2009-11-15	Add lzma_physmem().	Lasse Collin	1	-4/+2
	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.
2009-09-19	Various changes.	Lasse Collin	1	-2/+11
	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.
2009-07-06	Use sed instead of $(SED) so that we don't need to	Lasse Collin	1	-3/+3
	use AC_PROG_SED. We don't do anything fancy with sed, so this should work OK. libtool 2.2 sets SED but 1.5 doesn't, so $(SED) happened to work when using libtool 2.2.
2009-06-30	Build system fixes	Lasse Collin	1	-1/+19
	Don't use libtool convenience libraries to avoid recently discovered long-standing subtle but somewhat severe bugs in libtool (at least 1.5.22 and 2.2.6 are affected). It was found when porting XZ Utils to Windows <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/libtool/2009-06/msg00070.html> but the problem is significant also e.g. on GNU/Linux. Unless --disable-shared is passed to configure, static library built from a set of convenience libraries will contain PIC objects. That is, while libtool builds non-PIC objects too, only PIC objects will be used from the convenience libraries. On 32-bit x86 (tested on mobile XP2400+), using PIC instead of non-PIC makes the decompressor 10 % slower with the default CFLAGS. So while xz was linked against static liblzma by default, it got the slower PIC objects unless --disable-shared was used. I tend develop and benchmark with --disable-shared due to faster build time, so I hadn't noticed the problem in benchmarks earlier. This commit also adds support for building Windows resources into liblzma and executables.
2009-06-27	Create correct symlinks even when	Lasse Collin	1	-3/+6
	--program-{prefix,suffix,transform} is passed to configure.
2009-06-26	Fix @variables@ to $(variables) in Makefile.am files.	Lasse Collin	1	-9/+10
	Fix the ordering of libgnu.a and LTLIBINTL on the linker command line and added missing LTLIBINTL to tests/Makefile.am.
2009-06-04	Added xzdec man page.	Lasse Collin	1	-0/+11

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.
2009-02-07	Make it easy to choose if command line tools should be	Lasse Collin	1	-2/+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.
2008-11-20	Build xzdec and lzmadec from xzdec.c. xzdec supports only .xz	Lasse Collin	1	-1/+6
	files and lzmadec only .lzma files.
2008-11-19	Renamed lzma to xz and lzmadec to xzdec. We create symlinks	Lasse Collin	1	-0/+29
	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.
