User visible changes for LZO -- a real-time data compression library
|
|
============================================================================
|
|
|
|
Changes in 2.09 (04 Feb 2015)
|
|
* Work around gcc bug #64516 that could affect architectures like
|
|
armv4, armv5 and sparc.
|
|
|
|
Changes in 2.08 (29 Jun 2014)
|
|
* Updated the Autoconf scripts to fix some reported build problems.
|
|
* Added CMake build support.
|
|
* Fixed lzo_init() on big-endian architectures like Sparc.
|
|
|
|
Changes in 2.07 (25 Jun 2014)
|
|
* Fixed a potential integer overflow condition in the "safe" decompressor
|
|
variants which could result in a possible buffer overrun when
|
|
processing maliciously crafted compressed input data.
|
|
|
|
Fortunately this issue only affects 32-bit systems and also can only happen
|
|
if you use uncommonly huge buffer sizes where you have to decompress more
|
|
than 16 MiB (> 2^24 bytes) untrusted compressed bytes within a single
|
|
function call, so the practical implications are limited.
|
|
|
|
POTENTIAL SECURITY ISSUE. CVE-2014-4607.
|
|
|
|
* Removed support for ancient configurations like 16-bit "huge" pointers -
|
|
LZO now requires a flat 32-bit or 64-bit memory model.
|
|
* Assorted cleanups.
|
|
|
|
Changes in 2.06 (12 Aug 2011)
|
|
* Some minor optimizations for big-endian architectures.
|
|
* Fixed overly strict malloc() misalignment check in examples.
|
|
|
|
Changes in 2.05 (23 Apr 2011)
|
|
* Converted the configure system to non-recursive Automake.
|
|
* Applied some overdue speed optimizations for modern x86/x64 architectures
|
|
and current compilers like gcc 4.6 and MSVC 2010.
|
|
|
|
Changes in 2.04 (31 Oct 2010)
|
|
* Fixed a gcc-4.5 aliasing issue in lzo_init().
|
|
* Updated the configure system.
|
|
* Assorted cleanups.
|
|
|
|
Changes in 2.03 (30 Apr 2008)
|
|
* Updated the ELF assembler sources to mark the stack as non-executable.
|
|
* Fixed a HP-UX 11 build issue with Itanium in ILP32 mode.
|
|
* Updated the configure system.
|
|
|
|
Changes in 2.02 (17 Oct 2005)
|
|
* Updated the build and Autoconf scripts to fix some reported
|
|
compilation problems.
|
|
|
|
Changes in 2.01 (27 Jun 2005)
|
|
* Changed the configure system to install the LZO library under the
|
|
name "liblzo2" so that parallel installation with LZO v1 is possible.
|
|
* Improved auto-configuration in miniLZO for some embedded targets like
|
|
Blackfin and H8/300 processors.
|
|
|
|
Changes in 2.00 (30 May 2005)
|
|
|
|
[Library interface changes]
|
|
* The 'lzo_uint' typedef has been changed to match 'size_t', which means
|
|
it now is 64 bits on most 64-bit architectures. 32-bit machines
|
|
are not affected by this change.
|
|
* The formula for maximum expansion of incompressible data has changed.
|
|
See doc/LZO.FAQ. This is needed for some upcoming speed improvements,
|
|
and also for compatibility with our commercial LZO Professional product.
|
|
* The progress indicator callback interface has been revamped.
|
|
* All public header files now get installed into a "lzo" subdirectory, so
|
|
your applications should use #include <lzo/lzoXXX.h>.
|
|
* A number of (internal) macros have been renamed. See LZO_CFG_COMPAT
|
|
in <lzo/lzoconf.h> if your code depends on these.
|
|
|
|
[Speed]
|
|
* Small overall speedup by exploiting features like branch prediction
|
|
hints and explicit inline control present in modern C/C++ compilers.
|
|
* Significant speedup for 64-bit architectures like AMD64.
|
|
|
|
[Portability]
|
|
* LZO now fully supports the LLP64 programming model.
|
|
* LZO now fully supports the ILP64 and SILP64 programming models which
|
|
are used on some supercomputing architectures.
|
|
* Full Win64 support for AMD64 (aka x64) and IA64 (Itanium).
|
|
* Full 16-bit support for ancient DOS 286 protected mode, OS/2 1.x
|
|
and Windows 3.x.
|
|
* The LZO library now compiles and works on completely freestanding or
|
|
embedded systems as long as you have <limits.h> and <stddef.h> header
|
|
files. See the B/generic/build_freestanding.sh build script.
|
|
|
|
[Misc]
|
|
* The i386 assembler versions of the decompressors are now automatically
|
|
built and installed. See also asm/i386/00README.TXT.
|
|
* Added include file <lzo/lzo_asm.h> that provides prototypes for all
|
|
assembler functions.
|
|
* Under MacOS X, the configure script now will use the '-no-cpp-precomp'
|
|
compiler option in order to work around bugs in some versions of
|
|
Apple's native "smart" preprocessor.
|
|
* Worked around a preprocessor bug that is present in all compilers which
|
|
are based on the lcc compiler kit.
|
|
* Added simple B/generic/build.sh build script family.
|
|
* Added lots of new build scripts for various DOS/Windows compilers.
|
|
|
|
[Upgrade instructions from LZO v1 to LZO v2]
|
|
* On 64-bit architectures, revisit all uses of lzo_uint.
|
|
* Adapt for the maximum expansion change of incompressible data.
|
|
* If you use the progress callback then adapt for the new interface.
|
|
* Use #include <lzo/lzoXXX.h> or adjust your include path.
|
|
* Check your code for use of deprecated macros. Add a
|
|
#define LZO_CFG_COMPAT if necessary.
|
|
* Other than that LZO v2 should be fully source-compatible with LZO v1.
|
|
Of course, the compressed data is fully compatible as well.
|
|
* Re-compile and re-link your application.
|
|
* Enjoy the improvements!
