XZ Utils Release Notes 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.
