Hi, I'm pleased to announce the release of Squashfs tools 4.2. This release adds support for XZ compression, and filesystem support for compression specific options (needed for XZ -dict-size and -Xbcj options). There's also the usual minor extra features and bug fixes. The release can be downloaded from http://sourceforge.net/projects/squashfs. 1. Filesystem improvements: 1.1 Added XZ compression. 1.2 Added compression options support 2. Miscellaneous improvements/bug fixes. 2.1 Add missing NO_XATTR filesystem flag to indicate no-xattrs option was specified and no xattrs should be stored when appending. 2.2 Add suppport in Unquashfs -stat option for displaying NO_XATTR flag. 2.3 Remove checkdata entry from Unsquashfs -stat option if a 4.0 filesystem - checkdata is no longer supported. 2.4 Fix appending bug when appending to an empty filesystem - this would be incorrectly treated as an error. 2.5 Use glibc sys/xattr.h include rather than using attr/xattr.h which isn't present by default on some distributions. 2.6 Unsquashfs, fix block calculation error with regular files when file size is between 2^32-block_size+1 and 2^32-1. 2.7 Unsquashfs, fix sparse file writing when holes are larger than 2^31-1. 2.8 Add external CFLAGS and LDFLAGS support to Makefile, and allow build options to be specified on command line. Also don't over-write passed in CFLAGS definition.
