1 |
- switched to GPL v2 or any later version. |
2 |
- speed up compression by ~10-15% in common cases |
3 |
by some manual unrolling. |
4 |
- import some compiler tricks from JSON::XS. |
5 |
- tune hash functions depending on ULTRA_FAST or VERY_FAST settings. |
6 |
- for typical binary data (e.g. /bin/bash, memory dumps, |
7 |
canterbury corpus etc.), speed is now comparable to fastlz, but |
8 |
with better compression ratio. with ULTRA_FAST, it's typically |
9 |
3-8% faster than fastlz while still maintaining a similar ratio. |
10 |
(amd64, ymmv). thanks a lot for the competition :) |
11 |
- undo inline assembly, it is no longer helpful. |
12 |
|
13 |
2.1 Fri Nov 2 13:34:42 CET 2007 |
14 |
- switched to a 2-clause bsd license with GPL exception. |
15 |
- get rid of memcpy. |
16 |
- tentatively use rep movsb on x86 and x86_64 (gcc only) for a |
17 |
moderate speed improvement. |
18 |
- applied patch by Kein-Hong Man to maske lzf.c compile under |
19 |
the crippled mingw32 environment. |
20 |
|
21 |
2.0 Fri Feb 16 23:11:18 CET 2007 |
22 |
- replaced lzf demo by industrial-strength lzf utility with behaviour |
23 |
similar other compression utilities. Thanks for Stefan Traby for |
24 |
rewriting it! |
25 |
- fix state arg prototype. |
26 |
|
27 |
1.7 Wed Sep 27 17:29:15 CEST 2006 |
28 |
- remove bogus "unlzf" patch. |
29 |
note to self: never accept well-meant patches. |
30 |
- make lzf more robust in presence of padding bytes or sudden eof. |
31 |
|
32 |
1.6 Fri Jul 7 17:31:26 CEST 2006 |
33 |
- the lzf example utility will now uncompress if invoked |
34 |
as "unlzf" (patch by Scott Feeney). |
35 |
- add CHECK_INPUT option that adds more checks for input |
36 |
data validity. |
37 |
- help applications that do not pass in the correct length |
38 |
(such as php) by returning either EINVAL or E2BIG. |
39 |
- default HLOG size is now 15 (cpu caches have increased). |
40 |
- documentation fixes. |
41 |
|
42 |
1.51 Thu Apr 14 22:15:46 CEST 2005 |
43 |
- incorporated C♯ implementation of both the en- and decoder, |
44 |
written by "Oren J. Maurice <oymaurice@hazorea.org.il>". |
45 |
You can find it in the cs/ subdirectory. |
46 |
- make FRST, NEXT IDX overridable if lzf_c.c is directly included |
47 |
in the code. |
48 |
|
49 |
1.5 Tue Mar 8 20:23:23 CET 2005 |
50 |
- incorporated improvements by Adam D. Moss, |
51 |
which includes a new VERY_FAST mode which is |
52 |
a bit slower than ULTRA_FAST but much better, |
53 |
and enabled it as default. |
54 |
|
55 |
1.401 Thu Mar 3 18:00:52 CET 2005 |
56 |
- use cstring in c++, not string.h. |
57 |
- change of contact address. |
58 |
|
59 |
1.4 Wed Dec 15 08:08:49 CET 2004 |
60 |
- very very slight tuning of the hashing function. |
61 |
|
62 |
1.3 Thu Mar 25 15:41:17 CET 2004 |
63 |
- changed license of lzf core code to explicitly allow |
64 |
relicensing under the GPLv2. |
65 |
- added VPATH support as suggested by Björn Eriksson. |
66 |
|
67 |
1.2 Mon Dec 29 13:47:28 CET 2003 |
68 |
- avoid spurious memory accesses after the to-be-compressed |
69 |
memory region. originally reported by Michal Zalewski. |
70 |
- flip LZF_STACK_ARG meaning (to be correct). |
71 |
|
72 |
1.1 Tue Dec 23 05:48:32 CET 2003 |
73 |
- removed #warn directive, it's not worth the hassle. |
74 |
- add LZF_STACK_ARG and AVOID_ERRNO configurations |
75 |
for embedded systems. |
76 |
- make it compile cleanly as c++. |
77 |
- some small documentation and code fixes. |
78 |
|
79 |
1.0 Sun Nov 17 12:37:37 CET 2002 |
80 |
- slightly better compression ratio, almost unmeasurably |
81 |
slower. |
82 |
- some documentation fixes. |
83 |
