Lzip 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. Lzip decompresses almost as fast as gzip and compresses 
better than bzip2, which makes it well suited for software distribution 
and data archiving.

Changes in this version:

  * Decompression time has been reduced by 1%.

  * Member version is now shown only if verbosity >= 4.

  * Option "-n, --threads" is now accepted and ignored for 
compatibility with plzip.

  * The chapter "Stream Format" and the appendix "Reference source 
code" have been added to the manual.
