From 9403e3f4b510fbc4187044f31be8f7dccbde1cf1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Gert Doering Date: Sat, 10 Oct 2015 18:34:49 +0200 Subject: Remove support for snappy compression. LZ4 is using less CPU at similar performance, and it is easier to build and support for binary installs (as it does not require C++ and a C++ runtime). Since it was never supported in any formally released OpenVPN version, just drop it again. This leaves in the compression opcode for Snappy for documentation purposes. trac #617 Signed-off-by: Gert Doering Acked-by: Arne Schwabe Message-Id: <1444494889-28925-1-git-send-email-gert@greenie.muc.de> URL: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.network.openvpn.devel/10251 --- doc/openvpn.8 | 6 +++--- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) (limited to 'doc/openvpn.8') diff --git a/doc/openvpn.8 b/doc/openvpn.8 index 829b09c..3a86409 100644 --- a/doc/openvpn.8 +++ b/doc/openvpn.8 @@ -2495,9 +2495,9 @@ Enable a compression algorithm.
