Long Range ZIP is a high-speed compression software that generates excellent compression ratios for large files.
Long Range ZIP is a compression software that boasts high compression ratios and speed, especially when handling large files. Its compression capabilities are derived from a combination of lzma, lzo, and the long-range redundancy reduction of rzip algorithms. Furthermore, the software scales up with the RAM size, enhancing compression even further.
The software offers users a choice of two optimization options: speed or size. With size optimization, the compression results improve significantly, exceeding those of even lzma. On the other hand, speed optimization offers users processing speeds equivalent to gzip, but with compression levels comparable to bzip2.
This latest release comes with a myriad of updates and new features. First off, the LZMA SDK was updated to the latest version, 4.57. Other notable additions include multithreading support for LZMA, which doubles processing speed, a gzip compression option, and an assembler module for CRC computation. Several enhancements were also made to the lzo_compresses function to avoid LZMA errors.
The update also improves the software's compiling process and entails code cleanup and file cleanup. Additionally, the documentation has been improved and expanded, providing better benchmarks and highlighting major bug fixes that now make it functional with big RAM machines.
Lastly, the update contains a significant fix to prevent copying all data above 4GB uncompressed. Overall, Long Range ZIP is a reliable compression software that's continually improving to meet user needs.
