+Gzip 1.3.9 (2006-12-15)
+
+* No major changes; only porting fixes.
+
+Major changes in Gzip 1.3.8 (2006-12-08)
+
+* Fix some gzip problems:
+ - A security fix from Debian 1.3.5-5 was inadvertently omitted.
+ - The assembler is now invoked with --noexecstack if supported,
+ so that gzip can better resist stack-smashing attacks.
+
+Major changes in Gzip 1.3.7 (2006-12-06)
+
+* Fix some gzip problems:
+ - Refuse to compress setuid or setgid files, or files with the sticky bit.
+ - Fix more race conditions in setting file permissions and owner,
+ removing output files, following symbolic links, and dealing with
+ special files.
+ - Remove most of the code working around ENAMETOOLONG deficiencies.
+ Systems with those deficiencies are long-dead, and the workarounds
+ had race conditions on modern hosts.
+ - Catch CPU time and file size limit signals, too.
+ - Check for read errors when closing files.
+ - Fix a core dump caused by a stray abort mistakenly introduced in 1.3.6.
+* Fix some gzexe problems:
+ - Improve resistance to denial-of-service attacks.
+ - Fix some quoting and escaping bugs.
+ - Do not assume /tmp is sticky (though it should be!).
+ - Do not assume the working directory can be written.
+ - Rely on PATH in the generated executable, as the man page says.
+ - Don't assume IFS is sane.
+ - Exit with signal's status, if signaled.
+
+Major changes in Gzip 1.3.6 (2006-11-20)
+
+* Fix some race conditions in setting file time stamps, permissions, and owner.
+* Fix some race conditions in signal handling.
+* When gzip exits due to a signal, it exits with the signal's status, not 1.
+* gzip now restores file time stamps to the resolution supported by the
+ time-setting primitives of the operating system, typically 1 microsecond.
+ Formerly it restored them only to the nearest second.
+* gzip -r no longer attempts to reset the last-access times of directories
+ it reads, as this messes up when other processes are reading the directories.
+* The options --version and --help now work on all gzip-installed executables,
+ and now use a format similar to other GNU programs.
+* The manual is now distributed under the terms of the GNU Free
+ Documentation License without invariant sections or cover texts.
+* Port to current versions of Autoconf, Automake, and Gnulib.
