I am pleased to announce the release of clzip 1.9.
Clzip is a C language version of lzip, fully compatible with lzip-1.4 or
newer. As clzip is written in C, it may be easier to integrate in
applications like package managers, embedded devices, or systems lacking
a C++ compiler.
Lzip is a lossless data compressor with a user interface similar to the
one of gzip or bzip2. Lzip can compress about as fast as gzip (lzip -0),
or compress most files more than bzip2 (lzip -9). Decompression speed is
intermediate between gzip and bzip2. Lzip is better than gzip and bzip2
from a data recovery perspective.
The lzip file format is designed for data sharing and long-term
archiving, taking into account both data integrity and decoder availability.
The homepage is at http://www.nongnu.org/lzip/clzip.html

This release is also GPG signed. You can download the signature by
appending '.sig' to the URL. If the 'gpg --verify' command fails because
you don't have the required public key, then run this command to import it:
gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 8FE99503132D7742
Key fingerprint = 1D41 C14B 272A 2219 A739 FA4F 8FE9 9503 132D 7742
Changes in version 1.9:
* The option '-l, --list' has been ported from lziprecover.
* It is now an error to specify two or more different operations in
the command line (--decompress, --list or --test).
* Compression time of option '-0' has been reduced by 6%.
* Compression time of options '-1' to '-9' has been reduced by 1%.
* Decompression time has been reduced by 7%.
* In test mode, clzip now continues checking the rest of the files if
any input file is a terminal.
* Trailing data are now shown both in hexadecimal and as a string of
printable ASCII characters.
* Three missing chapters have been added to the manual, which now
contains all the chapters of the lzip manual.

Antonio Diaz, clzip author and maintainer.
