1.1.0:
This release removes the deprecated functions which were marked as remove in 1.0, but nonetheless remained:
lz4.lz4version()
LZ4FrameCompressor.finalize()
As a side effect, we noo longer have a dependency on the deprecation package.
0.23.2:
Fixes an error in the deprecated LZ4Compressor.finalize() method
Improves documentation
Has all example code in documentation verified via doctest
0.19.1:
This release adds compressed file handling capability to the lz4.frame sub-package.
This necessitated some changes to the API of lz4.frame.decompress_chunk, ad some smaller changes to the LZ4FrameCompressor and LZ4FrameDecompressor classes. Please see updated documentation for further details.
0.18.2:
This release fixes a memory leak that was introduced in lz4.frame.decompress in 0.18.1. This leak resulted from an incorrect ref count on the returned result which prevented it from ever being released and garbage collected.
0.18.1:
This is a minor bugfix release which fixes two small bugs which would result in source references not being released on error conditions in lz4.frame.compress.
0.18.0:
This release changes the strategy for allocating memory to not use undocumented and potentially fragile Python internals (Py_SIZE). This may have a small performance impact, but brings stronger guarantees for future stability.
0.17.0:
This release fixes a pathological case where compressing and decompressing a zero length bytes object could result in the resulting bytes object causing False to be returned from val == 'b'.
This release brings
Huge changes to the LZ4 Frame support which should now be considered beta quality
A new pytest based test harness, and significantly re-worked testing
An end to Python 2.6 support - no testing is currently done against Python 2.6 although the code probably does still work with Python 2.6 at this point in time.
py-lz4 provides Python bindings for the LZ4 compression library by Yann
Collet.
At this time the project contains bindings for the LZ4 block format,
which are considered stable.
Support for the LZ4 frame format is a work-in-progress and available as a
technology preview. A future relase will implement support for the LZ4
stream format.
