I am pleased to announce the release of lzip 1.14.

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:
325ba1cb9142c1dbdebd01d73970300f  lzip-1.14.tar.lz
39a4b06952ee45274525dc0582cdd651  lzip-1.14.tar.gz

This release is also GPG signed. You can download the signature by appending ".sig" to the URL.

Changes in version 1.14:

  * Multi-step trials have been implemented.

  * Compression ratio has been slightly increased.

  * Compression time has been reduced by 5%.

  * Decompression time has been reduced by 12%.

  * The target "install-bin" has been added to the Makefile.
