xz.git - XZ Utils

Age	Commit message (Collapse)	Author	Files	Lines
2011-04-05	xz: Call lzma_end(&strm) before exiting if debugging is enabled.	Lasse Collin	1	-0/+10

2011-03-18	xz: Add --block-size=SIZE.	Lasse Collin	1	-10/+40
	This uses LZMA_FULL_FLUSH every SIZE bytes of input. Man page wasn't updated yet.
2011-03-18	xz: Add --single-stream.	Lasse Collin	1	-2/+9
	This can be useful when there is garbage after the compressed stream (.xz, .lzma, or raw stream). Man page wasn't updated yet.
2010-09-03	xz: Make -vv show also decompressor memory usage.	Lasse Collin	1	-0/+7

2010-09-02	xz: Make setting a preset override a custom filter chain.	Lasse Collin	1	-0/+9
	This is more logical behavior than ignoring preset level options once a custom filter chain has been specified.
2010-09-02	xz: Always warn if adjusting dictionary size due to memlimit.	Lasse Collin	1	-19/+9

2010-08-07	Disable the memory usage limiter by default.	Lasse Collin	1	-3/+5
	For several people, the limiter causes bigger problems that it solves, so it is better to have it disabled by default. Those who want to have a limiter by default need to enable it via the environment variable XZ_DEFAULTS. Support for environment variable XZ_DEFAULTS was added. It is parsed before XZ_OPT and technically identical with it. The intended uses differ quite a bit though; see the man page. The memory usage limit can now be set separately for compression and decompression using --memlimit-compress and --memlimit-decompress. To set both at once, -M or --memlimit can be used. --memory was retained as a legacy alias for --memlimit for backwards compatibility. The semantics of --info-memory were changed in backwards incompatible way. Compatibility wasn't meaningful due to changes in the memory usage limiter functionality. The memory usage limiter info is no longer shown at the bottom of xz --long -help. The memory usage limiter support for removed completely from xzdec. xz's man page was updated to match the above changes. Various unrelated fixes were also made to the man page.
2010-06-15	Add --no-adjust.	Lasse Collin	1	-6/+2

2010-05-16	Split message_filters().	Lasse Collin	1	-1/+1
	message_filters_to_str() converts the filter chain to a string. message_filters_show() replaces the original message_filters(). uint32_to_optstr() was also added to show the dictionary size in nicer format when possible.
2010-02-12	Collection of language fixes to comments and docs.	Lasse Collin	1	-1/+1
	Thanks to Jonathan Nieder.
2010-01-31	Select the default integrity check type at runtime.	Lasse Collin	1	-5/+14
	Previously it was set statically to CRC64 or CRC32 depending on options passed to the configure script.
2010-01-31	Improve displaying of the memory usage limit.	Lasse Collin	1	-5/+3

2010-01-31	Delay opening the destionation file and other fixes.	Lasse Collin	1	-20/+44
	The opening of the destination file is now delayed a little. The coder is initialized, and if decompressing, the memory usage of the first Block compared against the memory usage limit before the destination file is opened. This means that if --force was used, the old "target" file won't be deleted so easily when something goes wrong very early. Thanks to Mark K for the bug report. The above fix required some changes to progress message handling. Now there is a separate function for setting and printing the filename. It is used also in list.c. list_file() now handles stdin correctly (gives an error). A useless check for user_abort was removed from file_io.c.
2010-01-24	Some improvements to printing sizes in xz.	Lasse Collin	1	-35/+21

2009-11-25	Add missing error check to coder.c.	Lasse Collin	1	-9/+11
	With bad luck this could cause a segfault due to reading (but not writing) past the end of the buffer.
2009-11-25	Create sparse files by default when decompressing into	Lasse Collin	1	-16/+17
	a regular file. Sparse file creation can be disabled with --no-sparse. I don't promise yet that the name of this option won't change before 5.0.0. It's possible that the code, that checks when it is safe to use sparse output on stdout, is not good enough, and a more flexible command line option is needed to configure sparse file handling.
2009-07-20	Avoid internal error with --format=xz --lzma1.	Lasse Collin	1	-4/+12

2009-07-04	Make "xz --decompress --stdout --force" copy unrecognized	Lasse Collin	1	-35/+178
	files as is to standard output. This feature is needed to be more compatible with gzip's behavior. This was more complicated to implement than it sounds, because the way liblzma is able to return errors with files of only a few bytes in size. xz now has its own file type detection code and no longer uses lzma_auto_decoder().
2009-06-26	Updated comments to match renamed files.	Lasse Collin	1	-1/+1

2009-06-26	Rename process.[hc] to coder.[hc] and io.[hc] to file_io.[hc]	Lasse Collin	1	-0/+488
	to avoid problems on systems with system headers with those names.
