[Antonio Diaz Diaz]

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 similar to the one of 
gzip/bzip2.

Changes in this version:

  * The new option "--output", that sends output to a file when reading 
from standard input, has been added. This allows the direct creation of 
multivolume compressed tar archives.

  * "testsuite/unzcrash.cc" now tests all 1-byte errors instead of only
1-bit errors.

Antonio Diaz, lzip author and maintainer.
