It is specifically not about .phar archives, but instead writing and reading a widely used archive format that is not specific to PHP. GIMP has implemented .xcfxz files recently, and as mentioned, PHP itself is being distributed in .xz format. Please avoid off topic comments. Thank you. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2018-10-25 18:54:40] spam2 at rhsoft dot net xz is way too slow for most usecases - period lern about zstd and complain lack of that ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2018-10-25 18:52:53] tobias at freiwuppertal dot de Updating to RC4, hopefully increasing visibility.
