All releases tagged Development


Release Notes: Decompression time has been reduced by 1%. The file version is now shown only if verbosity >= 4. The option "-n, --threads" is now accepted and ignored for compatibility with plzip. "configure" now accepts options with a separate argument.


Release Notes: Compression ratio has been slightly increased. Compression time has been reduced by 10%. Decompression time has been reduced by 8%.


Release Notes: This release adds minor fixes and cleanups.


Release Notes: The inability to change output file attributes has been downgraded from an error to a warning. A small change has been made in the "--help" output and man page. Quote characters in messages have been changed as advised by GNU Coding Standards.


Release Notes: For large values of "--match-length", compression ratio has been slightly increased and compression time has been reduced by up to 6%. The option "-F, --recompress" was added, which forces recompression of files whose names already have the ".lz" or ".tlz" suffix. Clzip now prints only one status line for each multimember file when only one "-v" is specified.


Release Notes: Do not show the message "and `--stdout' was not specified" for file types that can't be read (directories, etc.).


Release Notes: The code has been converted to "C89 + long long". A C99 compiler is no longer needed. A warning about fchown's return value being ignored has been fixed. "clzip -tvvvv" now shows the file compression ratio. Match length limit set by options -1 to -8 has been reduced to extend the range of use towards gzip; lower numbers now compress less but faster. Compression of the option -9 has been slightly increased. Some new examples have been added to the manual.


Release Notes: Input_buffer has been integrated in Range_decoder, simplifying the code and making decompression slightly faster.


Release Notes: A extensive code cleanup has been done. Compiler warnings produced by over-optimization (-O3) have been fixed.


Release Notes: This is the initial release. It was translated to C from the C++ source for lzip 1.10-rc1.
