XZ Utils Release Notes
======================
5.1.3alpha (2013-10-26)
* All fixes from 5.0.5
* liblzma:
- Fixed a deadlock in the threaded encoder.
- Made the uses of lzma_allocator const correct.
- Added lzma_block_uncomp_encode() to create uncompressed
.xz Blocks using LZMA2 uncompressed chunks.
- Added support for native threads on Windows and the ability
to detect the number of CPU cores.
* xz:
- Fixed a race condition in the signal handling. It was
possible that e.g. the first SIGINT didn't make xz exit
if reading or writing blocked and one had bad luck. The fix
is non-trivial, so as of writing it is unknown if it will be
backported to the v5.0 branch.
- Made the progress indicator work correctly in threaded mode.
- Threaded encoder now works together with --block-list=SIZES.
- Added preliminary support for --flush-timeout=TIMEOUT.
It can be useful for (somewhat) real-time streaming. For
now the decompression side has to be done with something
else than the xz tool due to how xz does buffering, but this
should be fixed.
5.1.2alpha (2012-07-04)
* All fixes from 5.0.3 and 5.0.4
