Not all TIFFs compress well with Libbsc. +Fix DEBUG-STATS build for Dispack. +Use adapt2 as default compression in archive mode. +Add more filter auto-selection by compression level in archive mode. +Replace odd stride lengths in Delta2 with standard numeric type lengths and improve performance. +Remove fast path exit to allow compressing headers and zero paddings via LZ4. +Use libbsc for AVI and MP4 files. +Use Libbsc for MP4 and FLAC files. +Change some rare file type codes to indicate some common types. +Use Libbsc for TIFF images. +Workaround for packJPG limitation. +Remove external Libbsc option. +Add forked and optimized copy of LGPL version of Libbsc. +Strip out Sort Transform from Libbsc copy. +Reduce Libbsc memory use. +Avoid redundant adler32 of data block in Libbsc. +Use Libbsc for DNA Sequence data instead of PPMD. Faster, better compression. +Fix pz extension handling for real. +Avoid Delta2,LZP for TIFF files. Negatively impacts compression. +Use libbsc/ppmd for BMP files. +Fix extension based hashing. +Do not append .pz extension to filenames already having it. +Some code formatting changes. +Fix PackJPG library usage. PackJPG interface doc is incomplete, ugh! +Handle the case where PackJPG expands the file rather than compressing. +Fix Dispack decoding. +Add Dispack filter with auto-detection of x86 executables in archive mode. +More elaborate magic header based detection of 32-bit and 64-bit x86 binaries. +Always use fast-mode LZ4 in Adaptive modes. +Optimize preprocessed compression and avoid a bunch of memory copies. +Fix a crash. +Add a few more file types. +More comments. +Fix fd leak. +Fix issues when handling Jpegs where packJPG borks. +Add fast handling of totally incompressible data (like Jpegs) in adaptive modes. +Add function to indicate totally incompressible data when archiving. +Reformat if statements in some places to reduce branching. +Enable auto-filtering of archive entries based on compression level. +Miscellaneous fixes. +Work in progress changes for packJPG encoding and decoding. +Enhance custom LibArchive filter functionlity. +Add basic framework for file type based filters during libarchive stage. +Add packJPG filter for Jpeg files (not active yet). +Directory format changes for clarity. +Add own implementation of archive entry extraction to allow custom filters. +Fix magic number check for endianness. +Structured handling of file types. +Handling of already compressed data based on compression algorithm. +Add a few more extension types. +Leverage file type detection(archiver) to improve compression performance. +Use detected file/data type(archiver) for Adaptive compression modes. +Update type flags and add more extensions. +Add file type detection based on magic values. +Add extension based file type detection and setting segment data type. +Use Bob Jenkins Minimal Perfect Hash to check for known extensions. +Use semaphore signaling and direct buffer copy for extraction. +Clear off private xattrs when extracting. +Enable pathname sorting only for high compression levels. +Replace slow pipe with direct memory copy for archive extraction. +Avoid using pipe during archive creation. Use semaphores and direct memory copy. +Use mmap to read from the pathlist file for performance. +Functionality to sort pathnames based on file extension and size. +More changes for archiving. +Allow multiple filenames on command line when archiving. +Remove unneded small block writes with libarchive. +Make log_msg() add newline by default. +Archiving support using Libarchive. +Change all perror() calls to use logger. +Make the config script a little verbose. +Ability to specify output compressed pathname. +Fix log level handling. +Add a simple log facility. +Refactor all printfs to use log facility. +Cleanup pointer casting in code to use macros. + == 2.4 Bugfix Release == Add identifiers to error messages for clarity.
