* Minor fixes.
2013-07-15 Antonio Diaz Diaz <antonio@gnu.org>
* Version 1.15-pre3 released.
* Show progress of compression at verbosity level 2 (-vv).
2013-05-11 Antonio Diaz Diaz <antonio@gnu.org>

2012-02-24 Antonio Diaz Diaz <ant_diaz@teleline.es>
* Version 1.13 released.
* Lziprecover has been moved to its own package.
* main.cc (close_and_set_permissions): Inability to change output
file attributes has been downgraded from error to warning.

* 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'
by up to 6%.

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).
* encoder.cc: Compression of option -9 has been slightly increased.
* 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.

memory when decompressing a corrupt file.

and do nothing.

hash-table) have been tested and found no better than the
current BT4.

mode 0666 if umask allows it, deleted if interrupted by user.

* main.cc: Dictionary size for options -2, -3, -4 and -8 has
been changed to improve linearity of compressed sizes.
* lzip.h: Fixed warnings produced by over-optimization (-O3).
* Makefile.in: Added quotes to directory names.
2010-01-17 Antonio Diaz Diaz <ant_diaz@teleline.es>
