XZ Utils Release Notes
======================

5.4.5 (2023-11-31)

* liblzma:

- Use __attribute__((__no_sanitize_address__)) to avoid address
sanitization with CRC64 CLMUL. 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
