(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. + + 5.2.8 (2022-11-13) * xz: |
