|
|
10 | - add lzf_c_best.c, a slower but better compressor. |
|
|
11 | - switch to a multiplicative hash (developed with Steinar Gunderson), |
|
|
12 | which is faster on modern cpus and compresses a bit better. The old |
|
|
13 | hash function which uses only shifts is still available. |
|
|
14 | - allow user configurable hash table slots, which makes it possible |
|
|
15 | to use e.g. 16 bit offsets for a smaller hashtable (if your data is |
|
|
16 | always < 64kb). |
|
|
17 | - use _WIN32, not WIN32, when testing for windows (fails with bcc), |
|
|

|
|
19 | - try to port to win64+gcc, which is non-posix but doesn't have _int64 |
