I am pleased to announce the release of pdlzip 1.1.
Pdlzip is a limited, "public domain" version of the lzip data
compressor, that uses the (de)compression code from Igor Pavlov's LZMA
SDK and is able to decompress legacy lzma-alone (.lzma) files. Pdlzip is
written in C.
Pdlzip does not have a homepage of its own but some info is available at
lzip's homepage at http://www.nongnu.org/lzip/lzip.html.
The sources can be downloaded from
http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/lzip/.
The md5sums are:
ebfbcb409a45bc5a379889f0758ff6ea pdlzip-1.1.tar.gz
daf3884e5b36058fba10711279cd1928 pdlzip-1.1.tar.lz
This release is also GPG signed. You can download the signature by
appending ".sig" to the URL.
Changes in version 1.1:
* Support for decompression of lzma-alone (.lzma) files has been added.
* Match length limit set by options -1 to -8 has been reduced to
extend range of use towards gzip. Lower numbers now compress less but
faster. (-1 now takes 43% less time for only 20% larger compressed size).
(Note that the bidimensional parameter space of LZMA can't be mapped to
a linear scale optimal for all files. If your files are large, very
repetitive, etc, you may need to use the --match-length and
--dictionary-size options directly to achieve optimal performance).
* Code has been converted to "C89 + long long". A C99 compiler is no
longer needed.

Antonio Diaz, pdlzip co-author and maintainer.
