lrzip-0.600
|
||||
|
||||
Compressing/decompressing to/from STDIN/STDOUT now works without generating
|
||||
any temporary files. Very large files compressed in this way will be less
|
||||
efficiently compressed than if the whole solid file is presented to lrzip,
|
||||
but it is guaranteed not to generate temporary files on compression.
|
||||
Decompressing files on a machine with the same amount of ram will also not
|
||||
generate temporary files, but if a file was generated on a larger ram machine,
|
||||
lrzip might employ temporary files, but they will not be the full size of the
|
||||
final file.
|
||||
Decompression should now be faster as the rzip reconstruction stage is mostly
|
||||
performed in ram before being written to disk.
|
||||
Final file sizes should be slightly smaller as block headers are now also
|
||||
compressed.
|
||||
Heavy grade encryption is now provided with the -e option. A combination of
|
||||
a time scaled multiply hashed sha512 password with random salt followed by
|
||||
aes128 block encryption of all data, including the data headers, provides for
|
||||
extremely secure encryption. Passwords up to 500 characters in length are
|
||||
supported, and the same file encrypted with the same password is virtually
|
||||
guaranteed to never produce the same data twice. All data beyond the basic
|
||||
lrzip opening header is completely obscured. Don't lose your password!
|
||||
Lrzip will not try to malloc a negative amount of ram on smaller ram machines,
|
||||
preferring to decrease the number of threads used when compressing, and then
|
||||
aborting to a nominal minimum.
|
||||
A new build configuration system which should be more robust and provides
|
||||
neater output during compilation.

lrzip-0.571
|
||||
|
||||
A new build configuration system.
|
||||
Avoid spurious errors on failing to mmap a file.
|
||||
Fee space will now be checked to ensure there is enough room for the
|
||||
compressed or decompressed file and lrzip will abort unless the -f option is
