 XZ Utils Release Notes

 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.
