autodetected by default. See also the option --format on the xz man page. - Sandboxing enabled by default: * Capsicum (FreeBSD) * pledge(2) (OpenBSD) * Scripts now support the .lz format using xz. * A few new tests were added. * The liblzma-specific tests are now supported in CMake-based builds too ("make test"). |

Log message: xz: updated to 5.2.9 5.2.9 (2022-11-30) * liblzma: - Fixed an infinite loop in LZMA encoder initialization if dict_size >= 2 GiB. (The encoder only supports up to 1536 MiB.) - Fixed two cases of invalid free() that can happen if a tiny allocation fails in encoder re-initialization or in lzma_filters_update(). These bugs had some similarities with the bug fixed in 5.2.7. - Fixed lzma_block_encoder() not allowing the use of LZMA_SYNC_FLUSH with lzma_code() even though it was documented to be supported. The sync-flush code in the Block encoder was already used internally via lzma_stream_encoder(), so this was just a missing flag in the lzma_block_encoder() API function. - GNU/Linux only: Don't put symbol versions into static liblzma as it breaks things in some cases (and even if it didn't break anything, symbol versions in static libraries are useless anyway). The downside of the fix is that if the configure options --with-pic or --without-pic are used then it's not possible to build both shared and static liblzma at the same time on GNU/Linux anymore; with those options --disable-static or --disable-shared must be used too. |

Log message: xz: updated to 5.2.8 5.2.8 (2022-11-13) * xz: - If xz cannot remove an input file when it should, this is now treated as a warning (exit status 2) instead of an error (exit status 1). This matches GNU gzip and it is more logical as at that point the output file has already been successfully closed. - Fix handling of .xz files with an unsupported check type. Previously such printed a warning message but then xz behaved as if an error had occurred (didn't decompress, exit status 1). Now a warning is printed, decompression is done anyway, and exit status is 2. This used to work slightly before 5.0.0. In practice this bug matters only if xz has been built with some check types disabled. As instructed in PACKAGERS, such builds should be done in special situations only. - Fix "xz -dc --single-stream tests/files/good-0-empty.xz" which failed with "Internal error (bug)". That is, --single-stream was broken if the first .xz stream in the input file didn't contain any uncompressed data. - Fix displaying file sizes in the progress indicator when working in passthru mode and there are multiple input files. Just like "gzip -cdf", "xz -cdf" works like \ "cat" when the input file isn't a supported compressed file format. In this case the file size counters weren't reset between files so with multiple input files the progress indicator displayed an incorrect (too large) value. * liblzma: - API docs in lzma/container.h: * Update the list of decoder flags in the decoder function docs. * Explain LZMA_CONCATENATED behavior with .lzma files in lzma_auto_decoder() docs. - OpenBSD: Use HW_NCPUONLINE to detect the number of available hardware threads in lzma_physmem(). - Fix use of wrong macro to detect x86 SSE2 support. __SSE2_MATH__ was used with GCC/Clang but the correct one is __SSE2__. The first one means that SSE2 is used for floating point math which is irrelevant here. The affected SSE2 code isn't used on x86-64 so this affects only 32-bit x86 builds that use -msse2 without -mfpmath=sse (there is no runtime detection for SSE2). It improves LZMA compression speed (not decompression). - Fix the build with Intel C compiler 2021 (ICC, not ICX) on Linux. It defines __GNUC__ to 10 but doesn't support the __symver__ attribute introduced in GCC 10. * Scripts: Ignore warnings from xz by using --quiet --no-warn. This is needed if the input .xz files use an unsupported check type. * Translations: - Updated Croatian and Turkish translations. - One new translations wasn't included because it needed technical fixes. It will be in upcoming 5.4.0. No new translations will be added to the 5.2.x branch anymore. - Renamed the French man page translation file from fr_FR.po to fr.po and thus also its install directory (like /usr/share/man/fr_FR -> .../fr). - Man page translations for upcoming 5.4.0 are now handled in the Translation Project. * Update doc/faq.txt a little so it's less out-of-date. |

Log message: xz: updated to 5.2.7 5.2.7 (2022-09-30) * liblzma: - Made lzma_filters_copy() to never modify the destination array if an error occurs. lzma_stream_encoder() and lzma_stream_encoder_mt() already assumed this. Before this change, if a tiny memory allocation in lzma_filters_copy() failed it would lead to a crash (invalid free() or invalid memory reads) in the cleanup paths of these two encoder initialization functions. - Added missing integer overflow check to lzma_index_append(). This affects xz --list and other applications that decode the Index field from .xz files using lzma_index_decoder(). Normal decompression of .xz files doesn't call this code and thus most applications using liblzma aren't affected by this bug. - Single-threaded .xz decoder (lzma_stream_decoder()): If lzma_code() returns LZMA_MEMLIMIT_ERROR it is now possible to use lzma_memlimit_set() to increase the limit and continue decoding. This was supposed to work from the beginning but there was a bug. With other decoders (.lzma or threaded .xz decoder) this already worked correctly. - Fixed accumulation of integrity check type statistics in lzma_index_cat(). This bug made lzma_index_checks() return only the type of the integrity check of the last Stream when multiple lzma_indexes were concatenated. Most applications don't use these APIs but in xz it made xz --list not list all check types from concatenated .xz files. In xz --list --verbose only the per-file "Check:" lines were affected and in xz --robot --list only the "file" line was affected. - Added ABI compatibility with executables that were linked against liblzma in RHEL/CentOS 7 or other liblzma builds that had copied the problematic patch from RHEL/CentOS 7 (xz-5.2.2-compat-libs.patch). For the details, see the comment at the top of src/liblzma/validate_map.sh. WARNING: This uses __symver__ attribute with GCC >= 10. In other cases the traditional __asm__(".symver ...") is used. Using link-time optimization (LTO, -flto) with GCC versions older than 10 can silently result in broken liblzma.so.5 (incorrect symbol versions)! If you want to use -flto with GCC, you must use GCC >= 10. LTO with Clang seems to work even with the traditional __asm__(".symver ...") method. * xzgrep: Fixed compatibility with old shells that break if comments inside command substitutions have apostrophes ('). This problem was introduced in 5.2.6. * Build systems: - New #define in config.h: HAVE_SYMBOL_VERSIONS_LINUX - Windows: Fixed liblzma.dll build with Visual Studio project files. It broke in 5.2.6 due to a change that was made to improve CMake support. - Windows: Building liblzma with UNICODE defined should now work. - CMake files are now actually included in the release tarball. They should have been in 5.2.5 already. - Minor CMake fixes and improvements. * Added a new translation: Turkish |
