Release Notes: The "configure" script now accepts options with a separate argument.


Release Notes: Decompression time has been reduced by 1%. File version is now shown only if verbosity >= 4. The option "-n, --threads" is now accepted and ignored for compatibility with plzip. The chapter "Stream Format" and the appendix "Reference source code" have been added to the manual.


Release Notes: Compression ratio has been slightly increased. Compression time has been reduced by 5%.


Release Notes: Decompression time has been reduced by 12%.


Release Notes: This release adds minor fixes and cleanups.


Release Notes: The compression time of the option "-0" has been reduced by 2%. A reorganization of the compression code has been made. A small change has been made in the "--help" output and the man page. Quote characters in messages have been changed as advised by GNU Coding Standards.


Release Notes: Lziprecover has been moved to its own package. The inability to change output file attributes has been downgraded from error to warning.


Release Notes: For large values of "--match-length", (high compression levels), the compression ratio has been slightly increased, and compression time has been reduced by up to 6%.


Release Notes: The option "-F, --recompress", which forces recompression of files whose names already have the ".lz" or ".tlz" suffix, has been added. The compression time of the option "-0" has been reduced by 2%. Prints only one status line for each multi-member file when only one "-v" is specified. Prints up to 6 bytes of trailing garbage when "-vvvv" is specified. Does not show the message "and `--stdout' was not specified" for file types that can't be read (directories, etc). If "--verbose" is not specified, lziprecover now only shows errors and warnings.


Release Notes: The "-0" option, which produces a compression speed and ratio comparable to those of "gzip -9", has been added to lzip.
