I am pleased to announce the release of lzd 1.1.

Lzd is a simplified decompressor for the lzip format with an educational purpose. Studying its source is a good first step to understand how lzip works. It is not safe to use lzd for any real work.

The source of lzd is used in the lzip manual as a reference decompressor in the description of the lzip file format. Reading the lzip manual will help you understand the source.

Lzd decompresses from standard input to standard output. Lzd will correctly decompress the concatenation of two or more compressed files. The result is the concatenation of the corresponding decompressed data. Integrity of such concatenated compressed input is also verified.

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

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

The sha256sums are:
21182c16033c0c4e7a1f22eb1a1041195d0903bd6d69fb1a2bdc2331ab9d3a81 lzd-1.1.tar.lz 43cd1c70cc93646869e0a0a2370e99d22021ad0f3aec43cce5fdc358a4b4ec2e lzd-1.1.tar.gz


Changes in version 1.1:

  * All 'File_*' identifiers in the source have been renamed to 'Lzip_*'.

  * Lzd now should compile on DOS with DJGPP.

* The configure script now accepts appending options to CXXFLAGS using the syntax 'CXXFLAGS+=OPTIONS'.


Regards,
Antonio Diaz, lzd author and maintainer.
