Changes in version 1.12:
Changes in version 1.13:
Clzip now reports an error if a file name is empty (clzip -t "").
Decompression time has been reduced by 5-12% depending on the file.
Option '-o, --output' now behaves like '-c, --stdout', but sending the
output unconditionally to a file instead of to standard output. See the new
description of '-o' in the manual. This change is backwards compatible only
when (de)compressing from standard input alone. Therefore commands like:
clzip -o foo.lz - bar < foo
must now be split into:
clzip -o foo.lz - < foo
clzip bar
or rewritten as:
clzip - bar < foo > foo.lz
In case of error in a numerical argument to a command line option, clzip
now shows the name of the option and the range of valid values.
When using '-c' or '-o', clzip now checks whether the output is a terminal
only once.
Several descriptions have been improved in manual, '--help', and man page.
Clzip now does not even open the output file if the input file is a terminal.
The words 'decompressed' and 'compressed' have been replaced with the
shorter 'out' and 'in' in the verbose output when decompressing or testing.
Option '--list' now reports corruption or truncation of the last header in a
multimenber file specifically instead of showing the generic message "Last
member in input file is truncated or corrupt."
The commands needed to extract files from a tar.lz archive have been
documented in the manual, in the output of '--help', and in the man page.
Plzip and tarlz are mentioned in the manual as alternatives for
multiprocessors.
Several fixes and improvements have been made to the manual.
9 new test files have been added to the testsuite.
The texinfo category of the manual has been changed from 'Data Compression'
to 'Compression' to match that of gzip. (Reported by Alfred M. Szmidt).
