(rewrite will be better).

2009-04-13Put the interesting parts of XZ Utils into the public domain.Lasse Collin1-35/+3
Some minor documentation cleanups were made at the same time.
2009-01-28The .xz file format specification version 1.0.0 is nowLasse Collin1-35/+49
officially released. The format has been technically the same since 2008-11-19, but now that it is frozen, people can start using it without a fear that the format will break.
2008-12-09Put the file format specification into the public domain.Lasse Collin1-15/+9
Same will be done to the actual code later.
2008-11-19Oh well, big messy commit again. Some highlights:Lasse Collin1-114/+146
- Updated to the latest, probably final file format version. - Command line tool reworked to not use threads anymore. Threading will probably go into liblzma anyway. - Memory usage limit is now about 30 % for uncompression and about 90 % for compression. - Progress indicator with --verbose - Simplified --help and full --long-help - Upgraded to the last LGPLv2.1+ getopt_long from gnulib. - Some bug fixes
2008-09-27Updated file format specification. It changes the suffixLasse Collin1-93/+32
of the new format to .xz and removes the recently added LZMA filter.
2008-09-07Changed Filter ID of LZMA to 0x20.Lasse Collin1-2/+2

2008-06-17Update the file format specification draft. The new one isLasse Collin1-1286/+508
a lot simpler than the previous versions, but it also means that the existing code will change a lot.

2008-01-16Tiny non-technical edits to file-format.txt.Lasse Collin1-3/+3
2008-01-06Introduced compatibility with systems that have pre-C99Lasse Collin1-2/+8
or no inttypes.h. This is useful when the compiler has good enough support for C99, but libc headers don't. Changed liblzma API so that sys/types.h and inttypes.h have to be #included before #including lzma.h. On systems that don't have C99 inttypes.h, it's the problem of the applications to provide the required types and macros before #including lzma.h. If lzma.h defined the missing types and macros, it could conflict with third-party applications whose configure has detected that the types are missing and defined them in config.h already. An alternative would have been introducing lzma_uint32 and similar types, but that would just be an extra pain on modern systems.
