+XZ Utils Release Notes
+======================
+
+5.0.3 (2011-05-21)
+
+ * 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.
+
