This release updates Zstandard to the latest upstream version, which is a maintenance release with bugfixes and minor performance improvements.
Zstandard, or zstd as short version, is a fast lossless compression algorithm, targeting real-time compression scenarios at zlib-level and better compression ratios. http://www.zstd.net/ Besides a standalone compression tool, development headers and a library with comprehensive API are available both for Cygwin native applications and cross-compilation toolchains in the following sub-packages: libzstd-devel-1.5.6-1 libzstd1-1.5.6-1 mingw64-i686-zstd-1.5.6-1 mingw64-x86_64-zstd-1.5.6-1 Notes ----- This version is compiled with support for GZip, LZ4 and Xz compression and all libraries are built with MT capability. Support for legacy formats from ZStandard versions before 1.0 has been removed. -- -- *** CYGWIN-ANNOUNCE UNSUBSCRIBE INFO *** The easiest way to unsubscribe is to visit <https://cygwin.com/mailman/options/cygwin-announce>, and click 'Unsubscribe'.
