As a consequence, lzlib now returns a +data error when some kinds of files are appended to a lzip file as +trailing data. +The '--loose-trailing' option of minilzip can be used to ignore such +trailing data when decompressing. +Lziprecover can be used to remove conflicting trailing data from a file. -In test mode, minilzip now continues checking the rest of the files if -any input file is a terminal. +Option '-S, --volume-size' of minilzip now keeps input files unchanged. -The license of the library has been changed to "2-clause BSD". +The 'bits/byte' ratio has been replaced with the inverse compression +ratio in the output of minilzip. + +minilzip now shows a final diagnostic at verbosity level 1 (-v) or +higher if any file fails the test when testing multiple files. + +minilzip no longer adds a second '.lz' extension to the argument of '-o' +if it already ends in '.lz' or '.tlz'. + +minilzip now shows the dictionary size at verbosity level 4 (-vvvv) when +decompressing or testing. + +The new chapter 'Invoking minilzip' has been added to the manual. |
