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.

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, started by @gabrielstedman, which makes it possible to peek at the internals of a .lz4 file. It will provide the block type, checksum information, compressed and decompressed sizes (if present). The command is limited to single-frame files for the time being.

Changes

• fix : decompression functions were reading a few bytes beyond input size (introduced in v1.9.0, reported by @ppodolsky and @danlark1)
• api : fix : lz4frame initializers compatibility with c++, reported by @degski
• cli : added command --list, based on a patch by @gabrielstedman
• build: improved Windows build, by @JPeterMugaas
• build: AIX, by Norman Green

Note : this release has an issue when compiling liblz4 dynamic library on Mac OS-X. This issue is fixed in : https://github.com/lz4/lz4/pull/696 .
