  Version         : 4.1.14

  Description     : LZ4 compression and decompression in pure Go (v4)

(copied from golang-github-pierrec-lz4)

 This library implements reading and writing lz4 compressed data (a frame),
 as specified in
 http://fastcompression.blogspot.fr/2013/04/lz4-streaming-format-final.html,
 using an io.Reader (decompression) and io.Writer (compression).  It is
 designed to minimize memory usage while maximizing throughput by being
 able to [de]compress data concurrently.

This RFP is for v4 of the package referred to as "github.com/pierrec/lz4/v4".  It is a dependency of newer versions of Syncthing, and will presumably become a dependency of all packages that migrate away from golang-github-pierrec-lz4.

Thank you for you consideration,
Nicholas
