XZ Utils Release Notes
======================
+5.4.1 (2023-01-11)
+
+ * liblzma:
+
+ - Fixed the return value of lzma_microlzma_encoder() if the
+ LZMA options lc/lp/pb are invalid. Invalid lc/lp/pb options
+ made the function return LZMA_STREAM_END without encoding
+ anything instead of returning LZMA_OPTIONS_ERROR.
+
+ - Windows / Visual Studio: Workaround a possible compiler bug
+ when targeting 32-bit x86 and compiling the CLMUL version of
+ the CRC64 code. The CLMUL code isn't enabled by the Windows
+ project files but it is in the CMake-based builds.
+
+ * Build systems:
+
+ - Windows-specific CMake changes:
+
+ * Don't try to enable CLMUL CRC64 code if _mm_set_epi64x()
+ isn't available. This fixes CMake-based build with Visual
+ Studio 2013.
+
+ * Created a workaround for a build failure with windres
+ from GNU binutils. It is used only when the C compiler
+ is GCC (not Clang). The workaround is incompatible
+ with llvm-windres, resulting in "XZx20Utils" instead
+ of "XZ Utils" in the resource file, but without the
+ workaround llvm-windres works correctly. See the
+ comment in CMakeLists.txt for details.
+
+ * Included the resource files in the xz and xzdec build
+ rules. Building the command line tools is still
+ experimental but possible with MinGW-w64.
+
+ - Visual Studio: Added stream_decoder_mt.c to the project
+ files. Now the threaded decompressor lzma_stream_decoder_mt()
+ gets built. CMake-based build wasn't affected.
+
+ - Updated windows/INSTALL-MSVC.txt to mention that CMake-based
+ build is now the preferred method with Visual Studio. The
+ project files will probably be removed after 5.4.x releases.
+
+ - Changes to #defines in config.h:
+
+ * HAVE_DECL_CLOCK_MONOTONIC was replaced by
+ HAVE_CLOCK_MONOTONIC. The old macro was always defined
+ in configure-generated config.h to either 0 or 1. The
+ new macro is defined (to 1) only if the declaration of
+ CLOCK_MONOTONIC is available. This matches the way most
+ other config.h macros work and makes things simpler with
+ other build systems.
+
+ * HAVE_DECL_PROGRAM_INVOCATION_NAME was replaced by
+ HAVE_PROGRAM_INVOCATION_NAME for the same reason.
+
+ * Tests:
+
+ - Fixed test script compatibility with ancient /bin/sh
+ versions. Now the five test_compress_* tests should
+ no longer fail on Solaris 10.
+
+ - Added and refactored a few tests.
+
+ * Translations:
+
+ - Updated the Catalan and Esperanto translations.
+
+ - Added Korean and Ukrainian man page translations.
+
