LZ4 v1.9.1 Release Notes
Release Date: 2019-04-23 // almost 5 years ago-
๐ This is a point release, which main objective is to fix a read out-of-bound issue reported in the decoder of v1.9.0. Upgrade from this version is recommended.
๐ A few other improvements were also merged during this time frame (listed below).
A visible user-facing one is the introduction of a new command--list
