[Lzip-bug] Lzip 1.15 released

[Antonio Diaz Diaz]

I am pleased to announce the release of lzip 1.15.

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. It is 
clean, provides very safe 4 factor integrity checking, and is backed by 
the recovery capabilities of lziprecover.

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

The sources can be downloaded from

appending ".sig" to the URL.


Changes in version 1.15:

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

  * Decompressing and testing no more show file version.

  * Option "-n, --threads" is now accepted and ignored for 
compatibility with plzip.

  * The chapter "Stream format" and the appendix "Reference source 
code" have been added to the manual.

  * The configure script now accepts options with a separate argument.
