Lzip is a lossless data compressor with a user interface similar to the 
one of gzip or bzip2. Lzip decompresses almost as fast as gzip and 
compresses more than bzip2, which makes it well suited for software 
distribution and data archiving. Lzip is a clean implementation of the 
LZMA algorithm.

The lzip file format is designed for long-term data archiving and 
provides very safe integrity checking. If you ever need to recover data 
from a damaged lzip file, try the lziprecover program.

Changes in this version:

  * Lzip now shows the progress of compression at verbosity level 2 (-vv).
