1 1
2 - remove bogus while after for { }, reported by oesi. 2 - fixed hash calculation in C♯ version (Tiago Freitas Leal).
3 - unroll copy for small sizes, use memcpy for larger sizes,
4 greatly speeding up decompression in most cases.
5 - finally disable rep movsb - it's a big loss on modern intel cpus,
6 and only a small win on amd cpus.
7 - improve c++ compatibility of the code.
8 - slightly improve compressor speed.

103.5 Fri May 1 02:28:42 CEST 2009
11 - lzf_compress did sometimes write one octet past the given output
12 buffer (analyzed and nice testcase by Salvatore Sanfilippo).
13
143.4 Tue Sep 2 06:45:00 CEST 2008
15 - the fix from 3.3 introduced a compression bug, which is fixed in
16 this release (which explains the mysterious prerelease...). Thanks
17 once more to Clément Calmels.

193.3 Mon Aug 25 03:17:42 CEST 2008
20 - lzf_compress could access memory after the given input buffer
21 when outputting back references. reported with nice testcase
22 by Clément Calmels.
23
243.2 Fri May 9 18:52:23 CEST 2008
25 - include a workaround for failing POSIX and real-world compliance
26 on 64 bit windows (microsoft claims to support POSIX, but is far
27 from it). (bug found and analysed nicely by John Lilley).

293.1 Fri Nov 30 11:33:04 CET 2007
30 - IMPORTANT BUGFIX: a too long final literal run would corrupt data
31 in the encoder (this was introduced in 3.0 only, earlier versions
32 are safe).
33
343.0 Tue Nov 13 22:13:09 CET 2007
35 - switched to 2-clause bsd with "GPL v2 or any later version" option.
36 - speed up compression by ~10-15% in common cases
37 by some manual unrolling.
38 - import some compiler tricks from JSON::XS, for further speed-ups.
39 - tune hash functions depending on ULTRA_FAST or VERY_FAST settings.
40 - for typical binary data (e.g. /bin/bash, memory dumps,
41 canterbury corpus etc.), speed is now comparable to fastlz, but
42 with better compression ratio. with ULTRA_FAST, it's typically
43 3-15% faster than fastlz while still maintaining a similar ratio.
44 (amd64 and core 2 duo, ymmv). thanks a lot for the competition :)
45 - undo inline assembly in compressor, it is no longer helpful.
46 - no changes to the decompressor.
47 - use a HLOG of 16 by default now (formerly 15).
48
492.1 Fri Nov 2 13:34:42 CET 2007
50 - switched to a 2-clause bsd license with GPL exception.
51 - get rid of memcpy.
52 - tentatively use rep movsb on x86 and x86_64 (gcc only) for a
53 moderate speed improvement.
54 - applied patch by Kein-Hong Man to maske lzf.c compile under
55 the crippled mingw32 environment.
56
572.0 Fri Feb 16 23:11:18 CET 2007
58 - replaced lzf demo by industrial-strength lzf utility with behaviour
59 similar other compression utilities. Thanks for Stefan Traby for
60 rewriting it!
61 - fix state arg prototype.

10 - the lzf example utility will now uncompress if invoked 69 - the lzf example utility will now uncompress if invoked
16 - default HLOG size is now 15 (cpu caches have increased). 75 - default HLOG size is now 15 (cpu caches have increased).
17 - documentation fixes. 76 - documentation fixes.
