Changes in version 1.23:
Changes in version 1.24:
Decompression time has been reduced by 5-12% depending on the file.
The option '--empty-error', which forces exit status 2 if any empty member
is found, has been added.
In case of error in a numerical argument to a command line option, lziprecover
now shows the name of the option and the range of valid values.
The option '--marking-error', which forces exit status 2 if the first LZMA
byte is non-zero in any member, has been added.
Options '--dump' and '--strip' now refuse to write compressed data to a
terminal except when dumping trailing data with '--dump=tdata'.
The option '--clear-marking', which sets to zero the first LZMA byte of each
member, has been added.
The option '-U, --unzcrash' now requires an argument: '1' to test 1-bit
errors, or 'B<size>' to test zeroed blocks.
The keyword 'empty' is now recognized in the argument of --dump, --remove,
and --strip.
The memory tester now allocates the dictionary once per member instead of
doing it for each test. This makes '-U, --unzcrash' about two times faster
on my machine on files with an uncompressed size larger than about 30 MB.
The option '--repair' has been renamed to '--byte-repair'.
'-W, --debug-decompress' now continues decompressing the members following
the damaged member if it has been fully decompressed (just failed with a CRC
mismatch).
The option '--debug-repair' has been renamed to '--debug-byte-repair'.
The tool unzcrash now uses execvp instead of popen to avoid invoking /bin/sh
and run faster. It also prints byte or block position in messages.
Diagnostics caused by invalid arguments to command line options now show the
argument and the name of the option.
Several descriptions have been improved in manual, '--help', and man page.
The texinfo category of the manual has been changed from 'Data Compression'
to 'Compression' to match that of gzip. (Reported by Alfred M. Szmidt).
The option '--no-verify' of unzcrash has been renamed to '--no-check'.
