-============================================================================
-User visible changes for LZO -- a real-time data compression library
-============================================================================
-
-Changes in 2.06 (12 Aug 2011)
- * Some minor optimizations for big-endian architectures.
- * Fixed overly strict malloc() misalignment check in examples.
-
-Changes in 2.05 (23 Apr 2011)
- * Converted the configure system to non-recursive Automake.
- * Applied some overdue speed optimizations for modern x86/x64 architectures
- and current compilers like gcc 4.6 and MSVC 2010.
-
-Changes in 2.04 (31 Oct 2010)
- * Fixed a gcc-4.5 aliasing issue in lzo_init().
- * Updated the configure system.
- * Assorted cleanups.
-
-Changes in 2.03 (30 Apr 2008)
- * 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.
-
-Changes in 2.02 (17 Oct 2005)
- * Updated the build and Autoconf scripts to fix some reported
- compilation problems.
-
-Changes in 2.01 (27 Jun 2005)
- * Changed the configure system to install the LZO library under the
- name "liblzo2" so that parallel installation with LZO v1 is possible.
- * Improved auto-configuration in miniLZO for some embedded targets like
- Blackfin and H8/300 processors.
-
-Changes in 2.00 (30 May 2005)
-
- [Library interface changes]
- * The 'lzo_uint' typedef has been changed to match 'size_t', which means
- it now is 64 bits on most 64-bit architectures. 32-bit machines
- are not affected by this change.
- * The formula for maximum expansion of incompressible data has changed.
- See doc/LZO.FAQ. 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!
