I am pleased to announce the release of lziprecover 1.17.
Lziprecover is a data recovery tool and decompressor for files in the
lzip compressed data format (.lz), able to repair slightly damaged
files, produce a correct file by merging the good parts of two or more
damaged copies, extract data from damaged files, decompress files and
test integrity of files.
Lziprecover is able to recover or decompress files produced by any of
the compressors in the lzip family; lzip, plzip, minilzip/lzlib, clzip
and pdlzip.
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.
The homepage is at http://www.nongnu.org/lzip/lziprecover.html
The sources can be downloaded from

The sha1sums are:
497855012ae7b648e173d7fc8cb57e59665f5ed7 lziprecover-1.17.tar.lz
004ba46a0bc33e133326dc225a4f6ffdcdc18981 lziprecover-1.17.tar.gz
This release is also GPG signed. You can download the signature by
appending ".sig" to the URL.
Changes in version 1.17:
* Merging files now uses an algorithm similar to the ones used to
solve the "Master Mind" game, which makes it much faster. Up to 2 orders
of magnitude faster depending on number of files and number of errors.
Please, report as a bug any files correctly merged by lziprecover 1.16
that this version can't merge.
* Repair time has been reduced by 15%.
* The new option "-y, --debug-delay", which finds the max error
detection delay in a given range of positions, has been added.
* The new option "-z, --debug-repair", which test repairs a one-byte
error at a given position, has been added.
* The targets "install-compress", "install-strip-compress",
"install-info-compress" and "install-man-compress" have been added to
the Makefile.
* The chapter "File names" has been added to the manual.
Please send bug reports and suggestions to address@hidden
Regards,
Antonio Diaz, lziprecover author and maintainer.
