2TODO: try unaligned copy again in decompressor
3TODO: allow size-optimised binaries by avoiding unrolling
4
5 - switch to a multiplicative hash (developed with Steinar Gunderson),
6 which is faster on modern cpus and compresses a bit better. The old
7 hash function which uses only shifts is still available.
8 - allow user configurable hash table slots, which makes it possible
9 to use e.g. 16 bit offsets for a smaller hashtable (if your data is
10 always < 64kb).
11 - use _WIN32, not WIN32, when testing for windows (fails with bcc),
12 patch by Tamas Tevesz.
13 - try to port to win64+gcc, which is non-posix but has not _int64
14 (reported by Maciej Adamczyk).

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

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

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