lz4

Version 0.9 was submitted on February 27, 2011. Multi-threading optimizations. (-t defines number of threads.)

v1.0 was submitted on September 18, 2011.

v1.3 was submitted on October 17, 2011. Changes include: "-c1 mode can now be multithreaded, -c2 mode is slightly faster, new dynamic memory allocation strategy should use less memory (especially for decoding)".

(Have info that should be added here? E-mail.)


Note that we use identical -t switch for decompression.
