Separate a few reusable components from XZ Utils specific
code. The reusable code is now in "tuklib" modules. A few
more could be separated still, e.g. bswap.h.
Fix some bugs in lzmainfo.
Fix physmem and cpucores code on OS/2. Thanks to Elbert Pol
for help.
Add OpenVMS support into physmem. Add a few #ifdefs to ease
building XZ Utils on OpenVMS. Thanks to Jouk Jansen for the
original patch.
compressing and decompressing. This should be OK now that
xz automatically scales down the compression settings if
they would exceed the memory usage limit (earlier, the limit
for compression was increased to 90 % because low limit broke
scripts that used "xz -9" on systems with low RAM).
Support spcifying the memory usage limit as a percentage
of RAM (e.g. --memory=50%).
Support --threads=0 to reset the thread limit to the default
value (number of available CPU cores). Use UINT32_MAX instead
of SIZE_MAX as the maximum in args.c. hardware.c was already
expecting uint32_t value.
Cleaned up the output of --help and --long-help.
- Don't use Windows-specific code on Windows. The old code
required at least Windows 2000. Now it should work on
Windows 98 and later, and maybe on Windows 95 too.
- Use less precision when showing estimated remaining time.
- Fix some small design issues.
the number of CPU cores. Added support for using sysinfo()
on Linux systems whose libc lacks appropriate sysconf()
support (at least dietlibc). The Autoconf macros were
split into separate files, and CPU core count detection
was moved from hardware.c to cpucores.h. The core count
isn't used for anything real for now, so a problematic
part in process.c was commented out.
Now configure.ac will get the version number directly from
src/liblzma/api/lzma/version.h. The intent is to reduce the
number of places where the version number is duplicated. In
future, support for displaying Git commit ID may be added too.
