[Lzip-bug] Lzd 1.5 released

[Antonio Diaz Diaz]

I am pleased to announce the release of lzd 1.5.

Lzd is a simplified decompressor for the lzip format with an educational 
purpose. Studying its source code is a good first step to understand how 
lzip works. Lzd is written in C++.

The source code of lzd is used in the lzip manual as a reference 
decompressor in the description of the lzip file format. Reading the lzip 
manual will help you understand the source code. Lzd is compliant with the 
lzip specification.

The source code of lzd is also used as a reference in the description of the 
media type 'application/lzip' http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-diaz-lzip

Comments about the internet draft above are solicited and should be 
addressed to the lzip's mailing list at lzip-bug@nongnu.org and/or the 
author. Thanks.

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

Changes in version 1.5:

  * lzd now exits with error status 2 if any empty member is found in a 
multimember file.

  * lzd now exits with error status 2 if the first byte of the LZMA stream 
is not 0.


Regards,
Antonio Diaz, lzd author and maintainer.
