New version of the backward reference search code. The new interface of the backward reference search function makes it possible to use it in a streaming manner. Using the advanced cost model and static dictionary can be turned on/off by template parameters. The distance short codes are now computed as part of the backward reference search. Added a faster version of the Hasher.
Brotli is a generic-purpose lossless compression algorithm that compresses data using a combination of a modern variant of the LZ77 algorithm, Huffman coding and 2nd order context modeling, with a compression ratio comparable to the best currently available general-purpose compression methods. It is similar in speed with deflate but offers more dense compression.
The specification of the Brotli Compressed Data Format is defined in the following internet draft: http://www.ietf.org/id/draft-alakuijala-brotli
