- Fixes the bug in Writer that was introduced in v1.2.0. PR 19
- Fixes a bug in how LZ4 buffers are passed to LZ4_compress_fast_continue. This bug depends on the malloc implementation. It seems rare to be triggered using glibc on Linux, but common using malloc on Mac OS X. However, this bug could happen on all systems. PR 19, PR 27
- Fixes Reader to never return an negative byte count from Read. PR 20
- Removes an unused field from Writer and CompressReader. PR 28
- Updated tests to use python3. PR 15
- A variety of small fixes to the unit tests, including additional test coverage, and fixing the benchmarks so they run.
- DO NOT USE: Fixed go vet warnings about unsafe use of SliceHeader. Added a bug to Writer. PR 17
- Introduces new Readers, CompressReader and DecompressReader
- CompressReader provides an interface for passing an io.Reader for compression and returning an io.ReadCloser for reading the compressed data.
- DecompressReader mirrors the functionality of the existing Reader but with 2x performance and fewer allocs. Reader is now deprecated in favor of this new type.
- Writer now supports any input size, not just blocks smaller than 65 KB. PR 10
- Writer ensures the double buffer used for writing do not move in memory. PR 11
- Fix panic with read when provided a buffer smaller than the decompressed data. The new version buffers the inflated data for later read calls when this happens. PR 9
Do not use deprecated LZ4 functions anymore. This removes the warnings that show up during compilation. The API or its behavior remains unchanged.
While this release does not break API compatibility, it changes the way the library is built.
Starting with this version, the C source code for liblz4 is not included in the Go package anymore.
The liblz4 needs to be provided externally, using a package manager or a manual, from source installation, for example.
Detection of liblz4 now relies on pkg-config to add the correct CFLAGS and LDFLAGS.
- Initial release, using lz4 source code version r131
