Report Email from project maintainer announced the following:

I am pleased to announce the release of lzlib 1.2.

Lzlib is a compression library providing in-memory LZMA compression and decompression functions, including integrity checking of the uncompressed data. The compressed data format used by lzlib is the lzip format.

The homepage is at http://www.nongnu.org/lzip/lzlib.html.

The sources can be downloaded from http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/lzip/.

The md5sums are: 7a77358000929bb0a31ad6b68a139b9d lzlib-1.2.tar.gz 9aaa8d5bb8f06c4579f59b448def942b lzlib-1.2.tar.lz

This release is also GPG signed. You can download the signature by appending ".sig" to the URL.

If you are packaging lzlib for a distribution, please, try to use the lzipped source tarball, as this can improve the support for the lzip format in packaging systems. Thanks.


Changes in version 1.2:

  • For large values of "--match-length", compression ratio has been

slightly increased and compression time has been reduced by up to 6%.

  • The option "-F, --recompress", which forces recompression of files

whose name already has the ".lz" or ".tlz" suffix, has been added to minilzip.

  • "make install" no more tries to run "/sbin/ldconfig" on systems

lacking it.


Please send bug reports and suggestions to lzip-bug@nongnu.org


Regards, Antonio Diaz, lzlib author and maintainer.
