Please, test it and report any bugs you find.

Lzip is a lossless data compressor based on the LZMA algorithm, with
very safe integrity checking and a user interface almost identical to
the one of bzip2.

Changes in this version:

  * Lzip now automatically chooses the smallest possible dictionary 
size for each file during compression, saving memory during decompression.

  * This version is able to decompress version 1 files that will be 
produced by lzip 1.4. Version 1 files include the size of the compressed 
data. This will facilitate safe recovery of undamaged members from 
multimember files.

Antonio Diaz, lzip author and maintainer.
