| # BSDiff |
| |
| Binary diff/patch algorithm based on |
| [bsdiff 4.3](http://www.daemonology.net/bsdiff/) by Colin Percival. |
| It's very effective at compressesing incremental changes in binaries. |
| |
| This implementation has the following differences from Colin's code, |
| to make it easier to read and apply patches in Java and Objective C: |
| |
| * Using gzip instead of bzip2 because gzip is included in JDK by default |
| * Using big- instead of little-endian serialization to simplify Java code |
| * Using two's complement instead of high-bit coding for negatives numbers |
