xz/xz.changes
Stephan Kulow 232099483e - Update to version 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.

Thu Apr 7 20:43:05 UTC 2011 - crrodriguez@opensuse.org
- Update to version 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.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sun Jun 7 19:39:45 CEST 2009 - crrodriguez@suse.de
- remove static libraries, see bnc#509945 for details
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sun Feb 22 18:37:26 CET 2009 - ro@suse.de
- added baselibs.conf (for rpm-32bit)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Feb 16 10:59:51 CET 2009 - coolo@suse.de
- use bzip payload, so users are able to install new rpm on old systems
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Wed Feb 11 12:44:41 CET 2009 - coolo@suse.de
- fix devel symlink
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Feb 6 13:50:53 CET 2009 - schwab@suse.de
- Update to xz-4.999.8beta.
See git://ctrl.tukaani.org/lzma-utils.git.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Wed Jan 7 10:26:30 CET 2009 - schwab@suse.de
- Update to xz-4.999.7beta.
See git://ctrl.tukaani.org/lzma-utils.git.
- Rename to xz.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Wed Jul 30 13:53:18 CEST 2008 - schwab@suse.de
- Update to lzma-4.32.7.
* If "lzma -t" is run on a corrupt file or interrupted by a signal,
don't unlink /dev/null.
* Partial fix to race conditions where a signal could make lzma to
unlink both the source and destination files. Now it cannot lose
data anymore, but with bad luck an incomplete file may be left
on the disk.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Wed May 14 22:04:25 CEST 2008 - schwab@suse.de
- Update to lzma-4.32.6.
* Always use 32-bit integer to hold probability variables. Earlier,
these were 64-bit on 64-bit architectures, which hurt cache
efficiency in the CPU, and thus performance of LZMA. 32-bit
architectures are not affected by this change.
* Fix a theoretical data corruption bug in the LZMA encoder. It is
about overflowing a 32-bit integer, whose typical value stays below
five. I don't know if it is actually possible to construct to a file
that could make it overflow. Even if it were possible, it would "only"
make the output file corrupt so that it is 4 GiB too small; there
are no other security risks. Now the integer is 64-bit to be sure
it won't overflow.
* Add support for copying timestamps on operating systems that support
setting timestamps only by filename, not by file descriptor.
* Several portability fixes were made.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri May 9 11:51:42 CEST 2008 - schwab@suse.de
- Revert last changes.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue May 6 22:36:09 CEST 2008 - bk@suse.de
- ci removed #neededforbuild while mbuild converts to BuildRequires
- bzip2 source to save space (not lzma, so it can be built in <11.0)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue May 6 14:24:02 CEST 2008 - bk@suse.de
- run the package-provided self-test by adding a call to 'make check'
- use %configure instead of equivalent configure call with options
- improved to allow building in SLES and non-SUSE repositories, eg:
- replace obsolete nostatic patch with check for static objects
- use more generic wildcards in the file list for manual pages
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Feb 4 19:20:31 CET 2008 - schwab@suse.de
- Fix installation.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Feb 4 13:32:06 CET 2008 - schwab@suse.de
- Update to lzma-4.32.5.
* The percentage shown when --verbose is used, works again. Also some
typos were fixed from the messages printed by --verbose.
* Several small portability fixes were made.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Jan 4 07:12:26 CET 2008 - crrodriguez@suse.de
- Version 4.32.4
* Ignore command line switch --format=alone. This way current scripts
can be written so that they will produce LZMA_Alone format files
even with the new command line tool once it is finishes along with
liblzma.
* The command line tool now tells if the user tries to decode files
in the new .lzma format. The message recommends upgrading to newer
LZMA Utils.
* Added some internal consistency checks to liblzmadec, so that it
doesn't crash if given lzmadec_stream whose initialization failed.
Some applications using zlib and libbzip2 don't check if
initialization was successful, and expect that error gets caught
safely later.
- disable static libraries
- remove liblzmadec.la that has empty dependency_libs
- do not link utils statically
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Dec 3 14:12:12 CET 2007 - dmueller@suse.de
- update to 4.32.3:
* rare file content loss bugs fixed (did not check for error upon close())
* permissions copying fixed
- testsuited switched partially to GPLv3
- fix library package name
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Thu Oct 11 14:52:41 CEST 2007 - schwab@suse.de
- Fix missing include.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Wed Oct 10 14:56:31 CEST 2007 - schwab@suse.de
