Version 0.11.0
In this release the python -m isal.igzip relatively slow decompression rate
has been improved in both speed and usability. Previously it was 19% slower
than igzip when used with the -d flag for decompressing, now it is
just 8% slower. Also some extra flags were added to make it easier to select
the output file.
- Prompt when an output file is overwritten with the
python -m isal.igzip
command line utility and provide the-for--forceflags to force
overwriting. - Added
-oand--outputflags to thepython -m isal.igzipcommand
line utility to allow the user to select the destination of the output file. - Reverse a bug in the build system which caused some docstring and parameter
information onigzip_libandisal_zlibto disappear in the
documentation and the REPL. - Increase the buffer size for
python -m isal.igzipso it is now closer
to speeds reached withigzip. - Add a
READ_BUFFER_SIZEattribute toigzipwhich allows setting the
amount of raw data that is read at once. - Add an
igzip_lib.IgzipDecompressorobject which can decompress without
using an unconsumed_tail and is therefore more efficient.
