I am pleased to announce the release of lzip 1.4.
Lzip is a 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. Lzip decompresses almost as fast as gzip and compresses
better than bzip2, which makes it well suited for software distribution
and data archiving.
The homepage is at http://www.nongnu.org/lzip/lzip.html.
The sources can be downloaded from
http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/lzip/.
The md5sums are:
b7b7b7502c0364995709f5580539dfef lzip-1.4.tar.gz
40a7bfabced5b6aeb653566de5c78866 lzip-1.4.tar.lz
This release is also GPG signed. You can download the signature by
appending ".sig" to the URL.
Changes in version 1.4:
* Lzip 1.4 produces version 1 files with support for safe recovery of
undamaged members from multimember files.
* The new option "--member-size", that produces multimember files,
has been added.
* The new option "--volume-size", that splits the compressed output
into several volume files, has been added.
* The new option "--output", that sends output to a file when reading
from standard input, has been added. This allows the direct creation of
multivolume compressed tar archives.
* This version is able to read from some types of non regular files
if "--stdout" is specified.
* Lziprecover, a member recoverer program for lzip compressed files,
has been added to the distribution.
* "testsuite/unzcrash.cc" now tests all 1-byte errors instead of only
1-bit errors.

Antonio Diaz, lzip author and maintainer.
