I am pleased to announce the release of plzip 0.4.
Plzip is a massively parallel (multi-threaded) data compressor
compatible with the lzip file format. The files produced by plzip are
fully compatible with lzip-1.4 or newer. Plzip is intended for faster
compression/decompression of big files on multiprocessor machines. On
files big enough, plzip can use hundreds of processors.
The homepage is at http://www.nongnu.org/lzip/plzip.html.
The sources can be downloaded from
http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/lzip/.
The md5sums are:
00e08bedb803bbf1f2e7b52eea67279c plzip-0.4.tar.gz
341309277dbb7056136ae69b061a7340 plzip-0.4.tar.lz
Changes in version 0.4:
* The option "--version" now shows the version of lzlib being used.
* A code reorganization has been made. The new class "Packet_courier"
now coordinates data movement and synchronization among threads.
Regards,
Antonio Diaz, plzip co-author and maintainer.
