[Lzip-bug] Lunzip 1.12 released

[Antonio Diaz Diaz]

I am pleased to announce the release of lunzip 1.12.

Lunzip is a decompressor for the lzip format written in C. Its small size 
makes it well suited for embedded devices or software installers that need 
to decompress files but don't need compression capabilities. Lunzip is fully 
compatible with lzip 1.4 or newer and is able to decompress any lzip file 
using as little memory as 50 kB.

The lzip file format is designed for data sharing and long-term archiving, 
taking into account both data integrity and decoder availability.

The homepage is at http://www.nongnu.org/lzip/lunzip.html

The sources can be downloaded from

This release is also GPG signed. You can download the signature by appending 
'.sig' to the URL. If the 'gpg --verify' command fails because you don't 
have the required public key, then run this command to import it:

  gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 8FE99503132D7742

Key fingerprint = 1D41 C14B 272A 2219 A739  FA4F 8FE9 9503 132D 7742


Changes in version 1.12:

  * Lunzip now reports an error if a file name is empty (lunzip -t "").

  * Option '-o, --output' now behaves like '-c, --stdout', but sending the 
output unconditionally to a file instead of to standard output. See the new 
description of '-o' in the manual. This change is backwards compatible only 
when decompressing from standard input alone. Therefore commands like:
  lunzip -d -o foo - bar.lz < foo.lz
must now be split into:
  lunzip -d -o foo - < foo.lz
  lunzip -d bar.lz
or rewritten as:
  lunzip -d - bar.lz < foo.lz > foo

  * Lunzip now does not even open the output file if the input file is a 
terminal.

  * The words 'decompressed' and 'compressed' have been replaced with the 
shorter 'out' and 'in' in the verbose output when decompressing or testing.

  * Option '--list' now reports corruption or truncation of the last header 
in a multimenber file specifically instead of showing the generic message 
"Last member in input file is truncated or corrupt."

  * The commands needed to extract files from a tar.lz archive have been 
documented in the output of '--help' and in the man page.

  * 9 new test files have been added to the testsuite.
