[Lzip-bug] Lzlib 1.9 released

[Antonio Diaz Diaz]

I am pleased to announce the release of lzlib 1.9.

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

Compression/decompression is done by repeatedly calling a couple of 
read/write functions until all the data have been processed by the 
library. This interface is safer and less error prone than the 
traditional zlib interface.

The lzip file format is designed for data sharing and long-term 
archiving, taking into account both data integrity and decoder availability.

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

This release is also GPG signed. You can download the signature by 
appending '.sig' to the URL. If the 'gpg --verify' command fails because 
you don't have the required public key, then run this command to import it:

  gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 8FE99503132D7742

Key fingerprint = 1D41 C14B 272A 2219 A739  FA4F 8FE9 9503 132D 7742


Changes in version 1.9:

  * Compression time of option '-0' has been reduced by 3%.

  * Compression time of options '-1' to '-9' has been reduced by 1%.

  * Decompression time has been reduced by 3%.

  * In test mode, minilzip now continues checking the rest of the files 
if any input file is a terminal.

  * The license of the library has been changed to "2-clause BSD".
