2010-05-26	Remove the Subblock filter code for now.	Lasse Collin	1	-5/+0
	The spec isn't finished and the code didn't compile anymore. It won't be included in XZ Utils 5.0.0. It's easy to get it back once the spec is done.
2009-11-15	Add lzma_physmem().	Lasse Collin	1	-2/+3
	I had hoped to keep liblzma as purely a compression library as possible (e.g. file I/O will go into a different library), but it seems that applications linking agaisnt liblzma need some way to determine the memory usage limit, and knowing the amount of RAM is one reasonable way to help making such decisions. Thanks to Jonathan Nieder for the original patch.
2009-07-06	Use sed instead of $(SED) so that we don't need to	Lasse Collin	1	-1/+1
	use AC_PROG_SED. We don't do anything fancy with sed, so this should work OK. libtool 2.2 sets SED but 1.5 doesn't, so $(SED) happened to work when using libtool 2.2.
2009-06-30	Build system fixes	Lasse Collin	1	-17/+62
	Don't use libtool convenience libraries to avoid recently discovered long-standing subtle but somewhat severe bugs in libtool (at least 1.5.22 and 2.2.6 are affected). It was found when porting XZ Utils to Windows <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/libtool/2009-06/msg00070.html> but the problem is significant also e.g. on GNU/Linux. Unless --disable-shared is passed to configure, static library built from a set of convenience libraries will contain PIC objects. That is, while libtool builds non-PIC objects too, only PIC objects will be used from the convenience libraries. On 32-bit x86 (tested on mobile XP2400+), using PIC instead of non-PIC makes the decompressor 10 % slower with the default CFLAGS. So while xz was linked against static liblzma by default, it got the slower PIC objects unless --disable-shared was used. I tend develop and benchmark with --disable-shared due to faster build time, so I hadn't noticed the problem in benchmarks earlier. This commit also adds support for building Windows resources into liblzma and executables.
2009-06-28	Add -no-undefined to get shared liblzma on Windows.	Lasse Collin	1	-1/+1

2009-04-13	Put the interesting parts of XZ Utils into the public domain.	Lasse Collin	1	-10/+3
	Some minor documentation cleanups were made at the same time.
2008-12-31	Updated src/liblzma/Makefile.am to use liblzma.pc.in, which	Lasse Collin	1	-2/+2
	should have been in the previous commit.
2008-09-27	Some API changes, bug fixes, cleanups etc.	Lasse Collin	1	-1/+1

2008-08-28	Sort of garbage collection commit. :-\| Many things are still	Lasse Collin	1	-4/+13
	broken. API has changed a lot and it will still change a little more here and there. The command line tool doesn't have all the required changes to reflect the API changes, so it's easy to get "internal error" or trigger assertions.
