Changes in version 1.16:
Repairing of single-byte errors is now about 10 times faster depending
on file size and position of error.
Copying of file dates, permissions, and ownership now behaves like "cp -p".
(If the user ID or the group ID can't be duplicated, the file permission
bits S_ISUID and S_ISGID are cleared).
Some minor improvements have been made.
"lziprecover.texinfo" has been renamed to "lziprecover.texi".
The license has been changed to GPL version 2 or later.

(upstream)
- Update 0.9 to 1.3
----------
2014-08-30 Antonio Diaz Diaz <antonio@gnu.org>
* Version 1.3 released.
* testsuite/check.sh: Fixed two values of expected exit status.
* zutils.texi: Documented that '--format' does not verify format.
* Added two missing #includes.
* License changed to GPL version 2 or later.
2014-02-01 Antonio Diaz Diaz <antonio@gnu.org>
* Version 1.2 released.
* Added new utility; zupdate.
* Removed zutils executable. Utils are now independent executables.
* zgrep.cc: Fixed the exit status returned on error.
* zutils.texinfo: Renamed to zutils.texi.
2013-08-02 Antonio Diaz Diaz <antonio@gnu.org>
* Version 1.1 released.
* Added options '--bz2', '--gz', '--lz' and '--xz' to all utilities.
* Added runtime configuration file 'zutilsrc'.
* New function 'good_status' checks exit status of all children.
* Fixed all uses of decompressed/uncompressed in the documentation.
2013-05-31 Antonio Diaz Diaz <antonio@gnu.org>
* Version 1.0 released.
* Added new option '--format' to all utilities.
* main.cc (main): Make 'grep_show_name' tri-state so that file
name is no prefixed to output by default when searching one
file and '--recursive' has not been selected.
* Zgrep: Fixed output of option '-L' (it behaved like '-l').
* zcmp.cc: Fixed deadlock when '-n' option is used.
* zdiff.cc (set_data_feeder): Call compressor with option "-q"
only if verbosity < 0.
* zutils.cc (set_data_feeder): Likewise.
* Changed quote characters in messages as advised by GNU Standards.
* configure: Options now accept a separate argument.
* configure: 'datadir' renamed to 'datarootdir'.
* Makefile.in: Added new target 'install-bin'.
* Use 'setmode' instead of '_setmode' on Windows and OS/2.
* zcat.cc (Line_number): Fixed a portability issue with Solaris 9.
* INSTALL: Document installing zutils along with GNU gzip.
* liblzma:
- Added support for multi-threaded compression. See the
lzma_mt structure, lzma_stream_encoder_mt(), and
lzma_stream_encoder_mt_memusage() in <lzma/container.h>,
lzma_get_progress() in <lzma/base.h>, and lzma_cputhreads()
in <lzma/hardware.h> for details.
- Made the uses of lzma_allocator const correct.
- Added lzma_block_uncomp_encode() to create uncompressed
.xz Blocks using LZMA2 uncompressed chunks.
- Added support for LZMA_IGNORE_CHECK.
- A few speed optimizations were made.
- Added support for symbol versioning. It is enabled by default
on GNU/Linux, other GNU-based systems, and FreeBSD.
- liblzma (not the whole XZ Utils) should now be buildable
with MSVC 2013 update 2 or later using windows/config.h.
* xz:
- Fixed a race condition in the signal handling. It was
possible that e.g. the first SIGINT didn't make xz exit
if reading or writing blocked and one had bad luck. The fix
is non-trivial, so as of writing it is unknown if it will be
backported to the v5.0 branch.
- Multi-threaded decompression can be enabled with the
--threads (-T) option.
- New command line options in xz: --single-stream,
--block-size=SIZE, --block-list=SIZES,
--flush-timeout=TIMEOUT, and --ignore-check.
- xz -lvv now shows the minimum xz version that is required to
decompress the file. Currently it is 5.0.0 for all supported
.xz files except files with empty LZMA2 streams require 5.0.2.
* xzdiff and xzgrep now support .lzo files if lzop is installed.
The .tzo suffix is also recognized as a shorthand for .tar.lzo.

Changes in version 1.16:
Compression ratio of option -9 has been slightly increased.
Compression time has been reduced by 4%.
"lzip -0" is now comparable in compression speed and ratio to "gzip -6".
Copying of file dates, permissions, and ownership now behaves like "cp -p".
(If the user ID or the group ID can't be duplicated, the file permission
bits S_ISUID and S_ISGID are cleared).
Some minor improvements have been made.

* Fix regressions introduced in 5.0.6:
- Fix building with non-GNU make.
- Fix invalid Libs.private value in liblzma.pc which broke
static linking against liblzma if the linker flags were
taken from pkg-config.
- Fix handling of MS-DOS reserved names. Besides handling names like
"con", we also need to handle "con.foo.txt".
- Auto-detect and handle "bad Mac" archives.
- Added "kNuValIgnoreLZW2Len" flag, which enables NuLib2 to handle
archives created by an unknown but badly broken program.
- Switched from GPL to BSD license.
* output file names may be encoded in the uuencoded file.
By specifying '--encode' on the command line, the output
file name will be base64 encoded in the uuencode file.
Use official man page, now that there is one.
version 1.28, 2014-07-28
* New checkpoint action: totals
The --checkpoint-action=totals option instructs tar to output the
total number of bytes transferred at each checkpoint.
* Extended checkpoint format specification.
New conversion specifiers are implemented. Some of them take
optional arguments, supplied in curly braces between the percent
sign and the specifier letter.
%d - Number of seconds since tar started.
%{r,w,d}T - I/O totals; optional arguments supply prefixes
to be used before number of bytes read, written and
deleted, correspondingly.
%{FMT}t - Current local time using FMT as strftime(3) format.
If {FMT} is omitted, use %c.
%{N}* - Pad output with spaces to the Nth column, or to the
current screen width, if {N} is not given.
%c - A shortcut for "%{%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S}t: %ds, %{read,wrote}T%*\r"
* New option --one-top-level
The option --one-top-level tells tar to extract all files into a
subdirectory named by the base name of the archive (minus standard
compression suffixes recognizable by --auto-compress). When used with
an argument, as in --one-top-level=DIR, the files are extracted into the
supplied DIRectory. This ensures that no archive members are
extracted outside of the specified directory, even if the archive is
crafted so as to put them elsewhere.
* New option --sort
The --sort=ORDER option instructs tar to sort directory entries
according to ORDER. It takes effect when creating archives.
Available ORDERs are: none (the default), name and inode. The
latter may be absent, if the underlying system does not provide
the necessary information.
Using --sort=name ensures the member ordering in the created archive
is uniform and reproducible. Using --sort=inode reduces the number
of disk seeks made when creating the archive and thus can considerably
speed up archivation.
* New exclusion options
--exclude-ignore=FILE Before dumping a directory check if it
contains FILE, and if so read exclude
patterns for this directory from FILE.
--exclude-ignore-recursive=FILE
Same as above, but the exclusion patterns
read from FILE remain in effect for any
subdirectory, recursively.
--exclude-vcs-ignores Read exclude tags from VCS ignore files,
where such files exist. Supported VCS's
are: CVS, Git, Bazaar, Mercurial.
* Tar refuses to read input from and write output to a tty device.
* Manpages
This release includes official tar(1) and rmt(8) manpages.
Distribution maintainers are kindly asked to use these instead of the
home-made pages they have been providing so far.
packaged for wip by pho.
This package provides a pure interface for compressing and decompressing
streams of data represented as lazy ByteStrings. It uses the zlib C library
so it has high performance. It supports the "zlib", "gzip" and "raw"
compression formats.
It provides a convenient high level API suitable for most tasks and for the
few cases where more control is needed it provides access to the full zlib
feature set.
