2012-02-24 Antonio Diaz Diaz <ant_diaz@teleline.es>
* Version 1.13 released.
* Lziprecover has been moved to its own package.

* Version 1.12 released.
* main.cc: Added new option '-F, --recompress'.
* encoder.h (update_prices): Update high length symbol prices
independently of the value of 'pos_state'. This gives better
compression for large values of '--match-length' without being
slower.
* encoder.h encoder.cc: Optimize pair price calculations. This
reduces compression time for large values of '--match-length'

reduced to extend range of use towards gzip. Lower numbers now
compress less but faster. (-1 now takes 43% less time for only
20% larger compressed size).

* lziprecover.cc: Added new option '-m, --merge' which tries to
produce a correct file merging the good parts of two or more
damaged copies.

a 1-byte error in single-member files.

been changed to improve linearity of compressed sizes.
