I am pleased to announce the release of clzip 1.15.
Clzip is a C language version of lzip intended for systems lacking a C++
compiler.
Lzip is a lossless data compressor with a user interface similar to the one
of gzip or bzip2. Lzip uses a simplified form of LZMA (Lempel-Ziv-Markov
chain-Algorithm) designed to achieve complete interoperability between
implementations. The maximum dictionary size is 512 MiB so that any lzip
file can be decompressed on 32-bit machines. Lzip provides accurate and
robust 3-factor integrity checking. 'lzip -0' compresses about as fast as
gzip, while 'lzip -9' compresses most files more than bzip2. Decompression
speed is intermediate between gzip and bzip2. Lzip provides better data
recovery capabilities than gzip and bzip2. Lzip has been designed, written,
and tested with great care to replace gzip and bzip2 as general-purpose
compressed format for Unix-like systems.

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:
* clzip now exits with error status 2 if any empty member is found in a
multimember file.
* clzip now exits with error status 2 if the first byte of the LZMA
stream is not 0.
* Options '--empty-error' and '--marking-error' have been removed.
* The chapter 'Syntax of command-line arguments' has been added to the
manual.
Please send bug reports and suggestions to lzip-bug@nongnu.org

Antonio Diaz, clzip author and maintainer.

If you know someone who is using gzip, bzip2, or xz, please tell him/her
about the advantages of switching to lzip. See
