GNU gzip NEWS -*- outline -*-
+* Noteworthy changes in release 1.6 (2013-06-09) [stable]
+
+** New features
+
+ gzip now accepts the --keep (-k) option, for consistency with tools
+ like xz, lzip and bzip2. With this option, gzip no longer removes
+ named input files when compressing or decompressing.
+
+** Bug fixes
+
+ gzip -d no longer malfunctions with certain invalid data in 'pack' format.
+ [bug introduced in gzip-0.8]
+
+ When overwriting, gzip no longer acts as if you typed "y" when you type "n",
+ on some platforms when compiled with optimization.
+ [bug introduced in gzip-1.3.6]
+
+ 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.
