Age	Commit message (Collapse)	Author	Files	Lines
2010-10-21	liblzma: Update the comments in the API headers.	Lasse Collin	1	-2/+2
	Adding support for LZMA_FINISH for Index encoding and decoding needed tiny additions to the relevant .c files too.
2010-05-26	Remove the Subblock filter code for now.	Lasse Collin	1	-1/+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.
2010-05-14	Omit lzma_restrict from the API headers.	Lasse Collin	1	-12/+0
	It isn't really useful so omitting it makes things shorter and slightly more readable.
2009-12-09	Always rely on GCC's auto-import on Windows.	Lasse Collin	1	-7/+9
	I understood that this is nicer, because then people don't need to worry about the LZMA_API_STATIC macro. Thanks to Charles Wilson and Keith Marshall.
2009-11-15	Add lzma_physmem().	Lasse Collin	1	-0/+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.
2009-09-12	Fix GCC version check for nothrow attribute.	Lasse Collin	1	-1/+1

2009-09-12	A few grammar fixes.	Lasse Collin	1	-2/+2
	Thanks to Christian Weisgerber for pointing out some of these.
2009-08-27	Updates to liblzma API headers.	Lasse Collin	1	-0/+20
	Added lzma_nothrow for every function. It adds throw() when the header is used in C++ code. Some lzma_attrs were added or removed. Lots of comments were improved.
2009-06-26	Basic support for building with Cygwin and MinGW using	Lasse Collin	1	-2/+5
	the Autotools based build system. It's not good yet, more fixes will follow.
2009-04-13	Put the interesting parts of XZ Utils into the public domain.	Lasse Collin	1	-15/+23
	Some minor documentation cleanups were made at the same time.
2009-02-07	Introduced LZMA_API_STATIC macro, which the applications	Lasse Collin	1	-7/+24
	need to #define when linking against static liblzma on platforms like Windows. Most developers don't need to care about LZMA_API_STATIC at all.
2009-02-02	Modify LZMA_API macro so that it works on Windows with	Lasse Collin	1	-3/+3
	other compilers than MinGW. This may hurt readability of the API headers slightly, but I don't know any better way to do this.
2009-02-01	Use __cdecl also for function pointers in liblzma API when	Lasse Collin	1	-7/+11
	on Windows.
2009-01-31	Add LZMA_API to liblzma API headers. It's useful at least	Lasse Collin	1	-0/+17
	on Windows. sysdefs.h no longer #includes lzma.h, so lzma.h has to be #included separately where needed.
2009-01-31	Fix two lines in lzma.h on which the # wasn't at the	Lasse Collin	1	-2/+2
	beginning of the line.
2009-01-31	Add support for using liblzma headers in MSVC, which has no	Lasse Collin	1	-24/+46
	stdint.h or inttypes.h.
2009-01-31	Fix # -> ## in a macro in lzma.h.	Lasse Collin	1	-1/+1

2008-12-31	Renamed lzma_options_simple to lzma_options_bcj in the API.	Lasse Collin	1	-1/+1
	The internal implementation is still using the name "simple". It may need some cleanups, so I look at it later.
2008-12-31	Remove lzma_init() and other init functions from liblzma API.	Lasse Collin	1	-1/+0
	Half of developers were already forgetting to use these functions, which could have caused total breakage in some future liblzma version or even now if --enable-small was used. Now liblzma uses pthread_once() to do the initializations unless it has been built with --disable-threads which make these initializations thread-unsafe. When --enable-small isn't used, liblzma currently gets needlessly linked against libpthread (on systems that have it). While it is stupid for now, liblzma will need threads in future anyway, so this stupidity will be temporary only. When --enable-small is used, different code CRC32 and CRC64 is now used than without --enable-small. This made the resulting binary slightly smaller, but the main reason was to clean it up and to handle the lack of lzma_init_check(). The pkg-config file lzma.pc was renamed to liblzma.pc. I'm not sure if it works correctly and portably for static linking (Libs.private includes -pthread or other operating system specific flags). Hopefully someone complains if it is bad. lzma_rc_prices[] is now included as a precomputed array even with --enable-small. It's just 128 bytes now that it uses uint8_t instead of uint32_t. Smaller array seemed to be at least as fast as the more bloated uint32_t array on x86; hopefully it's not bad on other architectures.
2008-12-27	Bunch of liblzma tweaks, including some API changes.	Lasse Collin	1	-4/+4
	The API and ABI should now be very close to stable, although the code behind it isn't yet.
2008-12-17	Remove the alignment functions for now. Maybe they will	Lasse Collin	1	-1/+0
	be added back in some form later, but the current version wasn't modular, so it would need fixing anyway.
2008-12-15	Bunch of liblzma API cleanups and fixes.	Lasse Collin	1	-56/+66

2008-11-25	Remove the nowadays unneeded memory limitting malloc() wrapper.	Lasse Collin	1	-1/+0

2008-08-28	Sort of garbage collection commit. :-\| Many things are still	Lasse Collin	1	-35/+126
	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.
2008-06-18	Update the code to mostly match the new simpler file format	Lasse Collin	1	-6/+3
	specification. Simplify things by removing most of the support for known uncompressed size in most places. There are some miscellaneous changes here and there too. The API of liblzma has got many changes and still some more will be done soon. While most of the code has been updated, some things are not fixed (the command line tool will choke with invalid filter chain, if nothing else). Subblock filter is somewhat broken for now. It will be updated once the encoded format of the Subblock filter has been decided.
2008-01-22	Added lzma_easy_* functions. These should make using	Lasse Collin	1	-0/+1
	liblzma as easy as using zlib, because the easy API don't require developers to know any fancy LZMA options. Note that Multi-Block Stream encoding is currently broken. The easy API should be OK, the bug(s) are elsewhere.
2008-01-06	Introduced compatibility with systems that have pre-C99	Lasse Collin	1	-14/+26
	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.
