- Authors of XZ Utils
- ===================
- XZ Utils is developed and maintained by
- Lasse Collin <lasse.collin@tukaani.org>.
- Major parts of liblzma are based on code written by Igor Pavlov,
- specifically the LZMA SDK <https://7-zip.org/sdk.html>. Without
- this code, XZ Utils wouldn't exist.
- The SHA-256 implementation in liblzma is based on code written by
- Wei Dai in Crypto++ Library <https://www.cryptopp.com/>.
- A few scripts have been adapted from GNU gzip. The original
- versions were written by Jean-loup Gailly, Charles Levert, and
- Paul Eggert. Andrew Dudman helped adapting the scripts and their
- man pages for XZ Utils.
- The initial version of the threaded .xz decompressor was written
- by Sebastian Andrzej Siewior.
- The initial version of the .lz (lzip) decoder was written
- by Michał Górny.
- Architecture-specific CRC optimizations were contributed by
- Ilya Kurdyukov, Hans Jansen, and Chenxi Mao.
- Other authors:
- - Jonathan Nieder
- - Joachim Henke
- Special author: Jia Tan was a co-maintainer in 2022-2024. He and
- the team behind him inserted a backdoor (CVE-2024-3094) into
- XZ Utils 5.6.0 and 5.6.1 releases. He suddenly disappeared when
- this was discovered.
- Many people have contributed improvements or reported bugs.
- Most of these people are mentioned in the file THANKS.
- The translations of the command line tools and man pages have been
- contributed by many people via the Translation Project:
- - https://translationproject.org/domain/xz.html
- - https://translationproject.org/domain/xz-man.html
- The authors of the translated man pages are in the header comments
- of the man page files. In the source package, the authors of the
- translations are in po/*.po and po4a/*.po files.
- Third-party code whose authors aren't listed here:
- - GNU getopt_long() in the 'lib' directory is included for
- platforms that don't have a usable getopt_long().
- - The build system files from GNU Autoconf, GNU Automake,
- GNU Libtool, GNU Gettext, Autoconf Archive, and related files.
