1 Snappy v1.0.4, September 15th 2011:
2
3 * Speeded up the decompressor somewhat; typically about 2–8%
4 for Core i7, in 64-bit mode (comparable for Opteron).
5 Somewhat more for some tests, almost no gain for others.
6
7 * Make Snappy compile on certain platforms it didn't before
8 (Solaris with SunPro C++, HP-UX, AIX).
9
10 * Correct some minor errors in the format description.

13 Snappy v1.0.3, June 2nd 2011:
14
15 * Speeded up the decompressor somewhat; about 3-6% for Core 2,
16 6-13% for Core i7, and 5-12% for Opteron (all in 64-bit mode).
17
18 * Added compressed format documentation. This text is new,
19 but an earlier version from Zeev Tarantov was used as reference.
20
21 * Only link snappy_unittest against -lz and other autodetected
22 libraries, not libsnappy.so (which doesn't need any such dependency).
23
24 * Fixed some display issues in the microbenchmarks, one of which would
25 frequently make the test crash on GNU/Hurd.
