| 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/>. |
| |
| Some scripts have been adapted from 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. |
| |
| 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. |
| |
| The GNU Autotools-based build system contains files from many authors, |
| which I'm not trying to list here. |
| |
| Several people have contributed fixes or reported bugs. Most of them |
| are mentioned in the file THANKS. |
