Please sign off for new upstream version. This fixes e.g. data corruption:
XZ Utils 4.999.9beta was released on 2009-08-27. Among many less important changes, this release fixes a data corruption in the compression code. Everyone using an older version of XZ Utils should upgrade.
This is the last beta release before XZ Utils 5.0.0. No big changes are planned before the first stable release.
Just a reminder, there's still a bug in libarchive that prevents xz/lzma from being supported properly (archives compressed manually with xz -9 fail to decompress). This bug is fixed, but no new libarchive has been released since then. Everybody said fixing it isn't worth it, as a new libarchive would be released "soon".
