boost_lz4_filter's Issues

Add an open license

Hello,

Currently your project includes no license at all. As stated here, it means that nobody is allowed to use your code for any purpose.
Is that intentional?
Would you consider adding an MIT license to it?

Thanks for your work!

Support for non-legacy lz4 stream format

Hi,

boost_lz4_filter does not support non-legacy lz4 stream format:

$ echo "This is a test file" > out.txt
$ lz4 out.txt out.txt.lz4
Compressed 20 bytes into 39 bytes ==> 195.00%                                  
$ ./lz4fcli -d < out.txt.lz4 > out
$ file out
out: empty

With legacy mode:

$ lz4 -l out.txt out.txt.lz4
Warning : out.txt.lz4 already exists
Overwrite ? (Y/N) : y
Compressed 20 bytes into 30 bytes ==> 150.00%                                  
$ ./lz4fcli -d < out.txt.lz4 > out
$ file out
out: ASCII text
$ cat out
This is a test file

$ lz4 -V

According to the author of lz4, the legacy stream is deprecated and using it is not adviced. Any plans for adding support for this newer stream format?

Thanks,

Mikko
