[Lzip-bug] Lunzip 1.7 released

[Antonio Diaz Diaz]

I am pleased to announce the release of lunzip 1.7.

Lunzip is a decompressor for lzip files. It is written in C and its 
small size makes it well suited for embedded devices or software 
installers that need to decompress files but do not need compression 
capabilities. Lunzip is fully compatible with lzip-1.4 or newer and is 
able to decompress any lzip file using as little memory as 50 kB.

The lzip file format is designed for data sharing and long-term 
archiving, taking into account both data integrity and decoder availability.

A nice feature of the lzip format is that a corrupt byte is easier to 
repair the nearer it is from the beginning of the file. Therefore, with 
the help of lziprecover, losing an entire archive just because of a 
corrupt byte near the beginning is a thing of the past.
