1 | 2.2 |
|
|
2 | - switched to 2-clause bsd with "GPL v2 or any later version" option. |
|
|
3 | - speed up compression by ~10-15% in common cases |
|
|
4 | by some manual unrolling. |
|
|
5 | - import some compiler tricks from JSON::XS, for further speed-ups. |
|
|
6 | - tune hash functions depending on ULTRA_FAST or VERY_FAST settings. |
|
|
7 | - for typical binary data (e.g. /bin/bash, memory dumps, |
|
|
8 | canterbury corpus etc.), speed is now comparable to fastlz, but |
|
|
9 | with better compression ratio. with ULTRA_FAST, it's typically |
|
|
10 | 3-15% faster than fastlz while still maintaining a similar ratio. |
|
|
11 | (amd64 and core 2 duo, ymmv). thanks a lot for the competition :) |
|
|
12 | - undo inline assembly in compressor, it is no longer helpful. |
|
|
13 | - no changes to the decompressor. |
|
|
14 | - use a HLOG of 16 by default now (formerly 15). |
|
|
15 | |
|
|
16 | 2.1 Fri Nov 2 13:34:42 CET 2007 |
|
|
17 | - switched to a 2-clause bsd license with GPL exception. |
|
|
18 | - get rid of memcpy. |
|
|
19 | - tentatively use rep movsb on x86 and x86_64 (gcc only) for a |
|
|
20 | moderate speed improvement. |
|
|
21 | - applied patch by Kein-Hong Man to maske lzf.c compile under |
|
|
22 | the crippled mingw32 environment. |
|
|
23 | |
|
|
24 | 2.0 Fri Feb 16 23:11:18 CET 2007 |
|
|
25 | - replaced lzf demo by industrial-strength lzf utility with behaviour |
|
|
26 | similar other compression utilities. Thanks for Stefan Traby for |
|
|
27 | rewriting it! |
|
|
28 | - fix state arg prototype. |
|
|
29 | |
|
|
30 | 1.7 Wed Sep 27 17:29:15 CEST 2006 |
|
|
31 | - remove bogus "unlzf" patch. |
|
|
32 | note to self: never accept well-meant patches. |
|
|
33 | - make lzf more robust in presence of padding bytes or sudden eof. |
|
|
34 | |
|
|
35 | 1.6 Fri Jul 7 17:31:26 CEST 2006 |
|
|
36 | - the lzf example utility will now uncompress if invoked |
|
|
37 | as "unlzf" (patch by Scott Feeney). |
|
|
38 | - add CHECK_INPUT option that adds more checks for input |
|
|
39 | data validity. |
|
|
40 | - help applications that do not pass in the correct length |
|
|
41 | (such as php) by returning either EINVAL or E2BIG. |
|
|
42 | - default HLOG size is now 15 (cpu caches have increased). |
|
|
43 | - documentation fixes. |
|
|
44 | |
|
|
45 | 1.51 Thu Apr 14 22:15:46 CEST 2005 |
|
|
46 | - incorporated C♯ implementation of both the en- and decoder, |
|
|
47 | written by "Oren J. Maurice <oymaurice@hazorea.org.il>". |
|
|
48 | You can find it in the cs/ subdirectory. |
|
|
49 | - make FRST, NEXT IDX overridable if lzf_c.c is directly included |
|
|
50 | in the code. |
|
|
51 | |
|
|
52 | 1.5 Tue Mar 8 20:23:23 CET 2005 |
|
|
53 | - incorporated improvements by Adam D. Moss, |
|
|
54 | which includes a new VERY_FAST mode which is |
|
|
55 | a bit slower than ULTRA_FAST but much better, |
|
|
56 | and enabled it as default. |
|
|
57 | |
|
|
58 | 1.401 Thu Mar 3 18:00:52 CET 2005 |
|
|
59 | - use cstring in c++, not string.h. |
|
|
60 | - change of contact address. |
|
