tornado 0.2 is not yet finished...

[Bulat Ziganshin]

.. but rather close. in particular, i've written small and elegant huffman encoder that is just 100 lines long - several times smaller than zip's one

and now i'm starring at this beatiful encoder and try to realize how i can write corresponding decoder

[LovePimple]

Good news! Is it any faster than the previous version?

poor you congratulations though!

[Bulat Ziganshin]

Is it any faster than the previous version?

yes. thanks to hufcoder, tornado -3 is now rather close to thor ex in both time and compression

Excellent! Im looking forward to the public release.

... and im still guessing about decompression time

[Bulat Ziganshin]

i just thought that extension .tar.tor will look sexy something like tweedledee and tweedledum

[LovePimple]

Yeah!

Hello everyone,

still no decompression?

Best regards!

[LovePimple]

Haste makes a waste!

[Bulat Ziganshin]

still no decompression?

decompression turned out to be as easy as compression itself. at the last end. the whole huffman stuff required about 200 lines (what is about 10 times smaller than zip implementation)

but im still work on other optimizations..

tornado 0.2 is not yet finished...

A funny topic title. It sounds like: I still not written the compressor which outcompresses PAQ being faster than THOR... Or something like that.

[Bulat Ziganshin]

... but work in progress

[LovePimple]

i still polish tornado 0.2 but hope to release it (with sources) in a week or two. its very close in speed/compression to thor 0.95 and significantly outperforms zip while using more memory

Are you planning to release Tornado v0.2 anytime soon?

[Bulat Ziganshin]

i just renewed working on it and in last 3 days improved compression ratio by 3%

i want to improve it as much as possible before releasinng freearc because after this release i cannot improve tornado and use it in newer freearc versions without losing backward compatibility

[LovePimple]

OK!
