2020-03-15	Update INSTALL for Windows and DOS and add preliminary info for z/OS.	Lasse Collin	1	-10/+41

2019-09-24	Scripts: Put /usr/xpg4/bin to the beginning of PATH on Solaris.	Lasse Collin	1	-8/+35
	This adds a configure option --enable-path-for-scripts=PREFIX which defaults to empty except on Solaris it is /usr/xpg4/bin to make POSIX grep and others available. The Solaris case had been documented in INSTALL with a manual fix but it's better to do this automatically since it is needed on most Solaris systems anyway. Thanks to Daniel Richard G.
2016-12-26	Document --enable-sandbox configure option in INSTALL.	Lasse Collin	1	-0/+23

2016-03-13	liblzma: Disable external SHA-256 by default.	Lasse Collin	1	-0/+36
	This is the sane thing to do. The conflict with OpenSSL on some OSes and especially that the OS-provided versions can be significantly slower makes it clear that it was a mistake to have the external SHA-256 support enabled by default. Those who want it can now pass --enable-external-sha256 to configure. INSTALL was updated with notes about OSes where this can be a bad idea. The SHA-256 detection code in configure.ac had some bugs that could lead to a build failure in some situations. These were fixed, although it doesn't matter that much now that the external SHA-256 is disabled by default. MINIX >= 3.2.0 uses NetBSD's libc and thus has SHA256_Init in libc instead of libutil. Support for the libutil version was removed.
2015-06-19	Windows: Update the docs.	Lasse Collin	1	-10/+19

2014-12-30	Update Solaris notes in INSTALL.	Lasse Collin	1	-0/+4
	Mention the possible "make check" failure on Solaris in the Solaris-specific section of INSTALL. It was already in section 4.5 but it is better mention it in the OS-specific section too.
2014-12-26	Build: POSIX shell isn't required if scripts are disabled.	Lasse Collin	1	-1/+2

2014-12-20	Update INSTALL about the dependencies of the scripts.	Lasse Collin	1	-5/+10

2014-12-20	Windows: Update build instructions.	Lasse Collin	1	-6/+9

2014-04-25	Build: Add --disable-doc to configure.	Lasse Collin	1	-0/+6

2014-04-24	Update INSTALL.	Lasse Collin	1	-0/+25
	Add a note about failing "make check". The source of the problem should be fixed in libtool (if it really is a libtool bug and not mine) but I'm unable to spend time on that for now. Thanks to Nelson H. F. Beebe for reporting the issue. Add a note about a possible need to run "ldconfig" after "make install".
2013-09-17	Add native threading support on Windows.	Lasse Collin	1	-10/+31
	Now liblzma only uses "mythread" functions and types which are defined in mythread.h matching the desired threading method. Before Windows Vista, there is no direct equivalent to pthread condition variables. Since this package doesn't use pthread_cond_broadcast(), pre-Vista threading can still be kept quite simple. The pre-Vista code doesn't use anything that wasn't already available in Windows 95, so the binaries should run even on Windows 95 if someone happens to care.
2012-07-04	Document --enable-symbol-versions in INSTALL.	Lasse Collin	1	-0/+5

2010-05-10	Updated INSTALL.	Lasse Collin	1	-5/+0

2010-03-07	Change the default of --enable-assume-ram from 32 to 128 MiB.	Lasse Collin	1	-3/+2
	This is to allow files created with "xz -9" to be decompressed if the amount of RAM cannot be determined.
2010-01-31	Updated INSTALL.	Lasse Collin	1	-26/+26
