2009-11-14	Fix a design error in liblzma API.	Lasse Collin	1	-10/+66
	Originally the idea was that using LZMA_FULL_FLUSH with Stream encoder would read the filter chain from the same array that was used to intialize the Stream encoder. Since most apps wouldn't use LZMA_FULL_FLUSH, most apps wouldn't need to keep the filter chain available after initializing the Stream encoder. However, due to my mistake, it actually required keeping the array always available. Since setting the new filter chain via the array used at initialization time is not a nice way to do it for a couple of reasons, this commit ditches it and introduces lzma_filters_update(). This new function replaces also the "persistent" flag used by LZMA2 (and to-be-designed Subblock filter), which was also an ugly thing to do. Thanks to Alexey Tourbin for reminding me about the problem that Stream encoder used to require keeping the filter chain allocated.
2009-04-28	Fixed a crash in liblzma.	Lasse Collin	1	-1/+1
	liblzma tries to avoid useless free()/malloc() pairs in initialization when multiple files are handled using the same lzma_stream. This didn't work with filter chains due to comparison of wrong pointers in lzma_next_coder_init(), making liblzma think that no memory reallocation is needed even when it actually is. Easy way to trigger this bug is to decompress two files with a single xz command. The first file should have e.g. x86+LZMA2 as the filter chain, and the second file just LZMA2.
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.
2009-02-02	Modify LZMA_API macro so that it works on Windows with	Lasse Collin	1	-1/+1
	other compilers than MinGW. This may hurt readability of the API headers slightly, but I don't know any better way to do this.
2008-12-27	Bunch of liblzma tweaks, including some API changes.	Lasse Collin	1	-1/+2
	The API and ABI should now be very close to stable, although the code behind it isn't yet.
2008-11-19	Oh well, big messy commit again. Some highlights:	Lasse Collin	1	-3/+3
	- 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
2008-09-13	Renamed constants:	Lasse Collin	1	-2/+2
	- LZMA_VLI_VALUE_MAX -> LZMA_VLI_MAX - LZMA_VLI_VALUE_UNKNOWN -> LZMA_VLI_UNKNOWN - LZMA_HEADER_ERRRO -> LZMA_OPTIONS_ERROR
2008-09-12	Improved the Stream Flags handling API.	Lasse Collin	1	-0/+2

2008-09-11	Remove bogus #includes.	Lasse Collin	1	-1/+0

2008-09-10	Comments	Lasse Collin	1	-1/+5

2008-08-28	Sort of garbage collection commit. :-\| Many things are still	Lasse Collin	1	-21/+14
	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	-0/+282
	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.
