Lzip is a lossless data compressor with a user interface similar to the
one of gzip or bzip2. Lzip is about as fast as gzip, compresses most
files more than bzip2, and is better than both from a data recovery
perspective. Lzip is a clean implementation of the LZMA algorithm.
The lzip file format is designed for long-term data archiving. It is
clean, provides very safe 4 factor integrity checking, and is backed by
the recovery capabilities of lziprecover.

Changes in this version:
* Copying of file dates, permissions, and ownership now behaves like
"cp -p". (If the user ID or the group ID can't be duplicated, the file
permission bits S_ISUID and S_ISGID are cleared).
* Compression time has been reduced by 4%.
* Some minor improvements have been made.
* "lzip.texinfo" has been renamed to "lzip.texi".

Antonio Diaz, lzip author and maintainer.
