What's new:
- 9.10: Some fixes.
- 9.06: Some fixes.
- 9.04: LZMA2 and XZ support.
- 4.65: Some fixes.
- 4.62: Some fixes. LZMA SDK is placed in the public domain.
- 4.58: Speed optimizations. New ANSI-C code for LZMA compression.
- 4.57: Speed optimizations. Some fixes.
- 4.49: .7z ANSI-C decoder was improved. C++ code for .7z archive handling was included.
LZMA is the default and general compression method of 7z format in the 7-Zip program. LZMA provides a high compression ratio and very fast decompression, so it is very suitable for embedded applications. For example, it can be used for ROM (firmware) compressing.
LZMA SDK includes:
- C++ source code of LZMA Encoder and Decoder
- ANSI-C compatible source code for LZMA decompression with example
- ANSI-C compatible source code for XZ compression and decompression
- C# source code for LZMA compression and decompression
- Java source code for LZMA compression and decompression
- Compiled file->file LZMA compression/decompression program for the Windows operating system
ANSI-C LZMA decompression code is ported from the original C++ sources to C. Also, it has been simplified and optimized for code size. But it is fully compatible with LZMA from 7-Zip.
LZMA features:
- Compression speed: 2 MB/s on 2 GHz dual-core CPU.
- Decompression speed:
- 20-30 MB/s on 2 GHz Intel Core2 or AMD Athlon 64.
- 1-2 MB/s on 200 MHz ARM, MIPS, PowerPC or other simple RISC CPU.
- Small memory requirements for decompression: 8-32 KB + DictionarySize
- Small code size for decompression: 2-8 KB (depending on speed optimizations)
The LZMA decoder uses only CPU integer instructions and can be implemented for any modern 32-bit CPU (or, on a 16-bit CPU with some conditions).
