Zoltan Szabadka ea359368 2015-05-11T17:04:13 Change the expiration date and title of the -04 draft.
Zoltan Szabadka 14ea2b58 2015-05-11T17:03:35 Create -04 version of the draft.
Zoltan Szabadka 78350a91 2015-05-07T20:10:22 Add an Acknowledgements section to the spec.
Zoltan Szabadka 54f69c9e 2015-05-07T17:44:33 Support window bits 10 - 15 in the decoder. The previous window bit value 17 is used to extend the range, since it has not been used in any previous encoders.
Zoltan Szabadka 94bc27d8 2015-04-27T18:25:59 Fix the year on the copyright message.
Zoltan Szabadka fd4a0481 2015-04-27T18:12:09 Change the expiration date and title of the -03 draft.
Zoltan Szabadka 98bd8841 2015-04-27T17:52:21 Create -03 version of the internet draft.
Zoltan Szabadka 2d8b2ec1 2015-04-22T12:41:57 Support empty meta-blocks with optional ignored metadata. This is a partially backward incompatible format change, that makes previously valid brotli streams that contain larger than 16MB meta-blocks invalid. The impact of this should be minimal, since the 'bro' command-line tool does not create larger than 2MB meta-blocks, so the only streams this change could break are those created by a custom brotli encoder. This commit contains only the specification update, implementation in the decoder and encoder will follow in later commits.
Zoltan Szabadka 5b80ef0f 2015-04-22T12:08:16 Change the specification to be less strict in some cases. In the following three cases we allow more choices for the compressor, which can potentially lead to less compressed bits. (1) Allow brotli streams where the block counts do not count down to exactly zero at the end of the meta-block. This makes it possible for compressors to sometimes choose a block count which can be represented with less bits than the exact block count. (2) Remove the restriction that prefix code descriptions with exactly one non-zero length symbol in the code length alphabet must have 1 bit depth. This is because bit depth 1 requires the most bits to encode. (3) Allow any copy length value in the last command where the copy part is ignored. This makes it possible for a compressor to choose a copy length which can be represented with the least amount of bits. In addition to the changes above, this commit also has a wording clarification in the overview section where the use of the 'context ID' expression is changed to be consistent with the rest of the specification, i.e. that it is a function of the last two literals or the copy length.
Zoltan Szabadka 206d067c 2015-04-22T11:55:29 Use consistent sentence spacing in the specification. All sentence spacing was changed to one space, except in the boilerplate which must be preserved verbatim.
Zoltan Szabadka e9fd1a4f 2015-04-22T11:33:38 Add Mark Adler's edits to the specification. The specification source is changed in this commit to exactly mirror the specification edited by Mark Adler: https://github.com/madler/brotli/blob/master/brotli-02-edit.nroff (version 70e53d7)
Zoltan Szabadka f80ccecd 2015-04-08T16:15:09 Spec clarifications for Section 7. Based on Mark Adler's review comments.
Zoltan Szabadka dcdc68e6 2015-04-08T11:07:00 Spec clarifications for Section 8. Based on Mark Adler's review comments.
Zoltan Szabadka 92b55173 2015-04-07T17:23:37 Some wording changes to Section 2 of the spec.
Zoltan Szabadka 707b78ae 2015-04-07T16:58:07 Add the current version of the brotli specification. Add the .nroff source file and a python script to generate the .txt version (requires the nroff command).
