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.
The lzip file format is designed for data sharing and long-term
archiving, taking into account both data integrity and decoder availability.
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:
* The new chapter "Quality assurance" has been added to the manual.
This is (I hope) the last release candidate before 1.17 stable.
Regards,
Antonio Diaz, lzip author and maintainer.
