I just tried `./configure && make` Sword 1.7.4 and it did compile in xzcomprs.cpp. So I guess the stable releases DO include the experimental code.
Usually it helps when experimental features have their own feature branches or similar. This not being a common practice in the Sword project, is probably one cause for other experimental code reaching trunk as well (see the "Infinite loop in SWModule multilemma window search" thread on this mailing list). Anyway, are you saying that removing/disabling this code will not break anything for end-users? Because there are no (known?) modules which have XZ compression? I think there's a risk it has already been used for production. Can you please elaborate? Best regards, J PS: Unrelated to the issue at hand, but this article might be of interest to the Sword project: "Xz format inadequate for long-term archiving" http://www.nongnu.org/lzip/xz_inadequate.html On 03.11.2016 08:51, Peter von Kaehne wrote: > Leaving aside the question of a bug, xzcompress.cpp is experimental code.
