• v1.1.6 Changes

  July 13, 2017

  🚀 This is a re-release of v1.1.5 with proper SONAME / SOVERSION values.

• v1.1.5 Changes

  June 29, 2017

  🚀 This release has broken SONAME / SOVERSION values. Users of snappy as a shared library should avoid 1.1.5 and use 1.1.6 instead. SONAME / SOVERSION errors will manifest as the dynamic library loader complaining that it cannot find snappy's shared library file (libsnappy.so / libsnappy.dylib), or that the library it found does not have the required version. 1.1.6 has the same code as 1.1.5, but carries build configuration fixes for the issues above.

  • ➕ Add AppVeyor configuration, for Windows CI coverage.
  • 🐎 Small performance improvement on little-endian PowerPC.
