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:
9d45480e7c8171c64fa1d5beee2cbd82e69febe910f0ce628b876a8fe2141534 lzlib-1.15.tar.lz 4afab907a46d5a7d14e927a1080c3f4d7e3ca5a0f9aea81747d8fed0292377ff lzlib-1.15.tar.gz

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.
