2009-11-15	Add lzma_physmem().	Lasse Collin	1	-2/+1
	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.
2009-10-02	Add support for --enable-assume-ram=SIZE.	Lasse Collin	1	-4/+3

2009-09-19	Various changes.	Lasse Collin	1	-4/+4
	Separate a few reusable components from XZ Utils specific code. The reusable code is now in "tuklib" modules. A few more could be separated still, e.g. bswap.h. Fix some bugs in lzmainfo. Fix physmem and cpucores code on OS/2. Thanks to Elbert Pol for help. Add OpenVMS support into physmem. Add a few #ifdefs to ease building XZ Utils on OpenVMS. Thanks to Jouk Jansen for the original patch.
2009-05-22	Make the default memory usage limit 40 % of RAM for both	Lasse Collin	1	-50/+36
	compressing and decompressing. This should be OK now that xz automatically scales down the compression settings if they would exceed the memory usage limit (earlier, the limit for compression was increased to 90 % because low limit broke scripts that used "xz -9" on systems with low RAM). Support spcifying the memory usage limit as a percentage of RAM (e.g. --memory=50%). Support --threads=0 to reset the thread limit to the default value (number of available CPU cores). Use UINT32_MAX instead of SIZE_MAX as the maximum in args.c. hardware.c was already expecting uint32_t value. Cleaned up the output of --help and --long-help.
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.
2009-02-14	Cleanups to the code that detects the amount of RAM and	Lasse Collin	1	-28/+22
	the number of CPU cores. Added support for using sysinfo() on Linux systems whose libc lacks appropriate sysconf() support (at least dietlibc). The Autoconf macros were split into separate files, and CPU core count detection was moved from hardware.c to cpucores.h. The core count isn't used for anything real for now, so a problematic part in process.c was commented out.
2009-02-07	Assume 32 MiB of RAM on unsupported operating systems like	Lasse Collin	1	-1/+1
	the comment in hardware.c already said.
2008-11-19	Renamed lzma to xz and lzmadec to xzdec. We create symlinks	Lasse Collin	1	-0/+122
	lzma, unlzma, and lzcat in "make install" for backwards compatibility with LZMA Utils 4.32.x; I'm not sure if this should be the default though.
