📖The History of XZ🦜
LZMA (https://web.archive.org/web/20121109182343/http://sourceforge.net/projects/sevenzip/forums/forum/45797/topic/1025556)
Andrey Markov (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markov_chain)
LZ77 and LZ78 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LZ77_and_LZ78)
7zip history (https://7-zip.org/history.txt)
Slackels (https://web.archive.org/web/20060202151612/https://tukaani.org/)
LZMA in the form of the GCC compiled LZMA SDK (https://web.archive.org/web/20060213143853/http://tukaani.org/lzma/history)
Tukanni Linux Project was officially gone (https://web.archive.org/web/20071011030325/http://tukaani.org/)
LZMA Utils was left behind (https://web.archive.org/web/20090830051503/http://tukaani.org:80/xz) in favor of the similarly LZMA-backed Xz Utils.
version 5.0 (https://web.archive.org/web/20101201065849/http://tukaani.org/xz/) is the transition from LZMA to XZ.
Some distributions would eventually migrate to using Z Standard compression, including Arch (https://archlinux.org/news/now-using-zstandard-instead-of-xz-for-package-compression/) in 2019 and Fedora (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Switch_RPMs_to_zstd_compression) and Ubuntu would make the switch in 2020.
A new face, Jigar Kumar, shows up (https://www.mail-archive.com/xz-devel@tukaani.org/msg00565.html).
January 7th, 2023, Jia Tan was finally able to merge their own commits (https://github.com/tukaani-project/xz/pull/7) to Xz on Github.
Jia tries to convince (https://github.com/google/oss-fuzz/pull/10667) the OSS-Fuzz team to accept a patch that disabled Indrect Function.
Adding the test files (https://git.tukaani.org/?p=xz.git;a=commitdiff;h=cf44e4b7f5dfdbf8c78aef377c10f71e274f63c0) which weren't test files at all.
