See the new +description of '-o' in the manual. This change is backwards compatible only +when (de)compressing from standard input alone. Therefore commands like: + lzip -o foo.lz - bar < foo +must now be split into: + lzip -o foo.lz - < foo + lzip bar +or rewritten as: + lzip - bar < foo > foo.lz -Lzip now compiles on DOS with DJGPP. (Patch from Robert Riebisch). +When using '-c' or '-o', lzip now checks whether the output is a terminal +only once. -The descriptions of '-0..-9', '-m' and '-s' in the manual have been -improved. +Lzip now does not even open the output file if the input file is a terminal. -The configure script now accepts appending options to CXXFLAGS using the -syntax 'CXXFLAGS+=OPTIONS'. +Lzip can now be built, tested, and installed on systems lacking a 'make' +program. (Feature suggested by Mohammad Akhlaghi). -It has been documented in INSTALL the use of -CXXFLAGS+='-D __USE_MINGW_ANSI_STDIO' when compiling on MinGW. +The words 'decompressed' and 'compressed' have been replaced with the +shorter 'out' and 'in' in the verbose output when decompressing or testing. + +Option '--list' now reports corruption or truncation of the last header in a +multimenber file specifically instead of showing the generic message "Last +member in input file is truncated or corrupt." + +The commands needed to extract files from a tar.lz archive have been +documented in the manual, in the output of '--help', and in the man page. + +Plzip and tarlz are mentioned in the manual as alternatives for +multiprocessors. + +Several fixes and improvements have been made to the manual. + +9 new test files have been added to the testsuite. |
