This option improves compression efficiency for -archives with lots of small files. +An endless loop happening when trying to list or extract from an empty +tar.lz archive has been fixed. -The new option '-B, --data-size', which sets the size of the input data -blocks for '--bsolid', has been added. +Multi-threaded '-c, --create' and '-r, --append' have been implemented. -If an extended header is required for any reason (for example a file size -larger than 8 GiB or a link name longer than 100 bytes), tarlz now moves the -filename also to the extended header to prevent an ustar tool from trying to -extract the file or link. This also makes easier during parallel extraction -or listing the detection of a tar member split between two lzip members at -the boundary between the extended header and the ustar header. +The default compression granularity has been changed to '--bsolid' +(per block compression) instead of '--no-solid' (per file compression). + +The message "Removing leading '<prefix>' from member names." is now shown +once for each <prefix>. + +The new chapter 'Minimum archive sizes required for multi-threaded block +compression' has been added to the manual. |
