XZ 5.2 Adds New Multi-Threaded Options
Version 5.2.0 of the XZ utilities were released on Sunday.
Updated as part of XZ's liblzma library for LZMA compression is multi-threaded compression support, speed optimizations, support for symbol versioning, and updated Windows MSVC build support.
XZ itself with the 5.2.0 release gained multi-threaded decompression support using the --threads / -T option, new command line options, and other changes.
The xzdiff and xzgrep commands also now support .lzo files when lzop is installed.
