NOTE: 5.2.13, 5.4.7, and 5.6.2 have a build system issue that prevents building of shared libraries on some systems like mips64. See the patch itself for details. The same patch applies to 5.2.13, 5.4.7, and 5.6.2.
5.2.13 (2024-05-29)
* liblzma:
- lzma_index_append(): Fix 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.
- lzma_index_decoder() and lzma_index_buffer_decode(): Fix
a missing output pointer initialization (*i = NULL) if the
functions are called with invalid arguments. The API docs
say that such an initialization is always done. In practice
this matters very little because the problem can only occur
if the calling application has a bug and these functions
return LZMA_PROG_ERROR.
- Fix C standard conformance with function pointer types.
This newly showed up with Clang 17 with -fsanitize=undefined.
There are no bug reports about this.
- Fix building with NVIDIA HPC SDK.
- Fix building with Windows Vista threads and --enable-small.
(CMake build doesn't support ENABLE_SMALL in XZ Utils 5.2.x.)
* xz:
- Fix a C standard conformance issue in --block-list parsing
(arithmetic on a null pointer).
- Fix a warning from GNU groff when processing the man page:
"warning: cannot select font 'CW'"
- Windows: Handle special files such as "con" or "nul". Earlier
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
- Windows: Fix an issue that prevented reading from or writing
to non-terminal character devices like NUL.
* xzless:
- With "less" version 451 and later, use "||-" instead of "|-"
in the environment variable LESSOPEN. This way compressed
files that contain no uncompressed data are shown correctly
as empty.
- With "less" version 632 and later, use --show-preproc-errors
to make "less" show a warning on decompression errors.
* Build systems:
- Add 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.
- Autotools (configure):
* Symbol versioning variant can now be overridden with
--enable-symbol-versions. Documentation in INSTALL was
updated to match.
- CMake:
* Fix a bug that prevented other projects from including
liblzma multiple times using find_package().
* Fix a bug where configuring CMake multiple times resulted
in HAVE_CLOCK_GETTIME and HAVE_CLOCK_MONOTONIC not being
defined.
* Fix 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"
* Add 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.
* Linux on MicroBlaze is handled specially now. This
matches the changes made to the Autotools-based build
in XZ Utils 5.4.2 and 5.2.11.
* Disable symbol versioning on non-glibc Linux to match
what the Autotools build does. For example, symbol
versioning isn't enabled with musl.
* Symbol versioning variant can now be overridden by
setting SYMBOL_VERSIONING to "OFF", "generic", or
"linux".
* Documentation:
- Clarify the description of --disable-assembler in INSTALL.
The option only affects 32-bit x86 assembly usage.
- Don't install the TODO file as part of the documentation.
The file is out of date.
- Update home page URLs back to their old locations on
tukaani.org.
- Update maintainer info.
