+
+2011-01-03 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>

+ * NEWS: The "gzip -f foo.gz" change occurred in 1.3.13, not 1.3.12
+
+2010-11-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ zgrep: don't assume traditional behavior with signal numbers
+ * zgrep.in: Don't assume the exit status is the signal number plus
+ 128, as POSIX doesn't require this. No need to kill self; exiting
+ with large status is enough. Propagate all exit statuses greater
+ than 1, not merely those in the range 129..143, as there's no need
+ to treat that range specially (and it's not portable anyway).
+
+2010-11-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ zgrep: fix shell portability bug with -f; fix mishandling of "-e -"
+ * tests/zgrep-f: Check for "zgrep -e -" bug, too.
+ * zgrep.in: Don't assume that if the shell redirects fd 6, then
+ this redirection is visible to the subsidiary grep. POSIX doesn't
+ guarantee this visibility except for file descriptors 0, 1, and 2,
+ and ksh does not support it. Problem reported by Thomas Schulz in
+ <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gzip/2010-11/msg00000.html>.
+ Also, fix a related bug: "-e -" was mishandled. These two bugs
+ were introduced by commit 5b54db4546b84ec97ff57a62f8ddb98faacf77f2
+ dated 2009-10-09.
+ (escape): Change the convention: do not assume that a stray X
+ is present at the end of the last line. All uses changed.
+ There was no longer any need for this convention, and fixing this
+ made it a bit easier to use 'sed' in a later part of the fix.
+
+2010-11-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ maint: fix copyright dates that were munged by a maintenance script
+ * gunzip.in, gzexe.in, zcat.in, zcmp.in, zdiff.in, zforce.in:
+ * zgrep.in, zless.in, zmore.in, znew.in:
+ A script went awry when updating copyright dates in gzip's shell
+ scripts. It should update comments to look like "# Copyright (C)
+ 2007, 2010 Free Software Foundation, Inc." (with a set of years)
+ and version messages to look like "Copyright (C) 2010 Free
+ Software Foundation, Inc." (with just the most-recent year).
+ Instead, it sometimes ignored one, sometimes the other, and
+ typically put ranges into version messages. Fix all this stuff by
+ hand, using dates that I divined from the change logs (so they're
+ a bit more accurate than script-generated dates). We need to fix
+ the script before it runs in 2011.

+ build: use gnulib's lib-ignore module
+ * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add lib-ignore, in case it helps.
+ * Makefile.am (AM_LDFLAGS): Define it.
+
+ maint: let configure-invoked cpp emit diagnostics to config.log
+ * configure.ac: Do not discard CPP's stderr.
+
+ build: update gnulib submodule to latest, and adapt
+ * cfg.mk: Update to use new _sc_search_regexp interface. Run this:
+ perl -pi -e 's/\b_prohibit_regexp\b/_sc_search_regexp/;'
+ -e 's/\bmsg=/halt=/; s/\bre=/prohibit=/;' cfg.mk
+ and then adjust backslashes so they still line up.
+ * cfg.mk (local-checks-to-skip): Add new sc_texinfo_acronym, to skip it.
+ * msdos/tailor.c (fcalloc): Mark a diagnostic for translation, to
+ placate stricter syntax-check, even though no one uses this file.
+
+ use assembly code matcher when possible
+ * configure.ac (ASCPPPOST): Backslash-escape "#" in AC_SUBST'd
+ variable, to keep make from seeing it as a comment-introducer.
+ Based on a patch by Petr Pisar.
+ * lib/Makefile.am (match.$(OBJEXT)): Use AM_V_GEN and AM_V_at.
+ * lib/match.c: Don't include <config.h>.
+ It would impede configure-time assembler test.
+ * .x-sc_require_config_h: Exempt lib/match.c from syntax-check.
+ * .x-sc_require_config_h_first: Likewise.
+

+
+ do not use stat.st_mtime of a non-regular file
+ * gzip.c: Include "timespec.h".
+ (treat_stdin): Use st_mtime only from a regular file.
+ This matters at least on Cygwin 1.7.1-1, for which a stdin-pipe has
+ the mtime of /dev/null, rather than the gzip-documented-for-pipes
+ "current time". Reported by Denis Excoffier.

+
+ tests: exercise the fix for the decompression data-loss bug
+ * tests/null-suffix-clobber: New file.
+ * Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
+
+ gzip: fix a data-loss bug when decompressing with --suffix=''
+ * gzip.c (main): Disallow an empty --suffix=S also with -d.
+ Otherwise, "gzip -d -S '' F.gz" would ask if it's ok to remove the
+ existing file, "F.gz"; if you reply "yes", you'd lose all of that data.
+ Use of an empty suffix was already rejected in compression mode.
+ * gzip.1 (--suffix (-S)): Do not recommend to use "gunzip -S '' *".
+ Describe how the suffix is used when decompressing, too.
+ * NEWS (Bug fixes): mention the fix.
+ Reported by Ripduman Sohan.
+
+ tests: add ---presume-input-tty option, solely for testing
+ * gzip.c: Include <stdbool.h>.
+ (presume_input_tty): New global.
+ (main): Set it.
+ (treat_stdin, check_ofname): Use it.

+
+ doc: minor adjustment to README-release
+ * README-release: Tweak description, to sync from coreutils.
+
+ tests: add the help-version sanity tests from coreutils
+ * tests/help-version: New file, from coreutils.
+ * Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
+
+ tests: make distcheck invoke "make syntax-check" and other tests
+ * dist-check.mk: New file, from coreutils.
+ * cfg.mk: Include it.
+ * Makefile.am (distcheck-hook): New rule, to make us use it.
+
+ zcmp: consistently indicate failure with exit status of 2
+ * zcmp.in: Exit with status of 2 (not 1), when writing
+ --help or --version output fails, to be more like cmp.
+

+
+ tests: add more tests of gzip -cdf
+ * tests/mixed: Test "gzip -cdf" for a range of small uncompressed files.
+
+ tests: flip and adjust mixed test, now that the bug is fixed
+ * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention the fix.
+ * Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Move tests/mixed from here...
+ (TESTS): ...to here.
+ * tests/mixed: Comment out the currently (always?) failing part.
+
+2010-02-04 Mark Adler <madler@alumni.caltech.edu>
+
+ gzip -cdf now handles concatenation of gzip'd and uncompressed data
+ * util.c (copy): Change semantics so as to honor a decremented inptr.
+ * gzip.c (get_method): When needed (-cdf), decrement inptr rather
+ than clearing it -- and output the first magic byte.

+
+ zgrep: terminate gracefully when a pipeline is interrupted by a signal
+ zgrep is not terminated gracefully when its grep/sed pipeline
+ is terminated by a signal. For example, a command like
+ zgrep -F .TH /usr/share/man/man1/*.gz | head
+ continues working long after the "head" process completes.
+ Another example, a command like
+ zgrep unmatched-pattern /usr/share/man/man1/*.gz
+ cannot be interrupted by sending a SIGQUIT with Ctrl-\ key, it outputs
+ zgrep: line 221: test: : integer expression expected
+ and goes on.
+ * zgrep.in: Terminate gracefully when the grep/sed pipeline is
+ terminated by a signal.
+ * tests/zgrep-signal: New test.
+ * Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
+
+2010-02-03 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
+
+ maint: teach "make syntax-check" the space-only indentation rule
+ * cfg.mk (sc_prohibit_tab_based_indentation): New rule, from coreutils.
+ (sc_prohibit_emacs__indent_tabs_mode__setting): Likewise.
+ * bootstrap: Remove "indent-tabs-mode: nil" directive.
+ * .x-sc_prohibit_tab_based_indentation: New file.
+
+ global: convert indentation-TABs to spaces
+ Transformed via this shell code:
+ t=$'\t'
+ git ls-files \
+ | grep -vE '(^|/)((GNU)?[Mm]akefile|ChangeLog)|\.(am|mk)$' \
+ | grep -vE 'tests/pr/|help2man' \

+
+ wrapper scripts: write diagnostics to stderr, not to stdout
+ * zforce.in: In case of usage error, output short error diagnostics to

+ * zmore.in: Likewise.
+ * znew.in: Likewise.

+
+ gzip -cdf mishandles some concatenated input streams: test it
+ * tests/mixed: Exercise "gzip -cdf" bug.
+ * Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Add it.
+ Mark Adler reported the bug.
+
+ tests: move the hufts-segv test to its own file
+ * tests/hufts: New test.
+ * Makefile.am (TESTS): Add tests/
+ (check-local): Remove the hufts-segv test from this rule.
+
+ tests: begin moving tests into their own files
+ * Makefile.am (TESTS): Add tests/stdin.
+ (check-local): Move the stdin check to its own file:
+ * tests/stdin: New script.
+
+ tests: remove unnecessary use of "path_prepend_ ."
+ It is unnecessary, since Makefile.am's TESTS_ENVIRONMENT setting
+ already adds the top build directory, and besides, is only
+ marginally useful when running stand-alone, since it presumes
+ that the script is being run from the top build directory.
+ * tests/helin-segv: Remove unnecessary use of path_prepend_.
+ * tests/memcpy-abuse: Likewise.
+ * tests/trailing-nul: Likewise.
+ * tests/zdiff: Likewise.
+ * tests/zgrep-f: Likewise.
+
+ tests: note that znew-k test depends on length of temp file name
+ * tests/znew-k: Tweak diagnostic, factor and add a surprising comment.

+ build: update gnulib submodule to latest
+
+2010-02-01 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
+
+ fix "znew -K" to work without use of compress utility
+ * znew.in: Change -K option to imply -t, do not use compress(1).
+ * znew.1: Document it.
+ * tests/znew-k: New test.
+ * Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.

gzip -d would fail with a CRC error...

that an offending input has to be compressed "from FAT filesystem
