Compressing speed and memory requirements for compressing were increased 90 - LZMA now can use only these match finders: HC4, BT2, BT3, BT4 91 92 93 4.32 2005-12-09 94 ------------------------- 95 - Java version of LZMA SDK was included 96 97 98 4.30 2005-11-20 99 ------------------------- 100 - Compression ratio was improved in -a2 mode 101 - Speed optimizations for compressing in -a2 mode 102 - -fb switch now supports values up to 273 103 - The bug in 7z_C (7zIn.c) was fixed: 104 It used Alloc/Free functions from different memory pools. 105 So if program used two memory pools, it worked incorrectly. 106 - 7z_C: .7z format supporting was improved 107 - LZMA# SDK (C#.NET version) was included 108 109 110 4.27 (Updated) 2005-09-21 111 ------------------------- 112 - Some GUIDs/interfaces in C++ were changed. 113 IStream.h: 114 ISequentialInStream::Read now works as old ReadPart 115 ISequentialOutStream::Write now works as old WritePart 116 117 118 4.27 2005-08-07 119 ------------------------- 120 - The bug in LzmaDecodeSize.c was fixed: 121 if _LZMA_IN_CB and _LZMA_OUT_READ were defined, 122 decompressing worked incorrectly. 123 124 125 4.26 2005-08-05 126 ------------------------- 127 - Fixes in 7z_C code and LzmaTest.c: 128 previous versions could work incorrectly, 129 if malloc(0) returns 0 130 131 132 4.23 2005-06-29 133 ------------------------- 134 - Small fixes in C++ code 135 136 137 4.22 2005-06-10 138 ------------------------- 139 - Small fixes 140 141 142 4.21 2005-06-08 143 ------------------------- 144 - Interfaces for ANSI-C LZMA Decoder (LzmaDecode.c) were changed 145 -

The bug was fixed in LzmaDecode.c (ANSI-C LZMA Decoder): 166 If _LZMA_OUT_READ was defined, and if encoded stream was corrupted, 167 decoder could access memory outside of allocated range. 168 - Speed optimization of ANSI-C LZMA Decoder (now it's about 20% faster). 169 Old version of LZMA Decoder now is in file LzmaDecodeSize.c. 170 LzmaDecodeSize.c can provide slightly smaller code than LzmaDecode.c 171 - Small speed optimization in LZMA C++ code 172 - filter for SPARC's code was added 173 - Simplified version of .7z ANSI-C Decoder was included 174 175 176 4.06 2004-09-05 177 ------------------------- 178 -

It measures compressing 197 and decompressing speed and shows rating values. 198 Also it checks hardware errors. 199 200 201 4.02 2004-06-10 202 ------------------------- 203 - C++ LZMA Encoder/Decoder code now is more portable 204 and it can be compiled by GCC on Linux. 205 206 207 4.01 2004-02-15 208 ------------------------- 209 - Some detection of data corruption was enabled. 210 LzmaDecode.c / RangeDecoderReadByte 211 ..... 212 { 213 rd->ExtraBytes = 1; 214 return 0xFF; 215 } 216 217 218 4.00 2004-02-13 219 ------------------------- 220 - Original version of LZMA SDK 221 222 223 224 HISTORY of the LZMA 225 ------------------- 226 2001-2008: Improvements to LZMA compressing/decompressing code, 227 keeping compatibility with original LZMA format 228 1996-2001: Development of LZMA compression format 229 230 Some milestones: 231 232 2001-08-30: LZMA compression was added to 7-Zip 233 1999-01-02: First version of 7-Zip was released 234 235 236 End of document 237
