I am pleased to announce the release of lunzip 1.12.
Lunzip is a decompressor for the lzip format written in C. Its small size
makes it well suited for embedded devices or software installers that need
to decompress files but don't need compression capabilities. Lunzip is fully
compatible with lzip 1.4 or newer and is able to decompress any lzip file
using as little memory as 50 kB.
The lzip file format is designed for data sharing and long-term archiving,
taking into account both data integrity and decoder availability.
The homepage is at http://www.nongnu.org/lzip/lunzip.html
The sources can be downloaded from
http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/lzip/lunzip/
The sha256sums are:

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, then run this command to import it:
gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 8FE99503132D7742
Key fingerprint = 1D41 C14B 272A 2219 A739 FA4F 8FE9 9503 132D 7742
Changes in version 1.12:
* Lunzip now reports an error if a file name is empty (lunzip -t "").
* Option '-o, --output' now behaves like '-c, --stdout', but sending the
output unconditionally to a file instead of to standard output. See the new
description of '-o' in the manual. This change is backwards compatible only
when decompressing from standard input alone. Therefore commands like:
lunzip -d -o foo - bar.lz < foo.lz
must now be split into:
lunzip -d -o foo - < foo.lz
lunzip -d bar.lz
or rewritten as:
lunzip -d - bar.lz < foo.lz > foo
* Lunzip now does not even open the output file if the input file is a
terminal.
* The words 'decompressed' and 'compressed' have been replaced with the
shorter 'out' and 'in' in the verbose output when decompressing or testing.
* Option '--list' now reports corruption or truncation of the last header
in a multimenber file specifically instead of showing the generic message
"Last member in input file is truncated or corrupt."
* The commands needed to extract files from a tar.lz archive have been
documented in the output of '--help' and in the man page.
* 9 new test files have been added to the testsuite.
Please send bug reports and suggestions to lzip-bug@nongnu.org

Antonio Diaz, lunzip author and maintainer.
