It is only compatible with OS X 10.11+ (like bzip2 compressed .dmg files, which are only compatible with OS X 10.4+).
Apple says the LZFSE compression is more or less equivalent to zlib compression level 5. The default in OS X 10.10 and earlier was zlib compression level 1 (this is equivalent to the "compressed" disk image option in Disk Utility).
Tests & Results:
1. I copied iTunes v12.1.2 to a disk image (sparse, 512 MB).
2. I compressed this disk image with zlib compression level 5 and LZFSE. The displayed results are the best results of 3 passes.

I think it was not mentioned before: swipe to delete (like demoed in Mail) is working in Messages app too.
^ ^ These two posts embody what this thread is supposed to be. If I see anyone with bugs or grievances in this thread again, I will be coming for you.

Notes and Contacts, too. Probably in other apps as well.

Off topic but can I ask what you used to blur those sections? I really like the look of it. Thanks.
Finally, finally! OS X adds this function to trash can to let us delete some files in trash can to quickly release free space, rather than waiting for emptying. And it sometimes will last long time.
See X code here right? This is in fact a folder. Emptying trash can will take much longer time because OS X needs to delete files in this folder.
Rather delighted.

Nice find.
Could you check if the option "empty trash securely" in Finder preferences changes something?
According to experience, after enabling it, deleting contents will take much longer time if you delete many files or large files (especially many).Nice find.

I didn't do full test, but when I try to "securely delete" a large zip file which is 6GB large, I need to wait a long time if I want it to be deleted. I cancel this, and revert to "normal delete", then, trash can cleaning takes less than 1 second to complete.
This could be useful if you don't want others using any sort of data recovery software to recover files you presumably don't want others to see.
This is the reason why I use srm (one pass of random data, one pass of zeroes; overwrites data forks, resource forks and all extended attributes (meta data)).
sudo srm -rsz path-to-your-folder
or for a file
sudo srm -sz path-to-your-file
in a Terminal window. I had hoped that they improve the "Secure Delete" option in the Finder. No one needs more than a single pass of random data and one pass of zeroes.
"Secure" Delete, are also more or less useless if you use SSD's, unless you have full low-level access to the cells, which rarely one have.
Safari 9 now supports regular tab switching without plugins. It's not turned on by default.
Mmm, I don't understand what does means. Would you explain, please?
It means you can use Command + 1 to switch to tab 1, Command + 2 to tab 2. In the past, CMD+1 would open the first bookmark you have, not the first tab.
This is now consistent with other browsers, to use CMD+<num> for specific tabs.
When a file is deleted on most operating systems, the bytes are marked as free space even if they still retain their contents. I assume when you say "waiting for emptying" you actually mean to say "waiting for it to get overwritten by other data."
But what I am waiting for is waiting for OS X marking those bytes as free space, not overwriting data.

Have I noted I didn't use secure delete to delete xcode?
I might forget that.
Well, I use normal empty command, not secure delete. It takes me more than 10 minutes. I do know the time spent on secure delete, which is often longer than 1 hour for a file or folder larger than 5 GB.
