[Lzip-bug] Version 1.3 of lzlib released

[Antonio Diaz Diaz]

I am pleased to announce the release of lzlib 1.3.

Lzlib is a compression library providing in-memory LZMA compression and 
decompression functions, including integrity checking of the 
uncompressed data. The compressed data format used by lzlib is the lzip 
format. Lzlib is written in C.

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

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

The md5sums are:
7b61b2609181800c047742820a40c3ac  lzlib-1.3.tar.gz
6eaa1ef4deb7631bb65f3c4567d654a7  lzlib-1.3.tar.lz

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

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


Changes in version 1.3:

  * Lzlib has been translated to C from the C++ source of lzlib 1.2. 
This has been done to avoid the dependency on libstdc++, making lzlib 
useful in more environments.

  * 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.

Antonio Diaz, lzlib author and maintainer.
