  1. Authors of XZ Utils
  2. ===================
  3. XZ Utils is developed and maintained by
  4. Lasse Collin <lasse.collin@tukaani.org>.
  5. Major parts of liblzma are based on code written by Igor Pavlov,
  6. specifically the LZMA SDK <https://7-zip.org/sdk.html>. Without
  7. this code, XZ Utils wouldn't exist.
  8. The SHA-256 implementation in liblzma is based on code written by
  9. Wei Dai in Crypto++ Library <https://www.cryptopp.com/>.
  10. A few scripts have been adapted from GNU gzip. The original
  11. versions were written by Jean-loup Gailly, Charles Levert, and
  12. Paul Eggert. Andrew Dudman helped adapting the scripts and their
  13. man pages for XZ Utils.
  14. The initial version of the threaded .xz decompressor was written
  15. by Sebastian Andrzej Siewior.
  16. The initial version of the .lz (lzip) decoder was written
  17. by Michał Górny.
  18. Architecture-specific CRC optimizations were contributed by
  19. Ilya Kurdyukov, Hans Jansen, and Chenxi Mao.
  20. Other authors:
  21. - Jonathan Nieder
  22. - Joachim Henke
  23. Special author: Jia Tan was a co-maintainer in 2022-2024. He and
  24. the team behind him inserted a backdoor (CVE-2024-3094) into
  25. XZ Utils 5.6.0 and 5.6.1 releases. He suddenly disappeared when
  26. this was discovered.
  27. Many people have contributed improvements or reported bugs.
  28. Most of these people are mentioned in the file THANKS.
  29. The translations of the command line tools and man pages have been
  30. contributed by many people via the Translation Project:
  31. - https://translationproject.org/domain/xz.html
  32. - https://translationproject.org/domain/xz-man.html
  33. The authors of the translated man pages are in the header comments
  34. of the man page files. In the source package, the authors of the
  35. translations are in po/*.po and po4a/*.po files.
  36. Third-party code whose authors aren't listed here:
  37. - GNU getopt_long() in the 'lib' directory is included for
  38. platforms that don't have a usable getopt_long().
  39. - The build system files from GNU Autoconf, GNU Automake,
  40. GNU Libtool, GNU Gettext, Autoconf Archive, and related files.
