==== Local Packages ====

 * Updated `xz` in F-16 and Rawhide only to 5.1.1alpha as per the Fedora version (see [[RedHatBugzilla:736318|Bug #736318]] for justification); I didn't backport it to older releases because not only is it an alpha release, it fails its own test suite and segfaults when built on some older distributions
  * Support for multi-threaded compression was added using the simplest method, which splits the input data into blocks and compresses them independently (other methods will be added in the future)
  * Added the options `--single-stream` and `--block-size=SIZE` to `xz`
  * `xzdiff` and `xzgrep` now support `.lzo` files if `lzop` is installed (the `.tzo` suffix is also recognized as a shorthand for `.tar.lzo`)
  * Support for short 8.3 filenames under DOS was added to `xz`; it is experimental and may change before it gets into a stable release
 * Updated `perl-Compress-Raw-Lzma` to rebuild it against `xz` 5.1.1alpha in F-16 and Rawhide
 * Updated `perl-autodie`, `perl-B-Keywords`, `perl-Carp-Heavy`, `perl-ExtUtils-CBuilder` and `perl-Module-Compat` to fix the dist tag for CentOS 6 and Scientific Linux builds
