+* Noteworthy changes in release ?.? (????-??-??) [?]
+
+** Bug fixes
+
+  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,
+  sometimes with undefined behavior.  This affects timestamps before
+  1970 and after 2106, and timestamps after 2038 on platforms with
+  32-bit signed time_t.  [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.
+  [bug introduced in gzip-1.7]
+
+  Port to Oracle Solaris Studio 12 on x86-64.
+  [bug present since at least gzip-1.2.4]
+
+  When configuring gzip, ./configure DEFS='...-DNO_ASM...' now
+  suppresses assembler again.  [bug introduced in gzip-1.3.5]
