+v1.4.7
+perf: stronger --long mode at high compression levels, by @senhuang42
+perf: stronger --patch-from at high compression levels, thanks to --long improvements
+perf: faster dictionary compression at medium compression levels, by @felixhandte
+perf: small speed & memory usage improvements for ZSTD_compress2(), by @terrelln
+perf: improved fast compression speeds with Visual Studio, by @animalize
+cli : Set nb of threads with environment variable ZSTD_NBTHREADS, by @senhuang42
+cli : accept decompressing files with *.zstd suffix
+cli : provide a condensed summary by default when processing multiple files
+cli : fix : stdin input no longer confused as user prompt
+cli : improve accuracy of several error messages

+api : zlibWrapper only uses public API, and is compatible with dynamic library, by @terrelln
+api : fix : multithreaded compression has predictable output even in special cases (see #2327) (issue not accessible from cli)
+api : fix : dictionary compression correctly respects dictionary compression level (see #2303) (issue not accessible from cli)

 .SH "DICTIONARY BUILDER"
 \fBzstd\fR offers \fIdictionary\fR compression, which greatly improves efficiency on small files and messages\. It\'s possible to train \fBzstd\fR with a set of samples, the result of which is saved into a file called a \fBdictionary\fR\. Then during compression and decompression, reference the same dictionary, using command \fB\-D dictionaryFileName\fR\. Compression of small files similar to the sample set will be greatly improved\.
