As a consequence some kinds of files -no longer can be appended to a lzip file as trailing data unless the -'--loose-trailing' option is used when decompressing. -Lziprecover can be used to remove conflicting trailing data from a file. +Errors are now also checked when closing the input file. -The contents of a corrupt or truncated header found in a multimember -file are now shown, after the error message, in the same format as -trailing data. +Lzip now compiles on DOS with DJGPP. (Patch from Robert Riebisch). -Option '-S, --volume-size' now keeps input files unchanged. +The descriptions of '-0..-9', '-m' and '-s' in the manual have been +improved. -When creating multimember files or splitting the output in volumes, the -dictionary size is now adjusted for each member individually. +The configure script now accepts appending options to CXXFLAGS using the +syntax 'CXXFLAGS+=OPTIONS'. -The 'bits/byte' ratio has been replaced with the inverse compression -ratio in the output. - -The progress of decompression is now shown at verbosity level 2 (-vv) or -higher. - -Progress of (de)compression is only shown if stderr is a terminal. - -A final diagnostic is now shown at verbosity level 1 (-v) or higher if -any file fails the test when testing multiple files. - -A second '.lz' extension is no longer added to the argument of '-o' if -it already ends in '.lz' or '.tlz'. - -In case of (de)compressed size mismatch, the stored size is now also -shown in hexadecimal to ease visual comparison. - -The dictionary size is now shown at verbosity level 4 (-vvvv) when -decompressing or testing. - -The new chapter "Meaning of lzip's output" has been added to the manual. +It has been documented in INSTALL the use of +CXXFLAGS+='-D __USE_MINGW_ANSI_STDIO' when compiling on MinGW. |
