[Lzip-bug] Version 1.3 of clzip released

[Antonio Diaz Diaz]

I am pleased to announce the release of clzip 1.3.

Clzip is a lossless data compressor based on the LZMA algorithm, with 
very safe integrity checking and a user interface similar to the one of 
gzip or bzip2.

Clzip uses the lzip file format; the files produced by clzip are fully 
compatible with lzip-1.4 or newer. Clzip is in fact a C language version 
of lzip, intended for embedded devices or systems lacking a C++ compiler.

The homepage is at http://www.nongnu.org/lzip/clzip.html

The sources can be downloaded from 
http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/lzip/

The md5sums are:
ad80c5980b454e2f012b01c644281533  clzip-1.3.tar.gz
9e8ba9882118f6fedfddf56b63193eed  clzip-1.3.tar.lz

This release is also GPG signed. You can download the signature by
appending ".sig" to the URL.

Changes in version 1.3:

  * Inability to change output file attributes has been downgraded from 
error to warning.

  * A small change has been made in the "--help" output and man page.

  * Quote characters in messages have been changed as advised by GNU 
Coding Standards.

  * Configure option "--datadir" has been renamed to "--datarootdir" to 
follow GNU Standards.


Please send bug reports and suggestions to address@hidden

If you are packaging clzip for a distribution, please, try to use the 
lzipped source tarball, as this can improve the support for the lzip 
format in packaging systems[1][2]. Thanks.
