+==================================================================
+User visible changes for lzop -- a very fast file compressor
+==================================================================
+
+Changes in 1.03 (01 Nov 2010)
+ * Assorted minor updates.
+
+Changes in 1.02rc1 (25 Jul 2005)
+ * Made lzop compile with LZO v2.
+ * Under Windows files are now opened using the _O_SEQUENTIAL flag,
+ which results in a major speedup when (de)compressing large files.
+ * Under MacOS X, the configure script now will use the '-no-cpp-precomp'
+ compiler option in order to work around bugs in Apple's native
+ "smart" preprocessor.
+ * File sizes > 2GB are correctly displayed.
+
+Changes in 1.01 (27 Apr 2003)
+ * Five years have passed since the last release: completely updated
+ the Autoconf build system, enable Autoconf large file support.
+ * Warn about a compressed file's trailing zero bytes only if in
+ verbose mode (for compatibility with recent versions of GNU tar).
+ * Don't be to strict in favoring stdin - using '--no-stdin' should not
+ be necessary any longer in cron jobs.
+ * Added option '-P' to save/restore the path name of a compressed file.
+ * Added option '--crc32' to use a crc32 instead of a adler32 checksum.
+ * Fixed an assertion that could trigger in very rare cases.
