| michael@0 | 5 | Somewhat more for some tests, almost no gain for others. |
| michael@0 | 6 | |
| michael@0 | 7 | * Make Snappy compile on certain platforms it didn't before |
| michael@0 | 8 | (Solaris with SunPro C++, HP-UX, AIX). |
| michael@0 | 9 | |
| michael@0 | 10 | * Correct some minor errors in the format description. |

| michael@0 | 13 | Snappy v1.0.3, June 2nd 2011: |
| michael@0 | 14 | |
| michael@0 | 15 | * Speeded up the decompressor somewhat; about 3-6% for Core 2, |
| michael@0 | 16 | 6-13% for Core i7, and 5-12% for Opteron (all in 64-bit mode). |

| michael@0 | 23 | |
| michael@0 | 24 | * Fixed some display issues in the microbenchmarks, one of which would |
| michael@0 | 25 | frequently make the test crash on GNU/Hurd. |
