12.2
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).

2 - remove bogus broken horrific "unlzf" patch by Scott Feeney, 162.1 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.

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.
