A Program for Compressing Files
The xz command is a very powerful program for compressing files.
* Average compression ratio of LZMA is about 30% better than that of
gzip, and 15% better than that of bzip2.
* Decompression speed is only little slower than that of gzip, being
two to five times faster than bzip2.
* In fast mode, compresses faster than bzip2 with a comparable
compression ratio.
* Achieving the best compression ratios takes four to even twelve
times longer than with bzip2. However. this doesn't affect
decompressing speed.
* Very similar command line interface to what gzip and bzip2 have.
This package is using a static liblzma to allow use on older SLES releases.

(revision 1)
- Install xznew with correct permissions (boo#970842)
- Do not split out lang_package conditional, used in sle10 out of support
- fix conversion: spell the missed parts correctly
- add xznew{,.1}, converted from bznew
- xz 5.2.2:
* Omitted the use of pipe2() even if it is available to avoid
portability issues with some old Linux and glibc combinations
* Updated German translation
* Documented that threaded decompression is not implemented yet
- xz 5.2.1:
* Fixed a compression-ratio regression in fast mode of LZMA1 and
LZMA2.
- Avoid running configure twice and using -fprofile-generate or
-fprofile-use for compiling configure tests when profiling.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
- xz 5.2.0:
* liblzma:
- Added support for multi-threaded compression
- Made the uses of lzma_allocator const correct.
- Added lzma_block_uncomp_encode() to create uncompressed
.xz Blocks using LZMA2 uncompressed chunks.
- Added support for LZMA_IGNORE_CHECK.
- A few speed optimizations were made.
- Added support for symbol versioning. It is enabled by default
