|
2 | - use _WIN32, not WIN32, when testing for windows (fails with bcc), |

|
|
6 | - fixed hash calculation in C♯ version (Tiago Freitas Leal). |
|
|
7 | - unroll copy for small sizes, use memcpy for larger sizes, |
|
|
8 | greatly speeding up decompression in most cases. |
|
|
9 | - finally disable rep movsb - it's a big loss on modern intel cpus, |
|
|
10 | and only a small win on amd cpus. |
|
|
11 | - improve C++ compatibility of the code. |
|
|
12 | - slightly improve compressor speed. |
|
|
13 | - halved memory requirements for compressor on 64 bit architectures, |
|
|
14 | which can improve the speed quite a bit on older cpus. |
|

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

|
20 | 3.4 Tue Sep 2 06:45:00 CEST 2008 |
|
|
21 | - the fix from 3.3 introduced a compression bug, which is fixed in |
|
|
22 | this release (which explains the mysterious prerelease...). Thanks |
|
|
23 | once more to Clément Calmels. |

25 | 3.3 Mon Aug 25 03:17:42 CEST 2008 |
|
|
26 | - lzf_compress could access memory after the given input buffer |
|
|
27 | when outputting back references. reported with nice testcase |
|
|
28 | by Clément Calmels. |

30 | 3.2 Fri May 9 18:52:23 CEST 2008 |
|
|
31 | - include a workaround for failing POSIX and real-world compliance |
|
|
32 | on 64 bit windows (microsoft claims to support POSIX, but is far |
|
|
33 | from it). (bug found and analysed nicely by John Lilley). |

35 | 3.1 Fri Nov 30 11:33:04 CET 2007 |
|
|
36 | - IMPORTANT BUGFIX: a too long final literal run would corrupt data |
|
|
37 | in the encoder (this was introduced in 3.0 only, earlier versions |
|
|
38 | are safe). |
|
|
39 | |
|
|
40 | 3.0 Tue Nov 13 22:13:09 CET 2007 |
|
|
41 | - switched to 2-clause bsd with "GPL v2 or any later version" option. |
|
|
42 | - speed up compression by ~10-15% in common cases |
|
|
43 | by some manual unrolling. |
|
|
44 | - import some compiler tricks from JSON::XS, for further speed-ups. |
|
|
45 | - tune hash functions depending on ULTRA_FAST or VERY_FAST settings. |
|
|
46 | - for typical binary data (e.g. /bin/bash, memory dumps, |
|
|
47 | canterbury corpus etc.), speed is now comparable to fastlz, but |
|
|
48 | with better compression ratio. with ULTRA_FAST, it's typically |
|
|
49 | 3-15% faster than fastlz while still maintaining a similar ratio. |
|
|
50 | (amd64 and core 2 duo, ymmv). thanks a lot for the competition :) |
|
|
51 | - undo inline assembly in compressor, it is no longer helpful. |
|
|
52 | - no changes to the decompressor. |
|
|
53 | - use a HLOG of 16 by default now (formerly 15). |
