Fedora Update Notification
FEDORA-2018-6620a61263
2019-01-01 02:55:13.157995
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : zchunk
Product : Fedora 29
Version : 1.0.2
Release : 1.fc29
URL :
https://github.com/zchunk/zchunk
Summary : Compressed file format that allows easy deltas
Description :
zchunk is a compressed file format that splits the file into independent
chunks. This allows you to only download the differences when downloading a
new version of the file, and also makes zchunk files efficient over rsync.
zchunk files are protected with strong checksums to verify that the file you
downloaded is in fact the file you wanted.

Update Information:
Add tests for validating new chunk matching code ---- Use hash table for
finding identical chunks, speeding up process considerably
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ChangeLog:
* Fri Dec 28 2018 Jonathan Dieter <jdieter(a)gmail.com> - 1.0.2-1
- Use hash table for finding identical chunks, speeding up process considerably
- Add test case to verify that identical chunk checking is working
* Sat Dec 22 2018 Jonathan Dieter <jdieter(a)gmail.com> - 1.0.0-1
- 1.0 release. API/ABI stability is now guaranteed
* Sun Dec 9 2018 Jonathan Dieter <jdieter(a)gmail.com> - 0.9.17-1
- Turn off some tests for big-endian architectures since zstd isn't
deterministic on them
* Sat Dec 8 2018 Jonathan Dieter <jdieter(a)gmail.com> - 0.9.16-1
- Add zck_gen_zdict binary to generate optimal zdict for a zchunk file
- Add functions to API to simplify extracting a single chunk
- Change default zstd compression to 9 for a 6x speed increase in compression
speed for a 5% increase in compression size
* Tue Nov 13 2018 Jonathan Dieter <jdieter(a)gmail.com> - 0.9.15-1
- Switch from optional flags to more robust optional elements
* Thu Nov 1 2018 Jonathan Dieter <jdieter(a)gmail.com> - 0.9.14-1
