Lzip is a lossless data compressor based on the LZMA algorithm, with very safe integrity checking and a user interface similar to the one of gzip or bzip2. Lzip decompresses almost as fast as gzip and compresses better than bzip2, which makes it well suited for software distribution and data archiving.

The new options "--member-size" and "--volume-size" have been added. This version is able to read from non-regular files. Support for safe recovery of undamaged members from multi-member files has been added. Lziprecover, a member recoverer program, has been added to the distribution.
