Bzip2 is in maintenance mode.

Completed milestones

Memory-safe bzip2

  • a rust crate that implements bzip2 encoding and decoding, and can be integrated with the rust bzip2 crate.
  • a dynamic library: the libbz2-rs dynamic library defines an interface identical to libbz2, and is a drop-in replacement for that library. It produces byte-for-byte identical output for identical input.
  • a binary: the bzip2 binary is written in safe rust and provides bzip2 (de)compression functionality on the command line.
  • release of version 0.6.0

Kindly funded by NLnet Foundation and the Ministry of the Interior of the Netherlands.
