LZO 2.06 release lossless data compression algorithm

Lzo is the abbreviation of Lempel-ziv-oberhumer, a portable lossless data compression library with ANSI C, which provides a data compression algorithm with very high decompression speed. It supports repetitive compression and decompression in situ.

The Lzo library implements several algorithms with the following characteristics:

* Easy decompression, very fast.
* Decompression does not require memory.
* Compression is fairly fast.
* Compression requires kilobytes of memory.
* Allows to increase the compression rate at the cost of compression at the expense of compression speed, decompression speed will not be reduced.
* includes compression levels that generate the uncompressed data, which can be a fairly competitive compression ratio.
* There is also a compression level that requires only 8 KB of memory.
* The algorithm is thread safe.
* The algorithm is lossless.

The LZO 2.06 version optimizes some Big-endian architectures.
