+** Bug fixes
+
+ When decompressing data in 'pack' format, gzip no longer mishandles
+ leading zeros in the end-of-block code. [bug introduced in gzip-1.6]
+
+ When converting timestamps to gzip file format (32-bit unsigned) or
+ to time_t format (system-dependent), gzip now ignores out-of-range
+ values instead of shoehorning them into the destination format,
+ sometimes with undefined behavior. This affects timestamps before
+ 1970 and after 2106, and timestamps after 2038 on platforms with
+ 32-bit signed time_t. [bug present since the beginning]
+
+ Support for VMS and Amiga has been removed. It was not working anyway,
+ and it reportedly caused file name glitches on MS-Windowsish platforms.
+
+
+* Noteworthy changes in release 1.8 (2016-04-26) [stable]
+
+** Bug fixes
+
+ gzip -l no longer falsely reports a write error when writing to a pipe.
+ [bug introduced in gzip-1.7]
+
+ Port to Oracle Solaris Studio 12 on x86-64.
+ [bug present since at least gzip-1.2.4]
+
+ When configuring gzip, ./configure DEFS='...-DNO_ASM...' now
+ suppresses assembler again. [bug introduced in gzip-1.3.5]
