(Reported by Daniel Baumann). - -The commands needed to extract files from a tar.lz archive have been -documented in the output of '--help' and in the man page. - -Xlunzip now compiles on DOS with DJGPP. (Patch from Robert Riebisch). - -The configure script now accepts appending options to CFLAGS using the -syntax 'CFLAGS+=OPTIONS'. - -9 new test files have been added to the testsuite. +Changes in version 0.6: + +Option '-o, --output' now behaves like '-c, --stdout', but sending the +output unconditionally to a file instead of to standard output. See the new +description of '-o' in the manual. This change is not backwards compatible. +Therefore commands like: + xlunzip -d -o foo - bar.lz < foo.lz +must now be split into: + xlunzip -d -o foo - < foo.lz + xlunzip -d bar.lz +or rewritten as: + xlunzip -d - bar.lz < foo.lz > foo + +In-place decompression of concatenated files should now work for any +combination of files as long as they fit in memory and their total +decompressed size is smaller than LONG_MAX minus a small extra space. + +The README file now includes an analysis of the amount of memory required +for in-place decompression. |
