Now the code is clean - under gcc/clang -fsanitize=undefined. Some of these changes - might have a negative effect on performance with old GCC - versions or compilers other than GCC and Clang. The configure - option --enable-unsafe-type-punning can be used to (mostly) - restore the old behavior but it shouldn't normally be used. - - - Improved API documentation of lzma_properties_decode(). - - - Added a very minor encoder speed optimization. - - * xz: - - - Fixed a crash in "xz -dcfv not_an_xz_file". All four options - were required to trigger it. The crash occurred in the - progress indicator code when xz was in passthru mode where - xz works like "cat". - - - Fixed an integer overflow with 32-bit off_t. It could happen - when decompressing a file that has a long run of zero bytes - which xz would try to write as a sparse file. Since the build - system enables large file support by default, off_t is - normally 64-bit even on 32-bit systems. - - - Fixes for --flush-timeout: - * Fix semi-busy-waiting. - * Avoid unneeded flushes when no new input has arrived - since the previous flush was completed. - - - Added a special case for 32-bit xz: If --memlimit-compress is - used to specify a limit that exceeds 4020 MiB, the limit will - be set to 4020 MiB. The values "0" and "max" aren't affected - by this and neither is decompression. This hack can be - helpful when a 32-bit xz has access to 4 GiB address space - but the specified memlimit exceeds 4 GiB. This can happen - e.g. with some scripts. - - - Capsicum sandbox is now enabled by default where available - (FreeBSD >= 10). The sandbox debug messages (xz -vv) were - removed since they seemed to be more annoying than useful. - - - DOS build now requires DJGPP 2.05 instead of 2.04beta. - A workaround for a locale problem with DJGPP 2.05 was added. - - * xzgrep and other scripts: - - - Added a configure option --enable-path-for-scripts=PREFIX. - It is disabled by default except on Solaris where the default - is /usr/xpg4/bin. See INSTALL for details. - - - Added a workaround for a POSIX shell detection problem on - Solaris. - - * Build systems: - - - Added preliminary build instructions for z/OS. See INSTALL - section 1.2.9. - - - Experimental CMake support was added. It should work to build - static liblzma on a few operating systems. It may or may not - work to build shared liblzma. On some platforms it can build - xz and xzdec too but those are only for testing. See the - comment in the beginning of CMakeLists.txt for details. - - - Visual Studio project files were updated. - WindowsTargetPlatformVersion was removed from VS2017 files - and set to "10.0" in the added VS2019 files. In the future - the VS project files will be removed when CMake support is - good enough. - - - New #defines in config.h: HAVE___BUILTIN_ASSUME_ALIGNED, - HAVE___BUILTIN_BSWAPXX, and TUKLIB_USE_UNSAFE_TYPE_PUNNING. - - - autogen.sh has a new optional dependency on po4a and a new - option --no-po4a to skip that step. This matters only if one - wants to remake the build files. po4a is used to update the - translated man pages but as long as the man pages haven't - been modified, there's nothing to update and one can use - --no-po4a to avoid the dependency on po4a. - - * Translations: - - - XZ Utils translations are now handled by the Translation - Project: https://translationproject.org/domain/xz.html - - - All man pages are now included in German too. - - - New xz translations: Brazilian Portuguese, Finnish, - Hungarian, Chinese (simplified), Chinese (traditional), - and Danish (partial translation) - - - Updated xz translations: French, German, Italian, and Polish - - - Unfortunately a few new xz translations weren't included due - to technical problems like too long lines in --help output or - misaligned column headings in tables. In the future, many of - these strings will be split and e.g. the table column - alignment will be handled in software. This should make the - strings easier to translate. - - 5.2.4 (2018-04-29) * liblzma:
