This +allows tools like tarlz to recover as much data as possible from damaged +members. -The option '--loose-trailing', has been added to minilzip. +It is now an error to specify two different operations to minilzip in +the command line (--decompress and --test). -The test used by lzlib to discriminate trailing data from a corrupt -header in multimember or concatenated files has been improved to a -Hamming distance (HD) of 3, and the 3 bit flips must happen in different -magic bytes for the test to fail. 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. +Minilzip now also checks for errors when closing the input file. -Option '-S, --volume-size' of minilzip now keeps input files unchanged. +Minilzip now compiles on DOS with DJGPP. (Patch from Robert Riebisch). -The 'bits/byte' ratio has been replaced with the inverse compression -ratio in the output of minilzip. +The descriptions of '-0..-9', '-m' and '-s' in the manual have been +improved. -minilzip now shows a final diagnostic at verbosity level 1 (-v) or -higher if any file fails the test when testing multiple files. +It has been documented that it is safe to call 'LZ_(de)compress_finish' +as many times as needed. Examples in the manual have been simplified. -minilzip no longer adds a second '.lz' extension to the argument of '-o' -if it already ends in '.lz' or '.tlz'. +The configure script now accepts appending options to CFLAGS using the +syntax 'CFLAGS+=OPTIONS'. -minilzip now shows the dictionary size at verbosity level 4 (-vvvv) when -decompressing or testing. +Makefile targets 'install-bin*' have been renamed to 'install-lib*'. New +'install-bin*' targets have been created that install a shared minilzip, +or a static minilzip if the shared library has not been configured. -The new chapter 'Invoking minilzip' has been added to the manual. +It has been documented in INSTALL the use of +CFLAGS+='-D __USE_MINGW_ANSI_STDIO' when compiling on MinGW. |
