Yes. ABI and API: The low-level API for examining a compressed file’s Index information has been improved. See the 4.999.9beta+20100117-1 changelog entry for details. The soname was bumped, but aside from that, packages in Debian were unaffected by this change: KDE, python-lzma, etc do not use any of the affected functions. Features: * The semantics of the --force option have changed. xz will no longer compress or decompress special files in place, or read compressed data from a terminal or write it to a terminal. * New Czech translation (packaged in 4.999.9beta+20100212-4). * xz produces sparse files by default when decompressing. The new --no-sparse option disables this feature. * New --list option to display information about a compressed file (e.g., its uncompressed size). Packaging details: * The xzdec and lzmadec commands have been moved to a separate xzdec package. (They are mostly redundant next to unxz and unlzma.) * liblzma-dev no longer ships a .la file. * The xz binary is dynamically linked now. > Has 4.999.9beta+20100212-3 been tested with .lzma packages and > KDE? .lzma packages: yes. KDE: I assume so, since it has been in unstable for a week now, but I have not tried myself.
