See --enable-sandbox in INSTALL. + + * C99/C11 conformance fixes to liblzma. The issues affected at least + some builds using link-time optimizations. + + * Fixed bugs in the rarely-used function lzma_index_dup(). + + * Use of external SHA-256 code is now disabled by default. + It can still be enabled by passing --enable-external-sha256 + to configure. The reasons to disable it by default (see INSTALL + for more details): + + - Some OS-specific SHA-256 implementations conflict with + OpenSSL and cause problems in programs that link against both + liblzma and libcrypto. At least FreeBSD 10 and MINIX 3.3.0 + are affected. + + - The internal SHA-256 is faster than the SHA-256 code in + some operating systems. + + * Changed CPU core count detection to use sched_getaffinity() on + GNU/Linux and GNU/kFreeBSD. + + * Fixes to the build-system and xz to make xz buildable even when + encoders, decoders, or threading have been disabled from libilzma + using configure options. These fixes added two new #defines to + config.h: HAVE_ENCODERS and HAVE_DECODERS. + + 5.2.2 (2015-09-29) * Fixed bugs in QNX-specific code. |
