About
I have been involved with the lrzip project since 2007. I contributed from around version 0.19. My contributions initially centered around updating the lzma SDK (to 4.63!), adding multi-threading, integrating Assembler code. After that, I added the lrzip.conf configuration file for default options along with other changes. Between 2011-2015, and 2017-2019 I took time away from the project. In 2019, using the p7zip Project as inspiration, I toyed with upgrading lrzip to the 16.02 SDK, but later decided to use 19.00 because it had Assembler decompression (and a shoutout to @conor42 of the fast-lzma2 project and Igor Pavlov, of the lzma project, for their support, encouragement and help coverting the MASM code to NASM).
lrzip is a groundbreaking program, one that I support wholeheartedly. My goal here is to push it along to version 1.00. Features here may never get integrated into the main branch, but that is ok. This is bleeding edge lrzip-next and I am content to move this along at its own pace with its own goals.
