  3. > the link attached says https://github.com/Cyan4973/zstd but then redirects to https://github.com/facebook/zstd . Anyone know why? I believe this is just GitHub's standard behavior when a repository is moved to another namespace. We…
  4. It hasn't been long that I fetched zstd from https://github.com/Cyan4973/zstd Upon looking further, it turns out that the author Yann Collet [0] works with Facebook now; the repo would have been thus transferred to Facebook. Author's blog…
  5. …interesting (to me at least). At the bottom of the link mentioned below, the link attached says https://github.com/Cyan4973/zstd but then redirects to https://github.com/facebook/zstd . Anyone know why? [0]: http://facebook.github.io/zstd/…
  6. …not proprietary. (This issue is relevant in this regard: https://github.com/lzfse/lzfse/issues/21 ) https://github.com/Cyan4973/zstd Edit: here is a quick comparison I did on Linux with Project Gutemberg's webster (…
  7. Basically an Apple-specific reimplementation of Zstd: https://github.com/Cyan4973/zstd

  11. Based on internet bechmarks, zstd looks like strictly better option: https://github.com/Cyan4973/zstd
  12. …be with zstd. zstd started zhuff which was the lz4 authors work of putting lz4 & FSE together. https://github.com/Cyan4973/zstd
  13. More compression news!: https://github.com/Cyan4973/zstd declared its format stable a couple days ago, getting a step towards 1.0. In the example there, it's a little denser than gzip -1 and a lot faster, and includes entropy encoding that…
