[Lzip-bug] Lunzip 1.9 released

I am pleased to announce the release of lunzip 1.9.

Lunzip is a decompressor for lzip files. It is written in C and its small size makes it well suited for embedded devices or software installers that need to decompress files but do not need compression capabilities. Lunzip is fully compatible with lzip-1.4 or newer and is able to decompress any lzip file using as little memory as 50 kB.

The lzip file format is designed for data sharing and long-term archiving, taking into account both data integrity and decoder availability.

The homepage is at http://www.nongnu.org/lzip/lunzip.html

The sources can be downloaded from http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/lzip/lunzip/

The sha256sums are:
839bdce1c424af1eafe93c751a36b1d85534662486f441f031388da0b723bc84 lunzip-1.9.tar.lz 58bcfb3006952753b82e2ae1d77307c3a47e5779dfd183d3c2e11b73596aa3ab lunzip-1.9.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 --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 8FE99503132D7742

Key fingerprint = 1D41 C14B 272A 2219 A739  FA4F 8FE9 9503 132D 7742


Changes in version 1.9:

  * The option '-l, --list' has been ported from lziprecover.

* It is now an error to specify two or more different operations in the command line (--decompress, --list or --test).

  * Decompression time has been reduced by 7%.

* In test mode, lunzip now continues checking the rest of the files if any input file is a terminal.

* Trailing data are now shown both in hexadecimal and as a string of printable ASCII characters.

Antonio Diaz, lunzip author and maintainer.
