Lrzip version 0.7.0

https://github.com/ckolivas/lrzip/tree/v0.7.0

  • New file format mostly backward compatible except for streamed large STDIO compressed files and encrypted files.
  • Update embedded libzpaq from 5.00 to 7.15 - faster & better compression.
  • Update embedded LZMA SDK from ~4.63/9.x to 26.02 - faster & better compression.
  • Default -e encryption is AES-256-GCM + PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA512 (magic[22]=3).
  • Add --legacy-encrypt for 0.6-compatible AES-128-CBC (magic[22]=1).
  • More robust encryption protection against malicious files, but much slower.
  • Compressing via STDIO no longer writes temporary files, using the new streaming file format instead.
  • Updated lrztar to accept most lrzip options.
  • Many optimisations and cleanups.
  • 32 bit build completely deprecated and removed.
