- Fix heap corruption in DICT Filter.
- Make default Dedup block size as 8KB.
- Revamp executable file handling: Part#1.
- Developed new E8E9 filter that works better than Dispack on raw data blocks.
- Remove block-based Dispack encoding. File-specific Dispack filter to be added.
- Improve file header based executable file detection.
- Introduce new sorting algorithm for filenames without extension.
Fix segment hashlist size computation.
Remove unnecessary sync of segment hashlist file writes.
Pass correct number of threads to index creation routine.
Add more error checks.
Handle correct positioning of segment hashlist file offset on write error.
Add missing semaphore signaling at dedupe abort points with global dedupe.
Use closer min-values sampling for improved segmented dedupe accuracy.
Update proper checksum info in README.
Always use segmented similarity bases dedupe when using -G option in pipe mode.
Standardize on average 8MB segment size for segmented dedupe.
Fix hashtable sizing.
Some miscellaneous cleanups.
Update README with details of new features.
Use chunk hash based similarity matching rather than content based.
Use sorting to order hash buffer rather than min-heap for better accuracy.
Use fast CRC64 for similarity hash for speed and lower memory requirements.
Use SSE4 register as sliding window for default 16-byte window size.
Use local variable for sliding window position to avoid spurios memory access in non-SIMD case.
Avoid computing breakpoint check value if processed length < minimum block length.
Avoid different optimization flags for Dedupe sources.
Fix liberal mixing of uint64_t and int64_t (should all be uint64_t).
Fix corner case crash when decompressing.
Change some function signatures to improve algo init function behavior.
Fix corner case dedupe bug in error handling flow.
Bump archive version signature.
Change hashing and length bias to reduce hashtable bucket collisions.
Add support for user-selectable 60% or 40% similarity for Delta Compression.
Overall slight speedup.
