XZ Utils Release Notes
|
||||
======================
|
||||
|
||||
5.1.4beta (2014-09-14)
|
||||
|
||||
* All fixes from 5.0.6
|
||||
|
||||
* liblzma: Fixed the use of presets in threaded encoder
|
||||
initialization.
|
||||
|
||||
* xz --block-list and --block-size can now be used together
|
||||
in single-threaded mode. Previously the combination only
|
||||
worked in multi-threaded mode.
|
||||
|
||||
* Added support for LZMA_IGNORE_CHECK to liblzma and made it
|
||||
available in xz as --ignore-check.
|
||||
|
||||
* liblzma speed optimizations:
|
||||
|
||||
- Initialization of a new LZMA1 or LZMA2 encoder has been
|
||||
optimized. (The speed of reinitializing an already-allocated
|
||||
encoder isn't affected.) This helps when compressing many
|
||||
small buffers with lzma_stream_buffer_encode() and other
|
||||
similar situations where an already-allocated encoder state
|
||||
isn't reused. This speed-up is visible in xz too if one
|
||||
compresses many small files one at a time instead running xz
|
||||
once and giving all files as command-line arguments.
|
||||
|
||||
- Buffer comparisons are now much faster when unaligned access
|
||||
is allowed (configured with --enable-unaligned-access). This
|
||||
speeds up encoding significantly. There is arch-specific code
|
||||
for 32-bit and 64-bit x86 (32-bit needs SSE2 for the best
|
||||
results and there's no run-time CPU detection for now).
|
||||
For other archs there is only generic code which probably
|
||||
isn't as optimal as arch-specific solutions could be.
|
||||
|
||||
- A few speed optimizations were made to the SHA-256 code.
|
||||
(Note that the builtin SHA-256 code isn't used on all
|
||||
operating systems.)
|
||||
|
||||
* liblzma can now be built with MSVC 2013 update 2 or later
|
||||
using windows/config.h.
|
||||
|
||||
* Vietnamese translation was added.
|
||||
|
||||

5.0.6 (2014-09-14)
|

* xzgrep now exits with status 0 if at least one file matched.
