 ** Bug fixes
 
+  gzip -d no longer malfunctions with certain invalid data in 'pack' format.
+  Problem reported by Aki Helin.  [bug introduced in gzip-0.8]
+
+  zgrep no longer malfunctions with a multi-digit context option like -15.
+  Now, it passes that option to grep (equivalent to -C15) just as it does
+  for single-digit options. [bug introduced in gzip-1.3.12]
+
   zmore now acts more like 'more', and is more portable to POSIXish hosts.
