bzip2 1.0.3 is available

A new stable release (1.0.3) of bzip2, a program and library for data
compression, is available.  This is the first new release since 1.0.2
which was just over three years ago.

1.0.3 fixes some minor issues from the last version, but does not
bring any new functionality.  A list of the changes is below.

bzip also has a new home: http://www.bzip.org (note, not bzip2.org).
This replaces the previous master site, http://sourceware.org/bzip2.

1.0.3 (15 Feb 05)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Fixes some minor bugs since the last version, 1.0.2.

* Further robustification against corrupted compressed data.
  There are currently no known (to me) bitstreams which can
  cause the decompressor to crash, loop or access memory which
  does not belong to it.  If you are using bzip2 or the
  library to decompress bitstreams from untrusted sources,
  an upgrade to 1.0.3 is recommended.

* The documentation has been converted to XML, from which html
  and pdf can be derived.

* Various minor bugs in the documentation have been fixed.

* Fixes for various compilation warnings with newer versions of
  gcc, and on 64-bit platforms.

* The BZ_NO_STDIO cpp symbol was not properly observed in 1.0.2.
  This has been fixed.
