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 option "-a, --trailing-error", which makes lzip exit with error
status 2 if any remaining input is detected after decompressing the last
member, has been added.
* Decompression time has been reduced by 2%.
* The new chapter "Trailing data" has been added to the manual.
* Fixed a harmless "make check" failure on Windows caused by the
failed comparison of a message in text mode.
Regards,
Antonio Diaz, lzip author and maintainer.
