Lzip is a lossless data compressor with a user interface similar to the
one of gzip or bzip2. Lzip is about as fast as gzip, compresses most
files more than bzip2, and is better than both from a data recovery
perspective. Lzip is a clean implementation of the LZMA "algorithm".
The lzip file format is designed for data sharing and long-term
archiving, taking into account both data integrity and decoder
availability. It is as simple as possible (but not simpler), provides
very safe 4 factor integrity checking, and is backed by the recovery
capabilities of lziprecover.
A nice feature of the lzip format is that a corrupt byte is easier to
repair the nearer it is from the beginning of the file. Therefore, with
the help of lziprecover, losing an entire archive just because of a
corrupt byte near the beginning is a thing of the past.

Changes in this version:
* A spurious warning about an uninitialized variable has been fixed.
This is the last release candidate before 1.17 stable.

Antonio Diaz, lzip author and maintainer.
