| Authors of XZ Utils |
| =================== |
| |
| XZ Utils is developed and maintained by Lasse Collin |
| <lasse.collin@tukaani.org> and Jia Tan <jiat0218@gmail.com>. |
| |
| 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/>. |
| |
| A few scripts have been adapted from GNU 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. |
| |
| The initial version of the threaded .xz decompressor was written |
| by Sebastian Andrzej Siewior. |
| |
| The initial version of the .lz (lzip) decoder was written |
| by Michał Górny. |
| |
| Architecture-specific CRC optimizations were contributed by |
| Ilya Kurdyukov, Hans Jansen, and Chenxi Mao. |

| Many people have contributed improvements or reported bugs. |
| Most of these people are mentioned in the file THANKS. |
| |
| The translations of the command line tools and man pages have been |
| contributed by many people via the Translation Project: |
| |
| - https://translationproject.org/domain/xz.html |
| - https://translationproject.org/domain/xz-man.html |
| |
| The authors of the translated man pages are in the header comments |
| of the man page files. In the source package, the authors of the |
| translations are in po/*.po and po4a/*.po files. |
