1
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.

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

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

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

34 - the fix from 3.3 introduced a compression bug, which is fixed in
35 this release (which explains the mysterious prerelease...). Thanks
36 once more to Clément Calmels.
