lrzip ChangeLog
FEBRUARY 2011, version 0.561 Con Kolivas
* Clean up the messy help output.
* Refuse to read from or write to terminal in stdin/stdout mode.
* Delete temporary files generated when testing from stdin.
* Don't call perror on failures that aren't system related.
* Improve visual output.
* Significant multi-threading speed-ups - Use one more thread than CPUs, and
use a smaller buffer on the first thread and slightly more each next thread
until the next stream. Then repeat the cycle.
* Don't split up the chunks into multiple threads when no back end
compression is being used.
* Take into account the precise amount of overhead that the memory hungry
back-end compression modes lzma and zpaq use when determining how much ram to
allocate, and limit total back-end compression ram to 1/3.
* Deprecate the -M option as it is no longer of any significant utility
compared to the -U option.
* Strip symbols by default in compilation and add -W -Wall to CXXFLAGS to be
consistent with CFLAGS.
* Update benchmarks.
FEBRUARY 2011, Peter Hyman
* Minor updates to man pages, lrzip.conf example file.
* Update main help screen to include environment settings.
