 GNU gzip NEWS                                    -*- outline -*-
 
+* Noteworthy changes in release 1.10 (2018-12-29) [stable]
+
+** Changes in behavior
+
+  Compressed gzip output no longer contains the current time as a
+  timestamp when the input is not a regular file.  Instead, the output
+  contains a null (zero) timestamp.  This makes gzip's behavior more
+  reproducible when used as part of a pipeline.  (As a reminder, even
+  regular files will use null timestamps after the year 2106, due to a
+  limitation in the gzip format.)
+
+** Bug fixes
+
+  A use of uninitialized memory on some malformed inputs has been fixed.
+  [bug present since the beginning]
+
+  A few theoretical race conditions in signal handers have been fixed.
+  These bugs most likely do not happen on practical platforms.
