2009-05-22If xz is run as lzma, unlzma, or lzcat, simply implyLasse Collin1-11/+6
--format=lzma. This means that xz emulating lzma doesn't decompress .xz files, while before this commit it did. The new way is slightly simpler in code and especially in upcoming documentation.
2009-05-22Make the default memory usage limit 40 % of RAM for bothLasse Collin5-88/+82
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.
2009-05-21Support special value "max" where xz and xzdec accept an integer.Lasse Collin1-0/+4
Don't round the memory usage limit in xzdec --help to avoid an integer overflow and to not give wrong impression that the limit is high enough when it may not actually be.
2009-04-13Put the interesting parts of XZ Utils into the public domain.Lasse Collin23-230/+69
Some minor documentation cleanups were made at the same time.
2009-02-22Add a rough explanation of --extreme to output of --help.Lasse Collin1-0/+4
2009-02-22Fixes to progress message handling in xz:Lasse Collin3-213/+351
- Don't use Windows-specific code on Windows. The old code required at least Windows 2000. Now it should work on Windows 98 and later, and maybe on Windows 95 too. - Use less precision when showing estimated remaining time. - Fix some small design issues.
2009-02-14Fix microsecond vs. nanosecond confusion in my_time().Lasse Collin1-1/+1
2009-02-14Cleanups to the code that detects the amount of RAM andLasse Collin5-35/+37
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.
2009-02-13Changed how the version number is specified in various places.Lasse Collin1-1/+1
Now configure.ac will get the version number directly from src/liblzma/api/lzma/version.h. The intent is to reduce the number of places where the version number is duplicated. In future, support for displaying Git commit ID may be added too.
2009-02-13Fix handling of integrity check type in the xz command line tool.Lasse Collin2-1/+12
2009-02-13Improve support for DOS-like systems.Lasse Collin5-22/+61
Here DOS-like means DOS, Windows, and OS/2.
2009-02-08Make "xz --force" to write to terminal as the errorLasse Collin1-1/+1
message suggests.
2009-02-08Support both slash and backslash as path componentLasse Collin1-0/+9
separator on Windows when parsing argv[0].
2009-02-07Make it easy to choose if command line tools should beLasse Collin1-5/+3
linked statically or dynamically against liblzma. The default is still to use static liblzma, but it can now be changed by passing --enable-dynamic to configure. Thanks to Mike Frysinger for the original patch. Fixed a few minor bugs in configure.ac.
2009-02-07Assume 32 MiB of RAM on unsupported operating systems likeLasse Collin1-1/+1
the comment in hardware.c already said.
2009-02-05Various code cleanups the the xz command line tool.Lasse Collin17-246/+386
It now builds with MinGW.
2009-02-03Another utime() fix.Lasse Collin1-4/+5
2009-02-03Fix wrong filename argument for utime() and utimes().Lasse Collin1-2/+2
This doesn't affect most systems, since most systems have better functions available.
2009-01-31Add LZMA_API to liblzma API headers. It's useful at leastLasse Collin1-0/+1
on Windows. sysdefs.h no longer #includes lzma.h, so lzma.h has to be #included separately where needed.
2009-01-17Beta was supposed to be API stable but I had forgot to renameLasse Collin1-3/+3
lzma_memlimit_encoder and lzma_memlimit_decoder to lzma_raw_encoder_memlimit and lzma_raw_decoder_memlimit. :-( Now it is fixed. Hopefully it doesn't cause too much trouble to those who already thought API is stable.
2009-01-07Use pthread_sigmask() instead of sigprocmask() when pthreadsLasse Collin2-2/+3
are enabled.
2008-12-31Remove lzma_init() and other init functions from liblzma API.Lasse Collin2-7/+1
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.

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.
