It was + possible that e.g. the first SIGINT didn't make xz exit + if reading or writing blocked and one had bad luck. The fix + is non-trivial, so as of writing it is unknown if it will be + backported to the v5.0 branch. + + - Made the progress indicator work correctly in threaded mode. + + - Threaded encoder now works together with --block-list=SIZES. + + - Added preliminary support for --flush-timeout=TIMEOUT. + It can be useful for (somewhat) real-time streaming. For + now the decompression side has to be done with something + else than the xz tool due to how xz does buffering, but this + should be fixed. + + 5.1.2alpha (2012-07-04) * All fixes from 5.0.3 and 5.0.4 |
