This release is all about speed:

  • genozip FASTQ: up to 1.7X-2X faster compression for most (but not all) FASTQ files without affecting the compression ratio
    due to a combination of better core scalability and various optimizations.
  • genounzip FASTQ/BAM/VCF: 1.5X faster decompression to disk (i.e. not in --test mode)
  • change in genounzip/genocat --bgzf (-z) parameter: range is now from 0 (no compression) to 5 (maximum compression)
  • genocat --bgzf=exact now works also when decompressing a single file from a co-compressed .genozip file (i.e. compressed with --deep or --pair)
  • new diagnostic option: --show-gz (see: genozip.com/losslessness)
