Version 0.8 brings the following new features:

Features
  • Add -z/--no-compression and -s/--small-files options to disable compression. The --small-files option is meant to mimick behaviour of "Medieval II: Total War" PACK files, it disables compression for files of <= 1024 bytes (1kiB).
  • Picked a more aggressive compression algorithm (lzo1x_999 vs lzo1x_1), yielding smaller results at the cost of (significant) extra run time and memory consumption while packing.


Misc
  • Use the 'safe' LZO decompression algorithm variant which performs sanity checking of arguments passed by the pack program. This should make the program resilient against malformed input data. Also added some logic to print additional error messages indicating the specific error condition when compression/decompression fails.
