* xz --force now (de)compresses files that have setuid, setgid,
or sticky bit set and files that have multiple hard links.
The man page had it documented this way already, but the code
had a bug.
* gzip and bzip2 support in xzdiff was fixed.
- remove USE_AUTOTOOLS
As we want to use xz for extraction of port's distfiles,
it cannot depend on autoconf.

This is the last beta release before XZ Utils 5.0.0. No big changes
are planned before the first stable release.
XZ Utils is the official successor to LZMA Utils.
Feature safe: yes
LZMA Utils is an attempt to provide LZMA compression to POSIX-like
systems. The idea is to have a gzip-like command line tool and
zlib-like library, which would make it easy to adapt the new
compression technology to existing applications.
