This is needed for some upcoming speed improvements, - and also for compatibility with our commercial LZO Professional product. - * The progress indicator callback interface has been revamped. - * All public header files now get installed into a "lzo" subdirectory, so - your applications should use #include <lzo/lzoXXX.h>. - * A number of (internal) macros have been renamed. See LZO_CFG_COMPAT - in <lzo/lzoconf.h> if your code depends on these. - - [Speed] - * Small overall speedup by exploiting features like branch prediction - hints and explicit inline control present in modern C/C++ compilers. - * Significant speedup for 64-bit architectures like AMD64. - - [Portability] - * LZO now fully supports the LLP64 programming model. - * LZO now fully supports the ILP64 and SILP64 programming models which - are used on some supercomputing architectures. - * Full Win64 support for AMD64 (aka x64) and IA64 (Itanium). - * Full 16-bit support for ancient DOS 286 protected mode, OS/2 1.x - and Windows 3.x. - * The LZO library now compiles and works on completely freestanding or - embedded systems as long as you have <limits.h> and <stddef.h> header - files.
