https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/7534 <p> I propose a standard LZMA2 (XZ) filter implementation for the Iostreams library. </p> <p> LZMA2 provides much better compression than gz and bzip2. XZ is the default package format in Slackware GNU/Linux. 7-Zip, the most popular file compressor for Windows also uses LZMA2. </p> <p> The source code of liblzma is found <a class="ext-link" href="http://tukaani.org/xz/"><span class="icon">​</span>here</a>. </p> <p> A sample implementation of a Boost Iostream filter for lzma can be found in the <a class="ext-link" href="http://fusecompress.sourcearchive.com/documentation/2.6.git913897f4-1ubuntu1/files.html"><span class="icon">​</span>fusecompress source</a>. </p> <p> I think it would be a big advantage because XZ is an upcoming file format which is used more and more in areas and by applications where saving bandwidth, memory or physical storage is important. </p> en-us /htdocs/site/boost.png https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/7534 Trac 1.4.3 Ling Li <liling@…> Thu, 07 Mar 2013 04:03:44 GMT https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/7534#comment:1 https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/7534#comment:1 <ul> <li><strong>cc</strong> <span class="trac-author">liling@…</span> added </li> </ul> Ticket anonymous Sun, 08 Apr 2018 07:55:22 GMT
