+  <longdescription>
+    A better, faster and stronger spiritual successor to BZip2. Features higher
+    compression ratios and better performance thanks to a order-0 context
+    mixing entropy coder, a fast Burrows-Wheeler transform code making use of
+    suffix arrays and a RLE with Lempel Ziv+Prediction pass based on LZ77-style
+    string matching and PPM-style context modeling.
+    Like its ancestor, BZip3 excels at compressing text or code.
