Changes in version 1.7:
Changes in version 1.8:
The fast encoder, which produces a compression speed and ratio
comparable to those of gzip, has been ported from lzip.
The test of the value remaining in the range decoder has been removed.
(After extensive testing it has been found useless to detect corruption
in the decompressed data. Eliminating it reduces the number of false
positives for corruption and makes error detection more accurate).
The option "-0" has been ported from lzip to minilzip.
The option "-a, --trailing-error", which makes minilzip exit with error
status 2 if any remaining input is detected after decompressing the last
member, has been added.
If all the data to be compressed are written in advance, lzlib will
automatically adjust the header of the compressed data to use the
smallest possible dictionary size. This feature reduces the amount of
memory needed for decompression and allows minilzip to produce identical
compressed output as lzip.
When decompressing with minilzip, the file specified with the '--output'
option is now deleted if the input is a terminal.
The targets "install-compress", "install-strip-compress",
"install-info-compress" and "install-man-compress" have been added to
the Makefile.
A harmless check failure on Windows, caused by the failed comparison of
a message in text mode, has been fixed.
