Changes 5.0.5:

* lzmadec and liblzma's lzma_alone_decoder(): Support decompressing
  .lzma files that have less common settings in the headers
  (dictionary size other than 2^n or 2^n + 2^(n-1), or uncompressed
  size greater than 256 GiB). The limitations existed to avoid false
  positives when detecting .lzma files. The lc + lp <= 4 limitation
  still remains since liblzma's LZMA decoder has that limitation.

  NOTE: xz's .lzma support or liblzma's lzma_auto_decoder() are NOT
  affected by this change. They still consider uncommon .lzma headers
  as not being in the .lzma format. Changing this would give way too
  many false positives.

* xz:
    - Interaction of preset and custom filter chain options was
      made less illogical. This affects only certain less typical
      uses cases so few people are expected to notice this change.

      Now when a custom filter chain option (e.g. --lzma2) is
      specified, all preset options (-0 ... -9, -e) earlier are on
      the command line are completely forgotten. Similarly, when
      a preset option is specified, all custom filter chain options
      earlier on the command line are completely forgotten.

      Example 1: "xz -9 --lzma2=preset=5 -e" is equivalent to "xz \ 
-e"
      which is equivalent to "xz -6e". Earlier -e didn't put xz back
      into preset mode and thus the example command was equivalent
      to "xz --lzma2=preset=5".

      Example 2: "xz -9e --lzma2=preset=5 -7" is equivalent to
      "xz -7". Earlier a custom filter chain option didn't make
      xz forget the -e option so the example was equivalent to
      "xz -7e".

    - Fixes and improvements to error handling.

    - Various fixes to the man page.

* xzless: Fixed to work with "less" versions 448 and later.

* xzgrep: Made -h an alias for --no-filename.

* Include the previously missing debug/translation.bash which can
  be useful for translators.

* Include a build script for Mac OS X. This has been in the Git
  repository since 2010 but due to a mistake in Makefile.am the
  script hasn't been included in a release tarball before.

Changes 5.0.4:
* liblzma:
  - Fix lzma_index_init(). It could crash if memory allocation failed.
  - Fix the possibility of an incorrect LZMA_BUF_ERROR when a BCJ
    filter is used and the application only provides exactly as
    much output space as is the uncompressed size of the file.
  - Fix a bug in doc/examples_old/xz_pipe_decompress.c. It didn't
    check if the last call to lzma_code() really returned
    LZMA_STREAM_END, which made the program think that truncated
    files are valid.
  - New example programs in doc/examples (old programs are now in
    doc/examples_old). These have more comments and more detailed
    error handling.
* Fix "xz -lvv foo.xz". It could crash on some corrupted files.
* Fix output of "xz --robot -lv" and "xz --robot -lvv" which
  incorrectly printed the filename also in the "foo (x/x)" format.
* Fix exit status of "xzdiff foo.xz bar.xz".
* Fix exit status of "xzgrep foo binary_file".
* Fix portability to EBCDIC systems.
* Fix a configure issue on AIX with the XL C compiler. See INSTALL
  for details.
* Update French, German, Italian, and Polish translations.

Log message:
Explicitly disable optreset on Solaris.  devel/libgetopt defines it even
though Solaris does not include it in libc, and the xz feature test only
tests the definition, not functionality.

Log message:
Explicitly disable symbol visibility on Solaris, causes problems on a number
of setups, and is recommended as part of the xz INSTALL file.

Fixes Solaris9/x86/gcc at least, tested on SmartOS which is otherwise fine.

Changes 5.0.3:
* liblzma fixes:
  - A memory leak was fixed.
  - lzma_stream_buffer_encode() no longer creates an empty .xz
    Block if encoding an empty buffer. Such an empty Block with
    LZMA2 data would trigger a bug in 5.0.1 and older (see the
    first bullet point in 5.0.2 notes). When releasing 5.0.2,
    I thought that no encoder creates this kind of files but
    I was wrong.
  - Validate function arguments better in a few functions. Most
    importantly, specifying an unsupported integrity check to
    lzma_stream_buffer_encode() no longer creates a corrupt .xz
    file. Probably no application tries to do that, so this
    shouldn't be a big problem in practice.
  - Document that lzma_block_buffer_encode(),
    lzma_easy_buffer_encode(), lzma_stream_encoder(), and
    lzma_stream_buffer_encode() may return LZMA_UNSUPPORTED_CHECK.
  - The return values of the _memusage() functions are now
    documented better.
* Fix command name detection in xzgrep. xzegrep and xzfgrep now
  correctly use egrep and fgrep instead of grep.
* French translation was added.

Log message:
Changes 5.0.2:
* LZMA2 decompressor now correctly accepts LZMA2 streams with no
  uncompressed data. Previously it considered them corrupt. The
  bug can affect applications that use raw LZMA2 streams. It is
  very unlikely to affect .xz files because no compressor creates
  .xz files with empty LZMA2 streams. (Empty .xz files are a
  different thing than empty LZMA2 streams.)
* "xz --suffix=.foo filename.foo" now refuses to compress the
  file due to it already having the suffix .foo. It was already
  documented on the man page, but the code lacked the test.
* "xzgrep -l foo bar.xz" works now.
* Polish translation was added.

Log message:
Changes 5.0.1:
* xz --force now (de)compresses files that have setuid, setgid,
  The man page had it documented this way already, but the code
  had a bug.
* gzip and bzip2 support in xzdiff was fixed.
* Portability fixes
* Minor fix to Czech translation

Log message:
Changes 5.0.0:
* The memory usage limit is now disabled by default.
* Added support for XZ_DEFAULTS environment variable.
* The compression settings associated with the preset levels
  -0 ... -9 have been changed. --extreme was changed a little too.
* If a preset level (-0 ... -9) is specified after a custom filter
  chain options have been used (e.g. --lzma2), the custom filter
  chain will be forgotten. Earlier the preset options were
  completely ignored after custom filter chain options had been seen.
* xz will create sparse files when decompressing if the uncompressed
  data contains long sequences of binary zeros.
* Support for "xz --list" was added. Combine with --verbose or
  --verbose --verbose (-vv) for detailed output.
* I had hoped that liblzma API would have been stable after
  4.999.9beta, but there have been a couple of changes in the
  advanced features, which don't affect most applications:
  - Index handling code was revised. If you were using the old
    API, you will get a compiler error (so it's easy to notice).
  - A subtle but important change was made to the Block handling
    API. lzma_block.version has to be initialized even for
    lzma_block_header_decode(). Code that doesn't do it will work
    for now, but might break in the future, which makes this API
    change easy to miss.
* The major soname has been bumped to 5.0.0. liblzma API and ABI
  are now stable, so the need to recompile programs linking against
  liblzma shouldn't arise soon.
