[Lzip-bug] Version 1.3 of lzip released

[Antonio Diaz Diaz]

I am pleased to announce the release of lzip 1.3.

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.

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

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

The md5sums are:
a38041b67b6a6424308d8329ffa1217e  lzip-1.3.tar.gz
dc0469af62ac35e2429ed1d4288df7a0  lzip-1.3.tar.lz

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

Changes in version 1.3:

  * This version 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.
