5.3.2alpha (2021-10-28)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This release was made on short notice so that recent erofs-utils can
|
||||||
|
be built with LZMA support without needing a snapshot from xz.git.
|
||||||
|
Thus many pending things were not included, not even updated
|
||||||
|
translations (which would need to be updated for the new --list
|
||||||
|
strings anyway).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* All fixes from 5.2.5.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* xz:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- When copying metadata from the source file to the destination
|
||||||
|
file, don't try to set the group (GID) if it is already set
|
||||||
|
correctly. This avoids a failure on OpenBSD (and possibly on
|
||||||
|
a few other OSes) where files may get created so that their
|
||||||
|
group doesn't belong to the user, and fchown(2) can fail even
|
||||||
|
if it needs to do nothing.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- The --keep option now accepts symlinks, hardlinks, and
|
||||||
|
setuid, setgid, and sticky files. Previously this required
|
||||||
|
using --force.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Split the long strings used in --list and --info-memory modes
|
||||||
|
to make them much easier for translators.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- If built with sandbox support and enabling the sandbox fails,
|
||||||
|
xz will now immediately exit with exit status of 1. Previously
|
||||||
|
it would only display a warning if -vv was used.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Cap --memlimit-compress to 2000 MiB on MIPS32 because on
|
||||||
|
MIPS32 userspace processes are limited to 2 GiB of address
|
||||||
|
space.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* liblzma:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Added lzma_microlzma_encoder() and lzma_microlzma_decoder().
|
||||||
|
The API is in lzma/container.h.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
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 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 fuzzing support.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Support Intel Control-flow Enforcement Technology (CET) in
|
||||||
|
32-bit x86 assembly files.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Visual Studio: Use non-standard _MSVC_LANG to detect C++
|
||||||
|
standard version in the lzma.h API header. It's used to
|
||||||
|
detect when "noexcept" can be used.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Scripts:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Fix exit status of xzdiff/xzcmp. Exit status could be 2 when
|
||||||
|
the correct value is 1.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Fix exit status of xzgrep.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Detect corrupt .bz2 files in xzgrep.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Add zstd support to xzgrep and xzdiff/xzcmp.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Fix less(1) version detection in xzless. It failed if the
|
||||||
|
version number from "less -V" contained a dot.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Fix typos and technical issues in man pages.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Build systems:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Windows: Fix building of resource files when config.h isn't
|
||||||
|
used. CMake + Visual Studio can now build liblzma.dll.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Various fixes to the CMake support. It might still need a few
|
||||||
|
more fixes even for liblzma-only builds.
