Subject:  [VOICENWS] SW: Lzip &amp; lziprecover v1.11-rc4

++ From the VOICE OS/2-eCS News Service   http://www.os2voice.org ++ 

From: elbert.polDESPAM at DESPAMgmail.com

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.

 * Version 1.11-rc4 released.  

 * main.cc: Set stdin/stdout in binary mode on MSVC and OS2.

 * Version 1.11-rc3 released.  

 * lziprecover.cc: Added new option \"--merge\" which tries to  

   produce a correct file merging the good parts of two or more  

   damaged copies.  

 * lziprecover.cc: Added new option \"--force\".  

 * lziprecover.cc: Added new option \"--output\".  

 * One new example has been added to the manual.

 * Version 1.11-rc2 released.  

 * decoder.cc (decode_member): Detect file errors earlier to  

   improve efficiency of lziprecover\'s new repair capability.  

   This change also prevents (harmless) access to uninitialized  

   memory when decompressing a corrupt file.  

 * lziprecover.cc: If no operation is specified, warn the user  

   and do nothing.  

 * lziprecover.cc: Added new option \"--split\" to select the until  

   now only operation of splitting multimember files.  

 * lziprecover.cc: Added new option \"--repair\" for repairing a  

   1-byte error in single-member files.  

 * testsuite: \"test1\" renamed to \"test.txt\"
