A new snapshot of the git tree is available:
http://tukaani.org/lzma/lzma-4.999.3alpha.tar.gz
The new LZMA Utils will use version numbering scheme similar to many
other free software projects. The first stable version will be 5.0.0
(but I don't know when). The version number of LZMA Utils will have
nothing to do with the version number of LZMA SDK anymore.
Development has stagnated during the past few months due to bunch of
security problems found from the file format design and some other file
format issues. These issues aren't fixed in this snapshot.
To get the problems fixed and also the project out of alpha stage in
this life, it is likely that the file format will change quite a bit
and become significantly simpler. It should simplify the actual
implementation too.
Using liblzma to encode and decode LZMA_Alone format files (the
current/old .lzma format) should be quite OK now. The code is very
probably not as stable as LZMA SDK is, but some people find liblzma
working "well enough" when operation is restricted to LZMA_Alone files.
Keep in mind that I don't track API/ABI changes yet, so upgrading
between versions may break things.
