+HISTORY of the LZMA SDK
+-----------------------
+
+23.01 2023-06-20
+-------------------------
+- 7-Zip now can use new ARM64 filter for compression to 7z and xz archives.
+ ARM64 filter can increase compression ratio for data containing executable
+ files compiled for ARM64 (AArch64) architecture.
+ Also 7-Zip now parses executable files (that have exe and dll filename extensions)
+ before compressing, and it selects appropriate filter for each parsed file:
+ - BCJ or BCJ2 filter for x86 executable files,
+ - ARM64 filter for ARM64 executable files.
+ Previous versions by default used x86 filter BCJ or BCJ2 for all exe/dll files.
+- Default section size for BCJ2 filter was changed from 64 MiB to 240 MiB.
+ It can increase compression ratio for executable files larger than 64 MiB.
+- Some optimizations in filters code: BCJ, BCJ2, Swap* and opthers.
+- If 7-Zip uses BCJ2 filter for big datasets compressing, it can use additional temp
+ files in system's TEMP folder. 7-Zip uses temp file for additional compressed
+ data stream, if size of such compressed stream is larger than predefined limit:
+ 16 MiB in 32-bit version, 4 GiB in 64-bit version.
+- When new 7-Zip creates multivolume archive, 7-Zip keeps in open state
+ only volumes that still can be changed. Previous versions kept all volumes
+ in open state until the end of the archive creation.
+- 7-Zip for Linux and macOS now can reduce the number of simultaneously open files,
+ when 7-Zip opens, extracts or creates multivolume archive. It allows to avoid
+ the failures for cases with big number of volumes, bacause there is a limitation
+ for number of open files allowed for a single program in Linux and macOS.
+- Some bugs were fixed.
+- Source code changes:
+- All external macros for compiling C/C++ code of 7-Zip now have Z7_ prefix.
+- 7-Zip COM interfaces now use new macros that allow to declare and implement COM interface.
+- The code has been modified to compile with the maximum diagnostic warning level:
+ -Wall in MSVC and -Weverything in CLANG.
+ And some warning types are disabled in 2 files:
+ - C/Compiler.h for C/C++ code warnings.
+ - CPP/Common/Common.h for C++ code warnings.
+- Linux/macOS versions of 7-Zip: IUnknown interface in new code doesn't use
+ virtual destructor that was used in previous 7-Zip and p7zip:
+ // virtual ~IUnknown() {}
+ So 7-Zip's dynamically linked shared libraries (codecs) are not compatible
+ between new 7-Zip for Linux/macOS and old 7-Zip (and p7zip).
+
+
+21.07 2021-12-26
+-------------------------
+- New switches: -spm and -im!{file_path} to exclude directories from processing
+ for specified paths that don't contain path separator character at the end of path.
+- The sorting order of files in archives was slightly changed to be more consistent
+ for cases where the name of some directory is the same as the prefix part of the name
+ of another directory or file.
+
+
+21.06 2021-11-24
+-------------------------
+- Bug in LZMA encoder in file LzmaEnc.c was fixed:
+ LzmaEnc_MemEncode(), LzmaEncode() and LzmaCompress() could work incorrectly,
+ if size value for output buffer is smaller than size required for all compressed data.
+ LzmaEnc_Encode() could work incorrectly,
+ if callback ISeqOutStream::Write() doesn't write all compressed data.
+ NCompress::NLzma::CEncoder::Code() could work incorrectly,
+ if callback ISequentialOutStream::Write() returns error code.
+- Bug in versions 21.00-21.05 was fixed:
+ 7-Zip didn't set attributes of directories during archive extracting.
+
+
+21.04 beta 2021-11-02
+-------------------------
+- 7-Zip now reduces the number of working CPU threads for compression,
+ if RAM size is not enough for compression with big LZMA2 dictionary.
+- 7-Zip now can create and check "file.sha256" text files that contain the list
+ of file names and SHA-256 checksums in format compatible with sha256sum program.
+
+
+21.03 beta 2021-07-20
+-------------------------
+- The maximum dictionary size for LZMA/LZMA2 compressing was increased to 4 GB (3840 MiB).
+- Minor speed optimizations in LZMA/LZMA2 compressing.
+
+
+21.02 alpha 2021-05-06
+-------------------------
+- The command line version of 7-Zip for macOS was released.
+- The speed for LZMA and LZMA2 decompression in arm64 versions for macOS and Linux
+ was increased by 20%-60%.
+
+
+21.01 alpha 2021-03-09
+-------------------------
+- The command line version of 7-Zip for Linux was released.
+- The improvements for speed of ARM64 version using hardware CPU instructions
+ for AES, CRC-32, SHA-1 and SHA-256.
+- Some bugs were fixed.
+
+
+20.02 alpha 2020-08-08
+-------------------------
+- The default number of LZMA2 chunks per solid block in 7z archive was increased to 64.
+ It allows to increase the compression speed for big 7z archives, if there is a big number
+ of CPU cores and threads.
+- The speed of PPMd compressing/decompressing was increased for 7z archives.
+- The new -ssp switch. If the switch -ssp is specified, 7-Zip doesn't allow the system
+ to modify "Last Access Time" property of source files for archiving and hashing operations.
+- Some bugs were fixed.
+
+
+20.00 alpha 2020-02-06
+-------------------------
+- 7-Zip now supports new optional match finders for LZMA/LZMA2 compression: bt5 and hc5,
+ that can work faster than bt4 and hc4 match finders for the data with big redundancy.
+- The compression ratio was improved for Fast and Fastest compression levels with the
+ following default settings:
+ - Fastest level (-mx1) : hc5 match finder with 256 KB dictionary.
+ - Fast level (-mx3) : hc5 match finder with 4 MB dictionary.
+- Minor speed optimizations in multithreaded LZMA/LZMA2 compression for Normal/Maximum/Ultra
+ compression levels.
+
+
+19.00 2019-02-21
+-------------------------
+- Encryption strength for 7z archives was increased:

+- The bug in 7-Zip 18.02-18.05 was fixed:
+ There was memory leak in multithreading xz decoder - XzDecMt_Decode(),
+ if xz stream contains only one block.
+- The changes for MSVS compiler makefiles:
+ - the makefiles now use "PLATFORM" macroname with values (x64, x86, arm64)
+ instead of "CPU" macroname with values (AMD64, ARM64).
+ - the makefiles by default now use static version of the run-time library.
+
+
+18.05 2018-04-30
+-------------------------
+- The speed for LZMA/LZMA2 compressing was increased
+ by 8% for fastest/fast compression levels and
+ by 3% for normal/maximum compression levels.
+- Previous versions of 7-Zip could work incorrectly in "Large memory pages" mode in
+ Windows 10 because of some BUG with "Large Pages" in Windows 10.
+ Now 7-Zip doesn't use "Large Pages" on Windows 10 up to revision 1709 (16299).
+- The BUG was fixed in Lzma2Enc.c
+ Lzma2Enc_Encode2() function worked incorretly,
+ if (inStream == NULL) and the number of block threads is more than 1.
+
+
+18.03 beta 2018-03-04
+-------------------------
+- Asm\x86\LzmaDecOpt.asm: new optimized LZMA decoder written in asm
+ for x64 with about 30% higher speed than main version of LZMA decoder written in C.
+- The speed for single-thread LZMA/LZMA2 decoder written in C was increased by 3%.
+- 7-Zip now can use multi-threading for 7z/LZMA2 decoding,
+ if there are multiple independent data chunks in LZMA2 stream.
+- 7-Zip now can use multi-threading for xz decoding,
+ if there are multiple blocks in xz stream.
+
+
+18.01 2019-01-28

+
+
+17.01 beta 2017-08-28
+-------------------------
+- Minor speed optimization for LZMA2 (xz and 7z) multi-threading compression.
+ 7-Zip now uses additional memory buffers for multi-block LZMA2 compression.
+ CPU utilization was slightly improved.
+- 7-zip now creates multi-block xz archives by default. Block size can be
+ specified with -ms[Size]{m|g} switch.
+- xz decoder now can unpack random block from multi-block xz archives.
+- 7-Zip command line: @listfile now doesn't work after -- switch.

+ that use LZMA2 compression method.
+ The probability to get that mistaken decoding error report was about
+ one error per 16384 solid blocks for solid blocks larger than 16 KB (compressed size).

+ If input data size is larger than (4 GiB - dictionary_size),
+ the following code worked incorrectly:
+ - LZMA : LzmaEnc_MemEncode(), LzmaEncode() : LZMA encoding functions
+ for compressing from memory to memory.
+ That BUG is not related to LZMA encoder version that works via streams.
+ - LZMA2 : multi-threaded version of LZMA2 encoder worked incorrectly, if

+ operation, if -w{Path} switch was not specified.
+ The fixed 7-Zip creates temporary archive in folder that contains updated archive.
+- The BUG in 9.33-9.35 was fixed:
+ 7-Zip silently ignored file reading errors during 7z or gz archive creation,
+ and the created archive contained only part of file that was read before error.
+ The fixed 7-Zip stops archive creation and it reports about error.
