It uses 16-byte-aligned reads + which can extend past the bounds of the input buffer and + inherently trigger address sanitization errors. This isn't + a bug. + + - Fixed an assertion failure that could be triggered by a large + unpadded_size argument. It was verified that there was no + other bug than the assertion failure. + + - Fixed a bug that prevented building with Windows Vista + threading when __attribute__((__constructor__)) is not + supported. + + * xz now properly handles special files such as "con" or "nul" on + Windows. Before this fix, the following wrote "foo" to the + console and deleted the input file "con_xz": + + echo foo | xz > con_xz + xz --suffix=_xz --decompress con_xz + + * Build systems: + + - Allow builds with Windows win95 threading and small mode when + __attribute__((__constructor__)) is supported. + + - Added a new line to liblzma.pc for MSYS2 (Windows): + + Cflags.private: -DLZMA_API_STATIC + + When compiling code that will link against static liblzma, + the LZMA_API_STATIC macro needs to be defined on Windows. + + - CMake specific changes: + + * Fixed a bug that allowed CLOCK_MONOTONIC to be used even + if the check for it failed. + + * Fixed a bug where configuring CMake multiple times + resulted in HAVE_CLOCK_GETTIME and HAVE_CLOCK_MONOTONIC + not being set. + + * Fixed the build with MinGW-w64-based Clang/LLVM 17. + llvm-windres now has more accurate GNU windres emulation + so the GNU windres workaround from 5.4.1 is needed with + llvm-windres version 17 too. + + * The import library on Windows is now properly named + "liblzma.dll.a" instead of "libliblzma.dll.a" + + * Fixed a bug causing the Ninja Generator to fail on + UNIX-like systems. This bug was introduced in 5.4.0. + + * Added a new option to disable CLMUL CRC64. + + * A module-definition (.def) file is now created when + building liblzma.dll with MinGW-w64. + + * The pkg-config liblzma.pc file is now installed on all + builds except when using MSVC on Windows. + + * Added large file support by default for platforms that + need it to handle files larger than 2 GiB. This includes + MinGW-w64, even 64-bit builds. + + * Small fixes and improvements to the tests. + + * Updated translations: Chinese (simplified) and Esperanto. + + 5.4.4 (2023-08-02) * liblzma and xzdec can now build against WASI SDK when threading -- cgit v1.2.3
