+Description:
+Lizard is an efficient compressor with very fast decompression. It achieves
+compression ratio that is comparable to zip/zlib and zstd/brotli (at low and
+medium compression levels) at decompression speed of 1000 MB/s and faster.
+
+License:
+Lizard library is provided as open source software using the BSD license.

+- Source:   https://github.com/mcmilk/7-Zip-zstd
+
+Modes:
+- threading is supported through skippable frame id 0x184D2A50U
+- all compression levels of v1.0 are supported, which means:
+  1. Level 10..19
+   - fastLZ4, designed to give better decompression speed than LZ4 i.e. over 2000 MB/s
+  2. Level 20..29
+   - LIZv1, designed to give better ratio than LZ4 keeping 75% decompression speed
+  3. Level 30..39
+   - fastLZ4 + Huffman, add Huffman coding to fastLZ4
+  4. Level 40..49
+   - LIZv1 + Huffman, give the best ratio
+   - comparable to zlib and low levels of zstd/brotli
+   - but also decompression speed of 1000 MB/s
+- the codec is used as archiv handler also, see LizardHandler.cpp
+  - this handler is does not use any additional headers, it supports the plain lizarv v1.0 format
+- future formats of this algorithm will not follow
+- one ID should be okay for this codec
+
+Versions:
+The 7-Zip Lizard codec will be kept in sync with the current releases of Lizard.
