Python 3.3 onwards includes module lzma in the standard library,
providing support for working with LZMA and XZ compressed files via the
XZ Utils C library (XZ Utils is in a sense LZMA v2).

Blosc is a high performance compressor optimized for binary data. It has been
designed to transmit data to the processor cache faster than the traditional,
non-compressed, direct memory fetch approach via a memcpy() OS call. Blosc is
meant not only to reduce the size of large datasets on-disk or in-memory, but
also to accelerate memory-bound computations.
It uses the blocking technique so as to reduce activity in the memory bus as
much as possible. In short, this technique works by dividing datasets in blocks
that are small enough to fit in caches of modern processors and perform
compression/decompression there. It also leverages, if available, SIMD
instructions (SSE2, AVX2) and multi-threading capabilities of CPUs, in order to
accelerate the compression/decompression process to a maximum.

* Fix CVE-2015-1197
* Fix CVE-2016-2037
* Fix CVE-2019-14866
* Remove --extract-over-symlinks option again, which was part of an earlier
non-upstream fix for CVE-2015-1197.
Version 3.1
DESCR:
rarfile is a Python module for RAR archive reading. The interface
is made as zipfile like as possible.
Supports both RAR3 and RAR5 format archives, multi volume archives,
Unicode filenames, password-protected archives, archive and file
comments, and archive parsing and non-compressed files handled with
pure Python code, Compressed files are extracted by executing either
unrar from RARLAB or bsdtar from libarchive. Works with both Python
2.7 and 3.x.

ghc and the hs-packages now simply include the necessary (haskell)
package description files in lib/ghc/package.conf.d and update the
package.cache by running ghc-pkg recache at the end. register and
unregister scripts are no longer needed.
* relaxes the fix for CVE-2019-12900
* cleanup of bzdiff and bzgrep scripts so they don't use bash extensions
There's also a homepage again.

Maintenance release, which includes a few bug fixes, including a fix for
a rare data corruption bug, which could only be triggered in a niche use
case.

internal replacement function. Following the changes to make realpath(3) use the
__realpath() syscall these no longer detect broken realpath i.e. produce different
code. Bump REVISION to ensure that users get the new version.
