Hi
New versions of 'liblzo2/liblzo2_2/liblzo2-devel' have been uploaded to a server near you.
Cygwin NEWS:
============
* Routine update
liblzo2 NEWS:
===============
* Updated the ELF assembler sources to mark the stack as non-executable.
* Fixed a HP-UX 11 build issue with Itanium in ILP32 mode.
* Updated the configure system.
DESCRIPTION:
============
LZO is a data compression library which is suitable for data de-/compression in real-time.
This means it favours speed over compression ratio.
LZO implements a number of algorithms with the following features:
* Decompression is simple and *very* fast.
* Requires no memory for decompression.
* Compression is pretty fast.
* Requires 64 kB of memory for compression.
* Allows you to dial up extra compression at a speed cost in the compressor. The speed of the decompressor is not reduced.
* Includes compression levels for generating pre-compressed data which achieve a quite competitive compression ratio.
* There is also a compression level which needs only 8 kB for compression.
* Algorithm is thread safe.
* Algorithm is lossless.
LZO supports overlapping compression and in-place decompression.
