====== Configuration Setting: compression ======

Determines how old page versions ([[:attic]]) will be stored. The default ''gz'' uses gzip compression, setting it to ''bz2'' will use bzip2 compression. Set to ''0'' to disable.  Don't confuse with the [[compress]] option.

  * Type: String
  * Default: ''gz''

Note that if you change the compression method after revisions have been created, old revisions will be inaccessible via the "Old revisions" button. To fix this, re-compress old revisions using the newly selected method, or decompress the old revisions, as appropriate.
