Since vesion 1.1.0.x, Java 6 (1.6) or higher is required.

## snappy-java-1.1.3-M1 (2017-01-19)
 * This is a preview release. Appreciate your feedback.
 * Upgraded to snappy 1.1.3 (Minor compression performance improvement)

 * Added BitShuffle class for better float value compression
 * Switched to use docker-based cross compilers for building native libraries
 * AIX, FreeBSD, SunOS, IBM s390x are still using snappy 1.1.2. Your contirbutions are welcome.

## snappy-java-1.1.2.6 (2016-06-02)
 * Fix a bug in SnappyInputStream when reading compressed data that happened to have the same first byte with the stream magic header (#142)
  * Never use 1.1.2.5 (This is a broken build)

## snappy-java-1.1.2.4 (2016-03-30)
 * Improved `SnappyOutputStream.write(byte[], off, len)` performance.

## snappy-java-1.1.2.3 (2016-03-30)
