-Current Version: 1.2.4.
-See the file ChangeLog for the details of all changes.
+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.
+
+Major changes from 1.3.4 to 1.3.5
+* gzip now removes any output symlink before writing output file.
+* zgrep etc. scripts now port to POSIX 1003.1-2001 hosts.
+* zforce no longer assumes 14-byte file name length limit.
+* zless is now implemented using less and LESSOPEN, not zmore and PAGER.
+* assembly-language speedups reenabled; were mistakenly disabled in 1.3.
+
+Major changes from 1.3.3 to 1.3.4
+* Less output is lost when decompressing a truncated file.

+* Conform to changes to GNU makefile standards.
+* Port to Autoconf 2.13.
+* Convert to Automake.
+* Fix bugs in the following areas:
+ - files larger than 4 GB

+ - security hole involving long file names
+ - permissions bug when compressing a symbolic link to a file
+ - core dumps
+ - concatenated compressed files on INBUFSIZ boundaries
