From b85a156a14f4d768d90c9eb260e841fabaea171f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paul Menzel Date: Tue, 26 Feb 2019 12:22:54 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] lz4: Update version from 1.8.2 to 1.8.3 [Release notes][1]: > This is maintenance release, mainly triggered by issue #560. > > #560 is a data corruption that can only occur in v1.8.2, at level 9 > (only), for some "large enough" data blocks (> 64 KB), featuring a > fairly specific data pattern, improbable enough that multiple cpu > running various fuzzers non-stop during a period of several weeks where > not able to find it. Big thanks to @Pashugan for finding and sharing a > reproducible sample. > > Due to this fix, v1.8.3 is a recommended update. > > A few other minor features were already merged, and are therefore > bundled in this release too. > > Should lz4 prove too slow, it's now possible to invoke --fast=# command, > by @jennifermliu . This is equivalent to the acceleration parameter in > the API, in which user forfeit some compression ratio for the benefit of > better speed. > > The verbose CLI has been fixed, and now displays the real amount of time > spent compressing (instead of cpu time). It also shows a new indicator, > cpu load %, so that users can determine if the limiting factor was cpu > or I/O bandwidth. > > Finally, an existing function, LZ4_decompress_safe_partial(), has been > enhanced to make it possible to decompress only the beginning of an LZ4 > block, up to a specified number of bytes. Partial decoding can be useful > to save CPU time and memory, when the objective is to extract a limited > portion from a larger block.
