LZ4 1.10 Lossless Compression Algorithm Released


LZ4 1.10 compression algorithm released with multithreading, dramatically improving compression speeds by up to 8 times.

This latest update introduces significant enhancements, particularly multithreading support, which leverages modern multi-core processors to accelerate compression and decompression tasks in high-throughput environments. By allowing multiple threads to process data simultaneously, LZ4 significantly reduces the time it takes to compress and decompress large files. Snaps were developed by Canonical, the company behind Ubuntu, to package and distribute software focusing on security, sandboxing, and ease of installation and updates.
