Full description
A better, faster and stronger spiritual successor to BZip2. Features higher
compression ratios and better performance thanks to a order-0 context
mixing entropy coder, a fast Burrows-Wheeler transform code making use of
suffix arrays and a RLE with Lempel Ziv+Prediction pass based on LZ77-style
string matching and PPM-style context modeling.
Like its ancestor, BZip3 excels at compressing text or code.
