    32     - Bug in versions 4.33b:4.38b was fixed:
       
    33       C++ version of LZMA encoder could not correctly compress

    42   4.35 beta      2005-03-02
       
    43   -------------------------
       
    44     - Bug was fixed in C++ version of LZMA Decoder:
       
    45        If encoded stream was corrupted, decoder could access memory 
       
    46        outside of allocated range.
       
    47 
       
    48

    50   -------------------------
       
    51     - Compressing speed and memory requirements for compressing were increased
       
    52     - LZMA now can use only these match finders: HC4, BT2, BT3, BT4
       
    53 
       
    54   
       
    55   4.32           2005-12-09

    65     - Bug in 7z_C (7zIn.c) was fixed:
       
    66       It used Alloc/Free functions from different memory pools.
       
    67       So if program used two memory pools, it worked incorrectly.
       
    68     - 7z_C: .7z format supporting was improved
       
    69     - LZMA# SDK (C#.NET version) was included

    82     - Bug in LzmaDecodeSize.c was fixed:
       
    83        if _LZMA_IN_CB and _LZMA_OUT_READ were defined,
       
    84        decompressing worked incorrectly.
       
    85 
       
    86 
       
    87   4.26           2005-08-05
       
    88   -------------------------
       
    89     - Fixes in 7z_C code and LzmaTest.c:
       
    90       previous versions could work incorrectly,

   126   -------------------------
       
   127     - Bug was fixed in LzmaDecode.c (ANSI-C LZMA Decoder): 
       
   128        If _LZMA_OUT_READ was defined, and if encoded stream was corrupted,
       
   129        decoder could access memory outside of allocated range.
       
   130     - Speed optimization of ANSI-C LZMA Decoder (now it's about 20% faster).
       
   131       Old version of LZMA Decoder now is in file LzmaDecodeSize.c. 
       
   132       LzmaDecodeSize.c can provide slightly smaller code than LzmaDecode.c
       
   133     - Small speed optimization in LZMA C++ code

   157   -------------------------
       
   158     - "Benchmark" command was added. It measures compressing 
       
   159       and decompressing speed and shows rating values. 
       
   160       Also it checks hardware errors.
