5.2.9 (2022-11-30)
* liblzma:
- Fixed an infinite loop in LZMA encoder initialization
if dict_size >= 2 GiB. (The encoder only supports up
to 1536 MiB.)
- Fixed two cases of invalid free() that can happen if
a tiny allocation fails in encoder re-initialization
or in lzma_filters_update(). These bugs had some
similarities with the bug fixed in 5.2.7.
- Fixed lzma_block_encoder() not allowing the use of
LZMA_SYNC_FLUSH with lzma_code() even though it was
documented to be supported. The sync-flush code in
the Block encoder was already used internally via
lzma_stream_encoder(), so this was just a missing flag
in the lzma_block_encoder() API function.
- GNU/Linux only: Don't put symbol versions into static
liblzma as it breaks things in some cases (and even if
it didn't break anything, symbol versions in static
libraries are useless anyway). The downside of the fix
is that if the configure options --with-pic or --without-pic
are used then it's not possible to build both shared and
static liblzma at the same time on GNU/Linux anymore;
with those options --disable-static or --disable-shared
must be used too.
* New email address for bug reports is <xz@tukaani.org> which
forwards messages to Lasse Collin and Jia Tan.
This is needed for host packages built in very early stages,
before host-cc (which typically uses ccache) is available.
Set CC/CXX to LOCAL_CC/CXX in this case.
