|
2 | - IMPORTANT BUGFIX: a too long final literal run would corrupt data |
|
|
3 | in the encoder (this was introduced in 3.0 only, earlier versions |
|
|
4 | are safe). |

|
|
7 | - switched to 2-clause bsd with "GPL v2 or any later version" option. |
|
|
8 | - speed up compression by ~10-15% in common cases |
|
|
9 | by some manual unrolling. |
|
|
10 | - import some compiler tricks from JSON::XS, for further speed-ups. |
|
|
11 | - tune hash functions depending on ULTRA_FAST or VERY_FAST settings. |
|
|
12 | - for typical binary data (e.g. /bin/bash, memory dumps, |
|
|
13 | canterbury corpus etc.), speed is now comparable to fastlz, but |
|
|
14 | with better compression ratio. with ULTRA_FAST, it's typically |
|
|
15 | 3-15% faster than fastlz while still maintaining a similar ratio. |
|
|
16 | (amd64 and core 2 duo, ymmv). thanks a lot for the competition :) |
|
|
17 | - undo inline assembly in compressor, it is no longer helpful. |
|
|
18 | - no changes to the decompressor. |
|
|
19 | - use a HLOG of 16 by default now (formerly 15). |
