Name        : pbzip2
Product     : Fedora EPEL 4
Version     : 1.1.1
Release     : 1.el4
URL         : http://www.compression.ca/pbzip2/
Summary     : Parallel implementation of bzip2
Description :
PBZIP2 is a parallel implementation of the bzip2 block-sorting file
compressor that uses pthreads and achieves near-linear speedup on SMP
machines.  The output of this version is fully compatible with bzip2
v1.0.2 or newer (ie: anything compressed with pbzip2 can be
decompressed with bzip2).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

Changes in 1.1.1 (Apr 17, 2010)  - Modified decompression to use low-level
libbz2 API to improve performance of long bzip2 streams of large single-stream
bzip2 blocks  - This release should now decompress files created with bzip2 at
least as fast as bzip2 or slightly faster  - Handle decompression of long bzip2
streams incrementally instead of loading whole stream in memory at once  - Fixed
issue in safe_cond_timed_wait which caused segmentation fault when compiled in
DEBUG mode
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This update can be installed with the "yum" update programs.  Use
su -c 'yum update pbzip2' at the command line.
