[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: {liblzo2/liblzo2_2/liblzo2-devel}-2.03-1: A data compression library which is suitable for data de-/compression in real-time


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.
