The Index decoder code didn't perfectly match the API docs,
which said that *i will be set to point to the decoded Index
only after decoding has succeeded. The docs were a bit unclear
too.
Now the decoder will initially set *i to NULL. *i will be set
to point to the decoded Index once decoding has succeeded.
This simplifies applications too, since it avoids dangling
pointers.
Added lzma_nothrow for every function. It adds
throw() when the header is used in C++ code.
Some lzma_attrs were added or removed.
Lots of comments were improved.
- Updated to the latest, probably final file format version.
- Command line tool reworked to not use threads anymore.
Threading will probably go into liblzma anyway.
- Memory usage limit is now about 30 % for uncompression
and about 90 % for compression.
- Progress indicator with --verbose
- Simplified --help and full --long-help
- Upgraded to the last LGPLv2.1+ getopt_long from gnulib.
- Some bug fixes
broken. API has changed a lot and it will still change a
little more here and there. The command line tool doesn't
have all the required changes to reflect the API changes, so
it's easy to get "internal error" or trigger assertions.
specification. Simplify things by removing most of the
support for known uncompressed size in most places.
There are some miscellaneous changes here and there too.
The API of liblzma has got many changes and still some
more will be done soon. While most of the code has been
updated, some things are not fixed (the command line tool
will choke with invalid filter chain, if nothing else).
Subblock filter is somewhat broken for now. It will be
updated once the encoded format of the Subblock filter
has been decided.
