Changes in version 1.17:
Changes in version 1.18:
Merging files now uses an algorithm similar to the ones used to solve
the "Master Mind" game, which makes it much faster. Up to 2 orders of
magnitude faster depending on number of files and number of errors.
Please, report as a bug any files correctly merged by lziprecover 1.16
that this version can't merge.
"--repair" now tries to detect gross damage in the file before
attempting to repair it.
Repair time has been reduced by 15%.
"--repair" now tries bytes at member offsets 7 and 8 first because
errors in these bytes sometimes can't be detected until the end of the
member.
The new option "-y, --debug-delay", which finds the max error detection
delay in a given range of positions, has been added.
The new option "-z, --debug-repair", which test repairs a one-byte error
at a given position, has been added.
The targets "install-compress", "install-strip-compress",
"install-info-compress" and "install-man-compress" have been added to
the Makefile.
The chapter "File names" has been added to the manual.
The new option "-x, --show-packets", which shows the LZMA packets
(coding sequences) coded in a given file, has been added.
