About BZip2:
Plain BeOS port of famous BZip2 archiver, version 1.0.3.

BZip2 is a freely available, patent free, high-quality data compressor. It typically compresses files to within 10% to 15% of the best available techniques (the PPM family of statistical compressors), whilst being around twice as fast at compression and six times faster at decompression.

This package automatically installs and registers bzip2 archiver in your system. After performing installation you'll be able to use bz2 archives as "built-in" BeOS archive types.
Latest Version
   
Details about this version:
Fixes some minor bugs since the last version, 1.0.2.

* Further robustification against corrupted compressed data.
There are currently no known bitstreams which can cause the
decompressor to crash, loop or access memory which does not
belong to it. If you are using bzip2 or the library to
decompress bitstreams from untrusted sources, an upgrade
to 1.0.3 is recommended.

* The documentation has been converted to XML, from which html
and pdf can be derived.

* Various minor bugs in the documentation have been fixed.

* Fixes for various compilation warnings with newer versions of
gcc, and on 64-bit platforms.

* The BZ_NO_STDIO cpp symbol was not properly observed in 1.0.2.
This has been fixed.
