Name        : pbzip2
Product     : Fedora 13
Version     : 1.1.0
Release     : 1.fc13
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 1.1.0 (Mar 13, 2010)  - Added support for multi-threaded
decompression using STDIN/pipes  - Added code to support throttling compression
to prevent memory exhaustion with slow output pipe  - Added -m switch to specify
max memory usage amount before throttling starts (default 100MB)  - Fixed bug
that did not allow command line parameters to be used when compressing data from
STDIN  - Added long options to man page and -h output  - Added --loadavg, --read
long options  - Added support for CPU detection on Win32  - Major improvements
to protection of shared variables, error and signal handling, program
termination  - Added -S switch for thread stack size customization (needs
USE_STACKSIZE_CUSTOMIZATION defined when compiling)  - Fixed command line
parsing bug for -b, -p, -m switches  - Fixed infinite loop when fileWriter fails
to create output file at start  - Fixed bug that deleted input filename (with
.bz2 extension for compression and without .bz2 extension for decompression)
when a user interrupts process with CTRL-C while outputting to STDOUT  - Fixed
bug where 0 byte files were not processed properly when data input from STDIN  -
Ignores fwrite return and passes chown errors in writeFileMetaData if effective
uid root  - OutputBuffer usage redesigned as fixed-size circular buffer  - Lots
of minor bugs fixed (see AUTHORS or pbzip2.cpp for full details)  - Special
thanks to Yavor Nikolov for providing the majority of contributions to this
release and a significant amount of testing
