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. See the B/generic/build_freestanding.sh build script. - - [Misc] - * The i386 assembler versions of the decompressors are now automatically - built and installed. See also asm/i386/00README.TXT. - * Added include file <lzo/lzo_asm.h> that provides prototypes for all - assembler functions. - * Under MacOS X, the configure script now will use the '-no-cpp-precomp' - compiler option in order to work around bugs in some versions of - Apple's native "smart" preprocessor. - * Worked around a preprocessor bug that is present in all compilers which - are based on the lcc compiler kit. - * Added simple B/generic/build.sh build script family. - * Added lots of new build scripts for various DOS/Windows compilers. - - [Upgrade instructions from LZO v1 to LZO v2] - * On 64-bit architectures, revisit all uses of lzo_uint. - * Adapt for the maximum expansion change of incompressible data. - * If you use the progress callback then adapt for the new interface. - * Use #include <lzo/lzoXXX.h> or adjust your include path. - * Check your code for use of deprecated macros. Add a - #define LZO_CFG_COMPAT if necessary. - * Other than that LZO v2 should be fully source-compatible with LZO v1. - Of course, the compressed data is fully compatible as well. - * Re-compile and re-link your application. - * Enjoy the improvements! - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -Changes in 1.08 (12 Jul 2002) - * Much better support for cross compiling. - * Straighten out ANSI-conforming compiler checks. - * Avoid harmless compiler warnings reported by -Wcast-align. - * Fixed some sign extension problems on rather exotic machines where - sizeof(size_t) < sizeof(ptrdiff_t) and sizeof(lzo_uint) == sizeof(size_t) - * Updated the configure system to use the latest Autoconf, Automake - and Libtool versions. - -Changes in 1.07 (18 Oct 2000) - * Default to '--disable-shared' (I'm getting tired of Libtool's - shared library build problems, this time AIX was the culprit). - * Avoid some harmless compiler warnings. - -Changes in 1.06 (29 Nov 1999) - * Updated the configure system to use Autoconf 2.13, Automake 1.4 and - Libtool 1.3.3.
