------------------------------------------------------------------- Sun Feb 13 22:32:35 UTC 2022 - Jan Engelhardt - Update to release 1.23 * Decompression time has been reduced by 5-12% depending on the file. * In case of error in a numerical argument to a command line option, lzip now shows the name of the option and the range of valid values. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue Jan 19 21:49:43 UTC 2021 - Dirk Müller - update to 1.22: * Lzip now reports an error if a file name is empty (lzip -t ""). * Option '-o, --output' now behaves like '-c, --stdout', but sending the output unconditionally to a file instead of to standard output. * Lzip now does not even open the output file if the input file is a terminal. * Lzip can now be built, tested, and installed on systems lacking a 'make' program. (Feature suggested by Mohammad Akhlaghi). * The words 'decompressed' and 'compressed' have been replaced with the shorter 'out' and 'in' in the verbose output when decompressing or testing. * Option '--list' now reports corruption or truncation of the last header in a multimenber file specifically instead of showing the generic message "Last member in input file is truncated or corrupt." * The commands needed to extract files from a tar.lz archive have been documented in the manual, in the output of '--help', and in the man page. * Plzip and tarlz are mentioned in the manual as alternatives for multiprocessors. * Several fixes and improvements have been made to the manual. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Sun Jan 13 19:34:11 UTC 2019 - seanlew@opensuse.org - Update to new upstream release 1.21 * Errors are now also checked when closing the input file * The descritions in the man pages are improved * Config script now accepts appending CXXFLAGS options ------------------------------------------------------------------- Fri Dec 14 11:39:06 UTC 2018 - Jan Engelhardt - Update to new upstream release 1.21~rc1 * Detection of forbidden combinations of characters in trailing data has been improved. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Mon Mar 5 19:35:24 UTC 2018 - jengelh@inai.de - Update to new upstream release 1.20 * The option "--loose-trailing" has been added. * The test used by clzip to discriminate trailing data from a corrupt header in multimember or concatenated files has been improved to a Hamming distance of 3. * The "-S" option now keeps input files unchanged. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue Jan 23 22:42:14 UTC 2018 - avindra@opensuse.org - Update to version 1.19 * The option '-l, --list' has been ported from lziprecover. * Don't allow mixing different operations (-d, -l or -t). * Compression time of option '-0' has been slightly reduced. * Decompression time has been reduced by 2%. * main.cc: Continue testing if any input file is a terminal. * main.cc: Show trailing data in both hexadecimal and ASCII. * encoder.cc (Matchfinder_base): Verify size passed to new. * file_index.cc: Improve detection of bad dict and trailing data. * lzip.h: Unified messages for bad magic, trailing data, etc. - switch to https in source urls ------------------------------------------------------------------- Sun Jun 5 11:46:42 UTC 2016 - mpluskal@suse.com - Update to version 1.18: * main.cc: Added new option '-a, --trailing-error'. * Decompression time has been reduced by 2%. * decoder.cc (verify_trailer): Removed test of final code. * main.cc (main): Delete '--output' file if infd is a terminal. * main.cc (main): Don't use stdin more than once. * Removed decompression support for version 0 files. * lzip.texi: Added chapter 'Trailing data'. * configure: Avoid warning on some shells when testing for g++. * Makefile.in: Detect the existence of install-info. * testsuite/check.sh: A POSIX shell is required to run the tests. * testsuite/check.sh: Don't check error messages. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thu Aug 6 08:15:49 UTC 2015 - jengelh@inai.de - Update to new upstream release 1.17 * The compression code has been reorganized to ease the porting of the fast encoder to clzip and lzlib. * The new chapter "Quality assurance" has been added to the manual. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Wed Oct 1 11:07:33 UTC 2014 - jengelh@inai.de - Update to new upstream release 1.16 * Compression ratio of option -9 has been slightly increased. * Compression time has been reduced by 4%. * `lzip -0` is now comparable in compression speed and ratio to `gzip -6` (gzip's default compression level). * Copying of file dates, permissions, and ownership now behaves like `cp -p`. (If the user ID or the group ID cannot be duplicated, the file permission bits S_ISUID and S_ISGID are cleared). * The license has been changed to GPL version 2 or later. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Fri Oct 4 11:19:28 UTC 2013 - jengelh@inai.de - Update to new upstream release 1.15 * This release shows the progress of compression at verbosity level 2 (-vv). * The chapter "Stream format" and the appendix "Reference source code" have been added to the manual. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Mon Apr 01 14:46:38 UTC 2013 - pascal.bleser@opensuse.org - update to 1.14: * Multi-step trials have been implemented * Compression ratio has been slightly increased * Compression time has been reduced by 5% * Decompression time has been reduced by 12% ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue Sep 4 08:13:44 UTC 2012 - cfarrell@suse.com - license update: GPL-3.0+ Use SPDX format (http://www.spdx.org/licenses) ------------------------------------------------------------------- Sun Mar 18 17:49:42 UTC 2012 - pascal.bleser@opensuse.org - update to 1.13: * lziprecover has been moved to its own package * inability to change output file attributes has been downgraded from error to warning * compression time of option "-0" has been reduced by 2% * a reorganization of the compression code has been made * a small change has been made in the "--help" output and man page * quote characters in messages have been changed as advised by GNU Coding Standards ------------------------------------------------------------------- Fri May 13 08:50:06 UTC 2011 - pascal.bleser@opensuse.org - update to 1.12: * the option "-F, --recompress", which forces recompression of files whose name already has the ".lz" or ".tlz" suffix, has been added * for large values of "--match-length", the compression ratio has been slightly increased, and compression time has been reduced by up to 6% * the compression time of the option "-0" has been reduced by 2% * this release will print only one status line for each multi-member file when only one "-v" is specified * it will print up to 6 bytes of trailing garbage when "-vvvv" is specified * it does not show the message "and `--stdout' was not specified" for file types that can't be read (directories, etc) ------------------------------------------------------------------- Mon Sep 27 12:45:42 UTC 2010 - pascal.bleser@opensuse.org - update to 1.11: * match length limit set by options -1 to -8 has been reduced to extend the range of use towards gzip;
