GNU gzip NEWS -*- outline -*-
+* Noteworthy changes in release ?.? (????-??-??) [?]
+
+** Bug fixes
+
+ gzip -d now decodes and checks header CRC16 checksums as specified by
+ the FHCRC section of Internet RFC 1952.
+
+ "gzip -d -S '' precious.gz" is now rejected immediately. Before,
+ that command would emulate "rm -i precious.gz", but with an easily-
+ misunderstood prompt. I.e., gzip would ask if it's ok to remove the
+ existing file, "precious.gz". If you made the mistake of saying "yes",
+ it would remove that input file before attempting to uncompress it.
+
+ gzip -cdf now properly handles input consisting of gzip'd data followed
+ by uncompressed data. Before it would output raw compressed input, too.
+ For example, now "(printf x|gzip; echo y)|gzip -dcf" prints "xy\n",
+ while before it would print "x<compressed data>y\n".

* Noteworthy changes in release 1.4 (2010-01-20) [stable]
** Bug fixes
* Noteworthy changes in release 1.3.13 (2009-09-30) [stable]
+** 'gzip -f foo.gz' now creates a file foo.gz.gz instead of complaining.
+
** Bug fixes
gzip -d no longer fails with "-" as 2nd or subsequent argument
* znew now uses $TMPDIR (default /tmp) instead of always using /tmp.
-* 'gzip -f foo.gz' now creates a file foo.gz.gz instead of complaining.
-
* It is now documented that gzip ignores case when examining file name
extensions; for example, 'gzip test.Gz' (without -f) fails because
the file name ends in '.Gz'.
