XZ Utils 5.6.1 is available at <https://xz.tukaani.org/xz-utils/>.
Here is an extract from the NEWS file:
5.6.1 (2024-03-09)
* liblzma: Fixed two bugs relating to GNU indirect function (IFUNC)
with GCC. The more serious bug caused a program linked with
liblzma to crash on start up if the flag -fprofile-generate was
used to build liblzma. The second bug caused liblzma to falsely
report an invalid write to Valgrind when loading liblzma.
* xz: Changed the messages for thread reduction due to memory
constraints to only appear under the highest verbosity level.
* Build:
- Fixed a build issue when the header file <linux/landlock.h>
was present on the system but the Landlock system calls were
not defined in <sys/syscall.h>.
- The CMake build now warns and disables NLS if both gettext
tools and pre-created .gmo files are missing. Previously,
this caused the CMake build to fail.
* Minor improvements to man pages.
* Minor improvements to tests.
