- Update to 1.12:
* see included NEWS
* The value of the version test macro 'LZ_API_VERSION' is now defined as
1000 * major + minor. For version 1.12 it is 1012.
* The new function 'LZ_api_version', which returns the LZ_API_VERSION of the
library object code being used, has been added to lzlib.
* Decompression speed has been slightly increased.
* The new option '--check-lib', which compares the version of lzlib used to
compile minilzip with the version actually being used, has been added to
minilzip.
* Minilzip now reports an error if a file name is empty (minilzip -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 not backwards compatible.
Therefore commands like:
minilzip -o foo.lz - bar < foo
must now be split into:
minilzip -o foo.lz - < foo
minilzip bar
or rewritten as:
minilzip - bar < foo > foo.lz
* When using '-c' or '-o', minilzip now checks whether the output is a
terminal only once.
* The words 'decompressed' and 'compressed' have been replaced with the
shorter 'out' and 'in' in the verbose output of minilzip when decompressing
or testing.
* It has been documented in the manual that 'LZ_(de)compress_close' and
'LZ_(de)compress_errno' can be called with a null argument.
* Bugfixes, documentation updates
