 * Noteworthy changes in release ?.? (????-??-??) [?]
 
+** Bug fixes
+
+  gzip now warns about file time stamps out of gzip range, or out of
+  time_t range, instead of silently continuing, sometimes with
+  undefined behavior.  This affects time stamps before 1970 or after
+  2106, and time stamps after 2038 on 32-bit platforms.
+  [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.
