XZ Utils 5.6.4 (stable)

on GitHub

5.6.4 (2025-01-23)

    * liblzma: Fix LZMA/LZMA2 encoder on big endian ARM64.

    * xz:

        - Fix --filters= and --filters1= ... --filters9= options
          parsing. They require an argument, thus "xz --filters lzma2"
          should work in addition to "xz --filters=lzma2".

        - On the man page, note in the --compress and --decompress
          options that the default behavior is to delete the input
          file unless writing to standard output. It was already
          documented in the DESCRIPTION section but new users in
          a hurry might miss it.

    * Windows (native builds, not Cygwin): Fix regressions introduced
      in XZ Utils 5.6.3 which caused non-ASCII characters to display
      incorrectly. Only builds with translation support were affected
      (--enable-nls or ENABLE_NLS=ON). The following changes affect
      builds that have translations enabled:

        - Require UCRT because MSVCRT doesn't support UTF-8
          locales and thus translations won't be readable on
          Windows 10 version 1903 and later. (MSVCRT builds
          are still possible with --disable-nls or ENABLE_NLS=OFF.)

        - Require gettext-runtime >= 0.23.1 because older versions
          don't autodetect the use of the UTF-8 code page. This
          resulted in garbled non-ASCII characters even with UCRT.

        - Partially fix alignment issues in xz --verbose --list
          with translated messages. Chinese (simplified),
          Chinese (traditional), and Korean column headings
          are misaligned still because Windows and MinGW-w64
          don't provide wcwidth() and XZ Utils doesn't include
          a replacement function either.

    * CMake: Explicitly disable unity builds. This prevents build
      failures when another project uses XZ Utils via CMake's
      FetchContent module, and that project enables unity builds.

    * Update Chinese (traditional) and Serbian translations.
