 ** Bug fixes
 
+  gzip -d -S SUFFIX file.SUFFIX would fail for any upper-case byte in SUFFIX.
+  E.g., before, this command would fail:
+    $ :|gzip > kT && gzip -d -S T kT
+    gzip: kT: unknown suffix -- ignored
+  [bug present since the beginning]
+
+  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,
