I am pleased to announce the release of plzip 0.3.
Plzip is a parallel version of the lzip data compressor. The files
produced by plzip are fully compatible with lzip-1.4 or newer. Plzip is
intended for faster compression/decompression of big files on
multiprocessor machines.
The homepage is at http://www.nongnu.org/lzip/plzip.html.
The sources can be downloaded from
http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/lzip/.
The md5sums are:
e36a943e8b0b33c5ac41dcf470e05260 plzip-0.3.tar.gz
f7093d1eb22c32478bc9fab2ec2844a8 plzip-0.3.tar.lz
Changes in version 0.3:
* The new option "--data-size" has been added.
* Output file is now removed if plzip is interrupted.
* This version automatically chooses the smallest possible dictionary
size for each member during compression, saving memory during decompression.
* Regular files are now open in binary mode in non-POSIX platforms
defining the O_BINARY macro.
Regards,
Antonio Diaz, plzip co-author and maintainer.
