\r
97 <P> Note: If you use XZ code from LZMA SDK, it's recommended to upgrade to new
\r
98 XZ code from 7-Zip 9.38 beta. That new code fixes some bugs.</P>
\r
100 <P><B>What's new:</B>
\r
102 <LI><B>9.38:</B> Some bugs were fixed.</LI>
\r
103 <LI><B>9.36:</B> Some bugs were fixed.</LI>
\r
104 <LI><B>9.35:</B> Some bugs were fixed. AES code and SFXs modules were included to SDK.</LI>
\r
105 <LI><B>9.20:</B> New small SFX module for installers.</LI>
\r
106 <LI><B>9.11:</B> PPMd support.</LI>
\r
107 <LI><B>9.04:</B> LZMA2 and XZ support.</LI>
\r
108 <LI><B>4.62:</B> Some fixes. LZMA SDK is placed in the public domain.</LI>
\r
109 <LI><B>4.58:</B> Speed optimizations. New ANSI-C code for LZMA compression.</LI>
\r
110 <LI><B>4.57:</B> Speed optimizations. Some fixes.</LI>
\r
111 <LI><B>4.49:</B> .7z ANSI-C decoder was improved. C++ code for .7z archive handling was
\r
116 <P><B>LZMA</B> is the default and general compression method of <A href ="7z.html"><B>7z format</B></A>
\r
117 in the <B>7-Zip</B> program. <B>LZMA</B> provides a high compression ratio and
\r
118 very fast decompression, so it is very suitable for embedded applications.
\r
119 For example, it can be used for ROM (firmware) compressing.</P>
\r
121 <P><B>LZMA SDK</B> includes:</P>
\r
123 <LI><B>C++</B> source code of <B>LZMA</B> Encoder and Decoder</LI>
\r
124 <LI><B>C++</B> source code for <B>.7z</B> compression and decompression (reduced version)</LI>
\r
125 <LI><B>ANSI-C</B> compatible source code for <B>LZMA / LZMA2 / XZ</B> compression and decompression</LI>
\r
126 <LI><B>ANSI-C</B> compatible source code for <B>7z</B> decompression with example</LI>
\r
127 <LI><B>C#</B> source code for <B>LZMA</B> compression and decompression</LI>
\r
128 <LI><B>Java</B> source code for <B>LZMA</B> compression and decompression</LI>
\r
129 <LI><B>lzma.exe</B> for .lzma compression and decompression</LI>
\r
130 <LI><B>7zr.exe</B> to work with 7z archives (reduced version of 7z.exe from 7-Zip)</LI>
\r
131 <LI><B>SFX modules</B> to create self-extracting packages and installers</LI>
\r
134 <P><B>ANSI-C</B> and <B>C++</B> source code in LZMA SDK is subset of source code of 7-Zip.</P>
\r
136 <P><B>LZMA</B> features:</P>
\r
138 <LI>Compression speed: 2 MB/s on 2 GHz dual-core CPU.
\r
139 <LI>Decompression speed:
\r
141 <LI>20-30 MB/s on modern 2 GHz CPU (Intel, AMD).
\r
142 <LI>5-10 MB/s on simple 1 GHz RISC CPU (ARM, MIPS, PowerPC).
\r
144 <LI>Small memory requirements for decompression: 8-32 KB + DictionarySize
\r
145 <LI>Small code size for decompression: 2-8 KB (depending on speed optimizations)
\r
148 <P>The <B>LZMA</B> decoder uses only CPU integer instructions and can be
\r
149 implemented for any modern 32-bit CPU (or, on a 16-bit CPU with some conditions).</P>
\r
153 <P><B>LZMA SDK</B> is placed in the <B>public domain.</B></P>
