Changelog

xz-utils (5.0.0-2) unstable; urgency=low

  * Upload to unstable.
  * liblzma2, liblzma-dev, xz-lzma: Install release notes.
  * debian/symbols: Bump the minimal versions for lzma_index_encoder,
    lzma_index_decoder to the version in which they gained LZMA_FINISH
    support.
  * xz-utils/README.Debian: Document differences from upstream ABI.
  * debian/changelog.upstream.sh: Avoid empty changelog entries when
    multiple Debian revisions match an upstream tag.

xz-utils (5.0.0-1) experimental; urgency=low

  * Upload to experimental.
  * New stable upstream release.  Closes: #592298.
    - xz avoids SA_RESTART.  This should not have a visible effect
      because xz already blocked signals during operations that
      would be difficult to resume after interruption.
    - liblzma: The coders returned by lzma_index_encoder() and
      lzma_index_decoder() support an LZMA_FINISH action, with
      identical semantics to LZMA_RUN.
    - The printable (PDF and PS) versions of the manual are easier
      to read.
    - Many documentation and build system cleanups.
  * liblzma: Back out upstream ABI tweaks.
  * liblzma/README.Debian: Document ABI differences from upstream.
  * Copy sample code not included in the release tarball from
    the development upstream repository to debian/examples.
  * debian/rules clean: Remove some files not included in the
    release tarball.
  * copyright: List new INSTALL.generic license.
  * debian/rules clean: Take new build-aux scripts into account.
  * debian/rules:  Adapt for upstream build system changes.
    Closes: #540443.
  * xz-utils, xzdec: Install release notes.

xz-utils (4.999.9beta+20100927-1) experimental; urgency=low

  * New snapshot, taken from upstream commit cec0ddc.
    - liblzma: The meaning of --extreme has been tweaked to address
      cases in which it made the compression ratio worse.  Some files
      might benefit slightly less from --extreme.
    - xz: Table columns are not misaligned any more in messages with
      multi-byte characters (e.g., file sizes with LANG=fi_FI.UTF-8).
    - xz: New German and Italian translations.
    - Various documentation, message, and translation updates.
  * Update copyright file.
  * debian/rules get-orig-source: Update upstream Git URL.
  * xz-utils/README.Debian: Advertise XZ_DEFAULTS.

xz-utils (4.999.9beta+20100903-1) experimental; urgency=low

  * New snapshot, taken from upstream commit 373ee26.
    - liblzma: The settings for compression levels 0 through 5
      (used by xz -0/.../-5) have been tweaked.  This affects the
      speed, compression ratio, and memory usage at compression and
      decompression time.
    - Does not search so hard for a match when a low "nice match
      length" setting is specified without a depth.
    - xz: The -1/.../-9 preset options override any previously
      specified filters, rather than vice versa.  To mix presets
      with filter options, use the --lzma2=preset=n option.
    - xz: Warns about --memlimit-compress settings that result in
      compression settings changing even if no explicit -1/.../-9,
      --lzma1, or --lzma2 option was used.
    - "xz -v -v --compress" now prints an estimate of the memory
      required to decompress a file.
  * debian/copyright: Update upstream Git URL.
  * debian/changelog.upstream.sh: Permit terser changelog lines.
  * Standards-Version: 3.9.1 (checked).
