[Lzip-bug] Version 0.9 of plzip released

[Antonio Diaz Diaz]

I am pleased to announce the release of plzip 0.9.

Plzip is a massively parallel (multi-threaded), lossless data compressor 
based on the LZMA algorithm, with very safe integrity checking and a 
user interface similar to the one of gzip or bzip2. Plzip uses the lzip 
file format; the files produced by plzip are fully compatible with 
lzip-1.4 or newer.

Plzip is intended for faster compression/decompression of big files on 
multiprocessor machines, which makes it specially well suited for 
distribution of big software files and large scale data archiving. On 
files big enough, plzip can use hundreds of processors.
