lzip-1.23-bp156.2.7

- Update to release 1.23
  * Decompression time has been reduced by 5-12% depending on the
    file.
  * In case of error in a numerical argument to a command line
    option, lzip now shows the name of the option and the range
    of valid values.

- update to 1.22:
  * Lzip now reports an error if a file name is empty (lzip -t "").
  * Option '-o, --output' now behaves like '-c, --stdout', but
    sending the output unconditionally to a file instead of to
    standard output.
  * Lzip now does not even open the output file if the input file
    is a terminal.
  * Lzip can now be built, tested, and installed on systems
    lacking a 'make' program. (Feature suggested by Mohammad
    Akhlaghi).
  * 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 manual, in the output of '--help',
    and in the man page.
  * Plzip and tarlz are mentioned in the manual as alternatives for
    multiprocessors.
  * Several fixes and improvements have been made to the manual.

  * The test used by clzip to discriminate trailing data from a
    corrupt header in multimember or concatenated files has been
    improved to a Hamming distance of 3.
  * The "-S" option now keeps input files unchanged.

- Update to version 1.19

  * lzip.texi: Added chapter 'Trailing data'.
  * configure: Avoid warning on some shells when testing for g++.
  * Makefile.in: Detect the existence of install-info.
  * testsuite/check.sh: A POSIX shell is required to run the tests.
  * testsuite/check.sh: Don't check error messages.

- Update to new upstream release 1.17

  the fast encoder to clzip and lzlib.
  * The new chapter "Quality assurance" has been added to the manual.

- Update to new upstream release 1.16
  * Compression ratio of option -9 has been slightly increased.
  * Compression time has been reduced by 4%.
  * `lzip -0` is now comparable in compression speed and ratio to
  `gzip -6` (gzip's default compression level).
  * Copying of file dates, permissions, and ownership now behaves
  like `cp -p`. (If the user ID or the group ID cannot be
  duplicated, the file permission bits S_ISUID and S_ISGID are
  cleared).
  * The license has been changed to GPL version 2 or later.

- Update to new upstream release 1.15
  * This release shows the progress of compression at verbosity
  level 2 (-vv).
  * The chapter "Stream format" and the appendix "Reference source
  code" have been added to the manual.

- update to 1.14:
  * Multi-step trials have been implemented
  * Compression ratio has been slightly increased
  * Compression time has been reduced by 5%
  * Decompression time has been reduced by 12%

- license update: GPL-3.0+
  Use SPDX format (http://www.spdx.org/licenses)

- update to 1.13:
  * lziprecover has been moved to its own package

    slightly increased, and compression time has been reduced by up to 6%

    when only one "-v" is specified

    types that can't be read (directories, etc)

- update to 1.11:
  * match length limit set by options -1 to -8 has been reduced to extend the
    range of use towards gzip; lower numbers now compress less but faster
  * also, a "-0" option as fast as "gzip -9" has been added
  * the compression of option -9 has been slightly increased
  * the "--merge" option, which tries to produce a correct file by merging the

    file approaches 100 percent
  * lziprecover is now able to repair any 1-byte error in the lzma stream of
    damaged lzip files
