1 1
23.2 2TODO: try unaligned copy again in decompressor
3TODO: allow size-optimised binaries by avoiding unrolling
4TODO: implement lzf_c_best in lzf.
5
63.8 (unreleased)
7 - support a state arg for lzf_c_best.
8
93.7 (unreleased)
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),
18 patch by Tamas Tevesz.
19 - try to port to win64+gcc, which is non-posix but doesn't have _int64
20 (reported by Maciej Adamczyk).

223.6 Mon Feb 7 17:37:31 CET 2011
23 - fixed hash calculation in C♯ version (Tiago Freitas Leal).
24 - unroll copy for small sizes, use memcpy for larger sizes,
25 greatly speeding up decompression in most cases.
26 - finally disable rep movsb - it's a big loss on modern intel cpus,
27 and only a small win on amd cpus.
28 - improve C++ compatibility of the code.
29 - slightly improve compressor speed.
30 - halved memory requirements for compressor on 64 bit architectures,
31 which can improve the speed quite a bit on older cpus.
32
333.5 Fri May 1 02:28:42 CEST 2009
34 - lzf_compress did sometimes write one octet past the given output
35 buffer (analyzed and nice testcase by Salvatore Sanfilippo).
36
373.4 Tue Sep 2 06:45:00 CEST 2008
38 - the fix from 3.3 introduced a compression bug, which is fixed in
39 this release (which explains the mysterious prerelease...). Thanks
40 once more to Clément Calmels.

423.3 Mon Aug 25 03:17:42 CEST 2008
43 - lzf_compress could access memory after the given input buffer
44 when outputting back references. reported with nice testcase
45 by Clément Calmels.
