Version 0.5.3 - 13 Apr 2010, by Per Øyvind Karlsen - update compression option names in API documentation. - fix segfault with LZMACompressor (#521975). - fix compress() & LZMACompressor.flush() finishing when there's still data left. (#521975 & #537199) - Synchronize code with bz2module.c from python upstream: o Issue #7205: Fix a possible deadlock when using a LZMAFile object from several threads at once. Version 0.5.2 - 26 Feb 2009, by Per Øyvind Karlsen - Synchronize code with bz2module.c from python upstream: o fixes various minor issues and bugs. o support the context manager protocol (adds __enter__() & __enter__()). o use Py_buffer. o make code more in sync with bz2module.c for easier maintenance etc.. Version 0.5.1 - 26 Jan 2009, by Per Øyvind Karlsen - Fix huge memleaks in LZMADecompress() and also fix broken flush() and reset() functions. - Fix various minor memleaks and bugs. - This will be the last version supporting python versions older than 2.6. Version 0.5.0 - 25 Jan 2009, by Per Øyvind Karlsen - Add support for xz format (is now default format, xz/liblzma >= 4.999.8beta required). - Add support for extreme preset. - Add support for setting decoder memlimit. - Lots of fixes and cleanups. - Compression options are now passed as dictionary with keywords rather than as keyword arguments directly. Version 0.4.1 - 12 Nov 2008, by Per Øyvind Karlsen - Migrate code to use new and final(?) liblzma api (lzma_utils >= 4.999.6). Version 0.4.0 - 11 Sep 2008, by Per Øyvind Karlsen - Add liblzma_file.[ch] implementing lzma_FILE*. (code much based on RPM's lzdio.c) - renamed functions, classes, variables from liblzma* to lzma*. - Implement LZMAFile object. (as with much of the existing code, most of the code is derived from Gustavo Niemeyer's bz2.c and adapted to lzma) - Repository has now been migrated from git to bzr and is now hosted and publically available at http://launchpad.net/pyliblzma. Version 0.3.4 - 10 Sep 2008, by Per Øyvind Karlsen - Add portability fixes for BSD. (from Anders F. Björklund) Version 0.3.3 - 10 Sep 2008, by Per Øyvind Karlsen - Rename python module name from 'liblzma' to 'lzma' as giving the module same name as the library would result in problems if the library were to be found in $PWD or $PYTHONPATH. Rationale behind module being named PylibLZMA and not PyLZMA is due to a different PyLZMA already exists, it's python module name is 'pylzma', so 'lzma' is available. :) - fix code formatting that was quite messed up due to mixed usage of tab expansion and various tab length. - clean out compiler flag craziness. Version 0.3.2 - 28 May 2008, by Per Øyvind Karlsen - Fix build with pre-C99. - Fix url. - Add some background to README. Version 0.3.1 - 23 May 2008, by Per Øyvind Karlsen - Fix so that destructor actually gets called when (de)compressor objects are no longer used. - Add format option. - Improve setup.py so that proper source tarball can be generated with sdist. - Various minor fixes.
