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.
lzma_memlimit_encoder and lzma_memlimit_decoder to
lzma_raw_encoder_memlimit and lzma_raw_decoder_memlimit. :-(
Now it is fixed. Hopefully it doesn't cause too much trouble
to those who already thought API is stable.
