I am pleased to announce the release of plzip 0.9.

Plzip is a massively parallel (multi-threaded), 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. Plzip uses the lzip file format; the files produced by plzip are fully compatible with lzip-1.4 or newer.

Plzip is intended for faster compression/decompression of big files on multiprocessor machines, which makes it specially well suited for distribution of big software files and large scale data archiving. On files big enough, plzip can use hundreds of processors.

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

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

The md5sums are:
d8b9a3cbb9a91feedecc57ae2664a374  plzip-0.9.tar.gz
e348b7d074d7fd1d3430c702b0b78a2e  plzip-0.9.tar.lz


Changes in this version:

  * Minor fixes and cleanups.

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


Please send bug reports and suggestions to address@hidden

Antonio Diaz, plzip co-author and maintainer.
