[Lzip-bug] Version 1.14 of lziprecover released

[Antonio Diaz Diaz]

I am pleased to announce the release of lziprecover 1.14.

Lziprecover is a data recovery tool and decompressor for files in the 
lzip compressed data format (.lz) able to repair slightly damaged files, 
recover badly damaged files from two or more copies, extract undamaged 
members from multi-member files, decompress files, test integrity of 
files, extract a range of bytes from a file, and list the correct size 
of multi-member files.

Lziprecover is able to recover or decompress files produced by any of 
the compressors in the lzip family; lzip, plzip, minilzip/lzlib, clzip 
and pdlzip. This recovery capability contributes to make the lzip format 
one of the best options for long-term data archiving.

Changes in version 1.14:

  * The new option "-i, --ignore-errors", which in conjunction with 
"-D" decompresses all the recoverable data in all members of a file 
without having to split it first, has been added.

  * Option "-l, --list" now accepts more than one file.

  * Decompression time has been reduced by 12%.

  * "--split" now uses as few digits as possible in the names of the 
files produced, depending on the number of members in the input file.

  * "--split" in verbose mode now shows the names of files being created.

  * When decompressing or testing, file version is now shown only if 
verbosity >= 4.

  * "configure" now accepts options with a separate argument.

  * The target "install-as-lzip" has been added to the Makefile.

  * The target "install-bin" has been added to the Makefile.
