XZ Utils Release Notes
======================
+5.2.9 (2022-11-30)
+
+ * liblzma:
+
+ - Fixed an infinite loop in LZMA encoder initialization
+ if dict_size >= 2 GiB. (The encoder only supports up
+ to 1536 MiB.)
+
+ - Fixed two cases of invalid free() that can happen if
+ a tiny allocation fails in encoder re-initialization
+ or in lzma_filters_update(). These bugs had some
+ similarities with the bug fixed in 5.2.7.
+
+ - Fixed lzma_block_encoder() not allowing the use of
+ LZMA_SYNC_FLUSH with lzma_code() even though it was
+ documented to be supported. The sync-flush code in
+ the Block encoder was already used internally via
+ lzma_stream_encoder(), so this was just a missing flag
+ in the lzma_block_encoder() API function.
+
+ - GNU/Linux only: Don't put symbol versions into static
+ liblzma as it breaks things in some cases (and even if
+ it didn't break anything, symbol versions in static
+ libraries are useless anyway). The downside of the fix
+ is that if the configure options --with-pic or --without-pic
+ are used then it's not possible to build both shared and
+ static liblzma at the same time on GNU/Linux anymore;
+ with those options --disable-static or --disable-shared
+ must be used too.
+
+ * New email address for bug reports is <xz@tukaani.org> which
+ forwards messages to Lasse Collin and Jia Tan.
