Bulat Ziganshin?..
Hmm, this name rings the bell.
A-HA! I know this name from 1990's and Russian (!) FIDO echoconference RU.COMPRESSION. He designed and wrote some impressive compressors which beats all these RAR and HA on (English) texts, as far as I remember.
It was place where Dmitry Shkarin showcases his PPMd, and Igor Pavlov (think: 7zip) was here too, if my memory serves me right.
Good old days.
I'm happy, that Bulat is alive and kicking.
Update: Ooops, last change in repo is ~5 years ago, it is sad.
- naillo 4y agoIf it's any consolance, he has been commiting quite recently too. This was updated 9 days ago https://github.com/Bulat-Ziganshin/magus https://github.com/Bulat-Ziganshin/magus. So far from not alive and kicking it seems.
- mananaysiempre 4y agoHe also seems quite active on encode.su ex encode.ru, in case you understand enough compression arcana to read that (English-language) board (I don’t).
- fomine3 4y agoIt seems that Russians are great about compression algorithm. What's the background?
