Changes in version 1.9:
Changes in version 1.10:
Compression time of option '-0' has been reduced by 3%.
The function 'LZ_compress_finish' now adjusts the dictionary size for
each member.
Compression time of options '-1' to '-9' has been reduced by 1%.
The option '--loose-trailing', has been added to minilzip.
Decompression time has been reduced by 3%.
The test used by lzlib to discriminate trailing data from a corrupt
header in multimember or concatenated files has been improved to a
Hamming distance (HD) of 3, and the 3 bit flips must happen in different
magic bytes for the test to fail. As a consequence, lzlib now returns a
data error when some kinds of files are appended to a lzip file as
trailing data.
The '--loose-trailing' option of minilzip can be used to ignore such
trailing data when decompressing.
Lziprecover can be used to remove conflicting trailing data from a file.
In test mode, minilzip now continues checking the rest of the files if
any input file is a terminal.
Option '-S, --volume-size' of minilzip now keeps input files unchanged.
The license of the library has been changed to "2-clause BSD".
The 'bits/byte' ratio has been replaced with the inverse compression
ratio in the output of minilzip.
minilzip now shows a final diagnostic at verbosity level 1 (-v) or
higher if any file fails the test when testing multiple files.
minilzip no longer adds a second '.lz' extension to the argument of '-o'
if it already ends in '.lz' or '.tlz'.
minilzip now shows the dictionary size at verbosity level 4 (-vvvv) when
decompressing or testing.
The new chapter 'Invoking minilzip' has been added to the manual.
