Changes in version 1.1:
Changes in version 1.2:
Code has been converted to "C89 + long long". A C99 compiler is no more
needed.
The option "-F, --recompress", which forces recompression of files whose
name already has the ".lz" or ".tlz" suffix, has been added.
A warning about fchown's return value being ignored has been fixed.
Print only one status line for each multimember file when only one "-v"
is specified.
"clzip -tvvvv" now shows file compression ratio.
Match length limit set by options -1 to -8 has been reduced to extend
range of use towards gzip. Lower numbers now compress less but faster.
(-1 now takes 43% less time for only 20% larger compressed size).
(Note that the bidimensional parameter space of LZMA can't be mapped to
a linear scale optimal for all files. If your files are large, very
repetitive, etc, you may need to use the --match-length and
--dictionary-size options directly to achieve optimal performance).
Compression of option -9 has been slightly increased.
Do not show the message "and `--stdout' was not specified" for file
types that can't be read (directories, etc).
Some new examples have been added to the manual.
For large values of "--match-length", compression ratio has been
slightly increased and compression time has been reduced by up to 6%.
