I am pleased to announce the release of clzip 1.7.
Clzip is a lossless data compressor with a user interface similar to the
one of gzip or bzip2. Clzip is about as fast as gzip, compresses most
files more than bzip2, and is better than both from a data recovery
perspective.
Clzip uses the lzip file format; the files produced by clzip are fully
compatible with lzip-1.4 or newer, and can be rescued with lziprecover.
Clzip is in fact a C language version of lzip, intended for embedded
devices or systems lacking a C++ compiler.
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.

The sources can be downloaded from

The sha1sums are:
36a06272cdb16598003c9daa350e0204b10ffb1b clzip-1.7.tar.lz
4d4a97d30aab6be56c846bb8373b0c26ff902172 clzip-1.7.tar.gz
This release is also GPG signed. You can download the signature by
appending ".sig" to the URL.
Changes in version 1.7:
* The option "-0", which produces a compression speed and ratio
comparable to those of gzip, has been ported from lzip.
* The targets "install-compress", "install-strip-compress",
"install-info-compress" and "install-man-compress" have been added to
the Makefile.

Regards,
Antonio Diaz, clzip author and maintainer.
