Eliminating it reduces the number of false +positives for corruption and makes error detection more accurate). -The option "-0" has been ported from lzip to minilzip. +The option "-a, --trailing-error", which makes minilzip exit with error +status 2 if any remaining input is detected after decompressing the last +member, has been added. -If all the data to be compressed are written in advance, lzlib will -automatically adjust the header of the compressed data to use the -smallest possible dictionary size. This feature reduces the amount of -memory needed for decompression and allows minilzip to produce identical -compressed output as lzip. +When decompressing with minilzip, the file specified with the '--output' +option is now deleted if the input is a terminal. -The targets "install-compress", "install-strip-compress", -"install-info-compress" and "install-man-compress" have been added to -the Makefile. +A harmless check failure on Windows, caused by the failed comparison of +a message in text mode, has been fixed. |
