I am pleased to announce the release of lzlib 1.16.
Lzlib is a data compression library providing in-memory LZMA compression and
decompression functions, including integrity checking of the decompressed
data. The compressed data format used by the library is the lzip format.
Lzlib is written in C and is distributed under a 2-clause BSD license.
Compression/decompression is done by repeatedly calling a couple of
read/write functions until all the data have been processed by the library.
This interface is safer and less error prone than the traditional zlib
interface.
The homepage is at http://www.nongnu.org/lzip/lzlib.html
The sources can be downloaded from

This release is also GPG signed. You can download the signature by appending
'.sig' to the URL. If the 'gpg --verify' command fails because you don't
have the required public key, you may download the key from
http://savannah.gnu.org/people/viewgpg.php?user_id=12809 or the GNU keyring
from http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/gnu-keyring.gpg
Key fingerprint = 1E5A EE0B 18C0 DEB4 5D64 AA03 25B6 2C98 2150 1AA0
(This release is signed with a new key because the old 1024-bit DSA key
8FE99503132D7742 is no longer accepted by Debian).
Changes in version 1.16:
* An index of functions and constants has been added to the manual.
Changes to minilzip:
* '-dvv' and '-tvv' now print (de)compressed sizes instead of compression
ratio. (Sizes are more informative than compression ratio).
* Large numbers in option arguments are now accepted with underscore
separators (-s 123_456_789).
* Large numbers are now printed with underscore separators (123_456_789).
* '-h' now prints a short help screen containing only the command-line
options. For full help, use '--help'.
* 'EXIT STATUS' now has its own section in the man page.

Antonio Diaz, lzlib author and maintainer.
