I am pleased to announce the release of lzlib 1.15.
Lzlib is a data compression library providing in-memory LZMA compression and
decompression functions, including integrity checking of the decompressed
data. The compressed data format used by the library is the lzip format.
Lzlib is written in C and is distributed under a 2-clause BSD license.
Compression/decompression is done by repeatedly calling a couple of
read/write functions until all the data have been processed by the library.
This interface is safer and less error prone than the traditional zlib
interface.
The homepage is at http://www.nongnu.org/lzip/lzlib.html
The sources can be downloaded from
http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/lzip/lzlib/
The sha256sums are:

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 --recv-keys 8FE99503132D7742
Key fingerprint = 1D41 C14B 272A 2219 A739 FA4F 8FE9 9503 132D 7742
Changes in version 1.15:
* Lzlib now reports a nonzero first LZMA byte as a LZ_data_error.
* minilzip now exits with error status 2 if any empty member is found in
a multimember file.
* LZ_Errno, LZ_Encoder, and LZ_Decoder are now declared in lzlib.h as
typedef.
* The targets 'lib' and 'bin' have been added to Makefile.in. 'lib' is
the new default and builds just the library. 'bin' builds both the library
and minilzip.
* minilzip is no longer built by default.
* 'install-bin' installs minilzip and its man page again.
* To improve portability, the linker option '--soname' is now used
conditionally. (Reported by Michael Sullivan).
* The use of the target 'bin' has been documented in INSTALL.
Please send bug reports and suggestions to lzip-bug@nongnu.org
Regards,
Antonio Diaz, lzlib author and maintainer.

about the advantages of switching to lzip. See
