XZ Utils Release Notes
======================
+5.4.5 (2023-11-31)
+
+ * liblzma:
+
+ - Use __attribute__((__no_sanitize_address__)) to avoid address
+ sanitization with CRC64 CLMUL. It uses 16-byte-aligned reads
+ which can extend past the bounds of the input buffer and
+ inherently trigger address sanitization errors. This isn't
+ a bug.
+
+ - Fixed an assertion failure that could be triggered by a large
+ unpadded_size argument. It was verified that there was no
+ other bug than the assertion failure.
+
+ - Fixed a bug that prevented building with Windows Vista
+ threading when __attribute__((__constructor__)) is not
+ supported.
+
+ * xz now properly handles special files such as "con" or "nul" on
+ Windows. Before this fix, the following wrote "foo" to the
+ console and deleted the input file "con_xz":
+
+ echo foo | xz > con_xz
+ xz --suffix=_xz --decompress con_xz
+
+ * Build systems:
+
+ - Allow builds with Windows win95 threading and small mode when
+ __attribute__((__constructor__)) is supported.
+
+ - Added a new line to liblzma.pc for MSYS2 (Windows):
+
+ Cflags.private: -DLZMA_API_STATIC
+
+ When compiling code that will link against static liblzma,
+ the LZMA_API_STATIC macro needs to be defined on Windows.
+
+ - CMake specific changes:
+
+ * Fixed a bug that allowed CLOCK_MONOTONIC to be used even
+ if the check for it failed.
+
+ * Fixed a bug where configuring CMake multiple times
+ resulted in HAVE_CLOCK_GETTIME and HAVE_CLOCK_MONOTONIC
+ not being set.
+
+ * Fixed the build with MinGW-w64-based Clang/LLVM 17.
+ llvm-windres now has more accurate GNU windres emulation
+ so the GNU windres workaround from 5.4.1 is needed with
+ llvm-windres version 17 too.
+
+ * The import library on Windows is now properly named
+ "liblzma.dll.a" instead of "libliblzma.dll.a"
+
+ * Fixed a bug causing the Ninja Generator to fail on
+ UNIX-like systems. This bug was introduced in 5.4.0.
+
+ * Added a new option to disable CLMUL CRC64.
+
+ * A module-definition (.def) file is now created when
+ building liblzma.dll with MinGW-w64.
+
+ * The pkg-config liblzma.pc file is now installed on all
+ builds except when using MSVC on Windows.
+
+ * Added large file support by default for platforms that
+ need it to handle files larger than 2 GiB. This includes
+ MinGW-w64, even 64-bit builds.
+
+ * Small fixes and improvements to the tests.
+
+ * Updated translations: Chinese (simplified) and Esperanto.
+
+
5.4.4 (2023-08-02)
* liblzma and xzdec can now build against WASI SDK when threading
