# Change Log
## Version 0.4.1 - 2021-03-13
- [fix] Linking against libarchive was fixed so that it also
works for shared library builds. (fixes github #36)
- [perf] GCC builds have traditionally been much slower than
Clang builds, though it was unclear why that was the case.
It turns out the reason is simply that CMake defaults to
`-O3` optimization, which is known to cause performance
regressions in some cases. The build has been changed to
*always* build with `-O2` when doing an optimized GCC build.
The Clang build is unaffected. (fixes github #14)
- [perf] The segmenting code now uses a bloom filter to discard
unsuccessful matches as early and quickly as possible. While
this only gives a minor speedup when using a single lookback
block, as you increase the number of lookback blocks speed is
barely affected whereas before it would slow down significantly.
The bloom filter size (relative to the number of values) can be
tuned by using `--bloom-filter-size`, though increasing it any
further from the default is likely not going to make a difference.
- [perf] Nilsimsa similarity computation has been improved to
make use of different instruction sets depending on the CPU
architecture, speeding up the process of ordering files by
similarity by almost a factor of 2.
- [doc] Added comparison with `lrzip`, `zpaq`. Updated `wimlib`
comparison.
## Version 0.4.0 - 2021-03-06
- [feature] New `dwarfsextract` tool that allows extracting a file
