23.2 2TODO: try unaligned copy again in decompressor
3TODO: allow size-optimised binaries by avoiding unrolling
4TODO: implement lzf_c_best in lzf.
5TODO: fix lzf_c_best.

73.7 (unreleased)
8 - add lzf_c_best.c, a slower but better compressor.
9 - switch to a multiplicative hash (developed with Steinar Gunderson),
10 which is faster on modern cpus and compresses a bit better. The old
11 hash function which uses only shifts is still available.
12 - allow user configurable hash table slots, which makes it possible
13 to use e.g. 16 bit offsets for a smaller hashtable (if your data is
14 always < 64kb).
15 - use _WIN32, not WIN32, when testing for windows (fails with bcc),
16 patch by Tamas Tevesz.
17 - try to port to win64+gcc, which is non-posix but doesn't have _int64
18 (reported by Maciej Adamczyk).

21 - fixed hash calculation in C♯ version (Tiago Freitas Leal).
22 - unroll copy for small sizes, use memcpy for larger sizes,
23 greatly speeding up decompression in most cases.
24 - finally disable rep movsb - it's a big loss on modern intel cpus,
25 and only a small win on amd cpus.
26 - improve C++ compatibility of the code.
27 - slightly improve compressor speed.
28 - halved memory requirements for compressor on 64 bit architectures,
29 which can improve the speed quite a bit on older cpus.

32 - lzf_compress did sometimes write one octet past the given output
33 buffer (analyzed and nice testcase by Salvatore Sanfilippo).

353.4 Tue Sep 2 06:45:00 CEST 2008
36 - the fix from 3.3 introduced a compression bug, which is fixed in
37 this release (which explains the mysterious prerelease...). Thanks
38 once more to Clément Calmels.

41 - lzf_compress could access memory after the given input buffer
42 when outputting back references. reported with nice testcase
43 by Clément Calmels.
