See the new -description of '-o' in the manual. This change is backwards compatible only -when (de)compressing from standard input alone. Therefore commands like: - plzip -o foo.lz - bar < foo -must now be split into: - plzip -o foo.lz - < foo - plzip bar -or rewritten as: - plzip - bar < foo > foo.lz +'--check-lib' now checks that LZ_API_VERSION and LZ_version_string match. -When using '-c' or '-o', plzip now checks whether the output is a terminal -only once. +The variable LIBS can now be set from configure. -Plzip now does not even open the output file if the input file is a terminal. +Several descriptions have been improved in manual, '--help', and man page. -The new option '--check-lib', which compares the version of lzlib used to -compile plzip with the version actually being used at run time, has been added. - -The words 'decompressed' and 'compressed' have been replaced with the -shorter 'out' and 'in' in the verbose output when decompressing or testing. - -When checking the integrity of multiple files, plzip is now able to continue -checking the rest of the files (instead of exiting) if some of them fail the -test, allowing 'plzip --test' to show a final diagnostic with the number of -files that failed (just as 'lzip --test'). - -Testing is now slightly (1.6%) faster when using lzlib 1.12. - -When compressing, or when decompressing or testing from a non-seekable file -or from standard input, plzip now starts only the number of worker threads -required. - -When decompressing or testing from a non-seekable file or from standard -input, trailing data are now not counted in the compressed size shown. - -When decompressing or testing a multimember file, plzip now shows the -largest dictionary size of all members in the file instead of showing the -dictionary size of the first member. - -Option '--list' now reports corruption or truncation of the last header in a -multimenber file specifically instead of showing the generic message "Last -member in input file is truncated or corrupt." - -The error messages for 'Data error' and 'Unexpected EOF' have been shortened. - -The commands needed to extract files from a tar.lz archive have been -documented in the manual, in the output of '--help', and in the man page. - -Tarlz is mentioned in the manual as an alternative to tar + plzip. - -Several fixes and improvements have been made to the manual. - -8 new test files have been added to the testsuite. +The texinfo category of the manual has been changed from 'Data Compression' +to 'Compression' to match that of gzip.
