Package: pbzip2
Severity: wishlist

Please package new upstream version 1.1.0
New version available at: http://compression.ca/pbzip2/pbzip2-1.1.0.tar.gz

Changes in 1.1.0 (Mar 13, 2010)
- Added support for multi-threaded decompression using STDIN/pipes
- Added code to support throttling compression to prevent memory
  exhaustion with slow output pipe
- Added -m switch to specify max memory usage amount before
  throttling starts (default 100MB)
- Fixed bug that did not allow command line parameters to be used
  when compressing data from STDIN
- Added long options to man page and -h output
- Added --loadavg, --read long options
- Added support for CPU detection on Win32
- Major improvements to protection of shared variables, error and
  signal handling, program termination
- Added -S switch for thread stack size customization
  (needs USE_STACKSIZE_CUSTOMIZATION defined when compiling)
- Fixed command line parsing bug for -b, -p, -m switches
- Fixed infinite loop when fileWriter fails to create output
  file at start
- Fixed bug that deleted input filename (with .bz2 extension for
  compression and without .bz2 extension for decompression) when
  a user interrupts process with CTRL-C while outputting to STDOUT
- Fixed bug where 0 byte files were not processed properly when
  data input from STDIN
- Ignores fwrite return and passes chown errors in writeFileMetaData
  if effective uid root
- OutputBuffer usage redesigned as fixed-size circular buffer
- Lots of minor bugs fixed (see AUTHORS or pbzip2.cpp for full details)
- Special thanks to Yavor Nikolov for providing the majority of
  contributions to this release and a significant amount of testing

Thanks,
Jeff.
