Added the --name option - to force name and timestamp restoration. -* Accept - as synonym for stdin. -* Use manlinks=so or ln to support either hard links or .so in man pages -* Accept foo.gz~ in zdiff. -* Added support for Windows NT -* Handle ENAMETOOLONG for strict Posix systems -* Use --recursive instead of --recurse to comply with Webster and - the GNU stdandard. -* Allow installation of shell scripts with a g prefix: make G=g install -* Install by default zcat as gzcat if gzcat already exists in path. -* Let zmore behave as more when invoked without parameters (give help) -* Let gzip --list reject files not in gzip format even with --force. -* Don't complain about non gzip files for options -rt or -rl. -* Added advice in INSTALL for several systems. - -Major changes from 1.2.2 to 1.2.3 -* Don't display the output name when decompressing except with --verbose. -* Remove usage of alloca in getopt.c and all makefiles. -* Added the zfile shell script in subdirectory sample. -* Moved the list of compiler bugs from README to INSTALL. -* Added vms/Readme.vms. - -Major changes from 1.2.1 to 1.2.2 -* Fix a compilation error on Sun with cc (worked with gcc). - -Major changes from 1.2 to 1.2.1 -* Let zmore act as more if the data is not gzipped. -* made gzexe more secure (don't rely on PATH). -* By default, display output name only when the name was actually truncated. - -Major changes from 1.1.2 to 1.2 -* Added the --list option to display the file characteristics. -* Added the --no-name option: do not save or restore original filename - Save the original name by default. -* Allow gunzip --suffix "" to attempt decompression on any file - regardless of its extension if an original name is present. -* Add support for the SCO compress -H format. -* gzip --fast now compresses faster (speed close to that of compress) - with degraded compression ratio (but still better than compress). - Default level changed to -6 (acts exactly as previous level -5) to - be a better indication of its placement in the speed/ratio range. -* Use smart name truncation: 123456789012.c -> 123456789.c.gz - instead of 12345678901.gz -* With --force, let zcat pass non gzip'ed data unchanged (zcat == cat) -* Added the zgrep shell script. -* Made sub.c useful for 16 bit sound, 24 bit images, etc.. -* Supress warnings about suffix for gunzip -r, except with --verbose. -* On MSDOS, use .gz extension when possible (files without extension) -* Moved the sample programs to a subdirectory sample. -* Added a "Special targets" section in INSTALL. - -Major changes from 1.1.1 to 1.1.2. -* Fix serious bug for VMS (-gz not removed when decompressing). -* Allow suffix other than .gz in znew. -* Do not display compression ratio when decompressing stdin. -* In zmore.in, work around brain damaged stty -g (Ultrix). -* Display a correct compression ratio for .Z files. -* Added .z to .gz renaming script in INTALL. -* Allow setting CFLAGS in configure. -

-Major changes from 1.0.6 to 1.0.7. -* Allow zmore to read from standard input (like more). -* Support the 68000 (Atari ST) in match.S. -* Retry partial writes (required on Linux when gzip is suspended in a pipe). -* Allow full pathnames and renamings in gzexe. -* Don't let gzexe compress setuid executables or gzip itself. -* Added vms/Makefile.gcc for gcc on the Vax. -* Allow installation of binaries and shell scripts in different dirs. -* Allows complex PAGER variable in zmore (e.g.: PAGER="col -x | more") -* Allow installation of zcat as gzcat. -* Several small changes for portability to old or weird systems. -* Suppress help message and send compressed data to the terminal when - gzip is invoked without parameters and without redirection. -* Add compile option GNU_STANDARD to respect the GNU coding standards: - with -DGNU_STANDARD, behave as gzip even if invoked under the name gunzip. -(I don't like the last two changes, which were requested by the FSF.) - -Major changes from 1.0.5 to 1.0.6. -* Let gzexe detect executables that are already gzexe'd. -* Keep file attributes in znew and gzexe if cpmod is available. -* Don't try restoring record format on VMS (1.0.5 did not work correctly) -* Added asm version for 68000 in amiga/match.a. - Use asm version for Atari TT and NeXT. -* For OS/2, assume HPFS by default, add flag OS2FAT if necessary. -* Fixed some bugs in zdiff and define zcmp as a link to zdiff. - - -Major changes from 1.0.4 to 1.0.5. -* For VMS, restore the file type for variable record format, otherwise - extract in fixed length format (not perfect, but better than - forcing all files to be in stream_LF format). -* For VMS, use "-z" default suffix and accept a version number in file names. -* For Unix, allow compression of files with name ending in 'z'. Use only - .z, .*-z, .tgz, .taz as valid gzip extensions. In the last two cases, - extract to .tar by default. -* On some versions of MSDOS, files with a 3 character extension could not - be compressed. -* Garbage collect files in /tmp created by gzexe. -* Fix the 'OS code' byte in the gzip header. -* For the Amiga, add the missing utime.h and add support for gcc. - - -Major changes from 1.0.3 to 1.0.4. -* Added optimized asm version for 68020. -* Add support for DJGPP. - -* Add support for the Atari ST. -* Added zforce to rename gzip'ed files with truncated names. -* Do not install with name uncompress (some systems rely on the - absence of any check in the old uncompress). -* Added missing function (fcfree) in msdos/tailor.c -* Let gunzip handle .tgz files, and let gzip skip them. -* Added -d option (decompress) for gzexe and try preserving file permissions. -* Suppress all warnings with -q. -* Use GZIP_OPT for VMS to avoid conflict with program name. -* ... and many other small changes (see ChangeLog) - - -Major changes from 1.0.2 to 1.0.3 -* Added -K option for znew to keep old .Z files if smaller -* Added -q option (quiet) to cancel -v in GZIP env variable. -* Made gzexe safer on systems with filename limitation to 14 chars. -* Fixed bugs in handling of GZIP env variable and incorrect free with Turbo C. - - -Major changes from 1.0.1 to 1.0.2 -* Added env variable GZIP for default options. Example: - for sh: GZIP="-8 -v"; export GZIP - for csh: setenv GZIP "-8 -v" -* Added support for the Amiga. -* znew now keeps the old .Z if it is smaller than the .z file. - This can happen for some large and very redundant files. -* Do not complain about trailing garbage for record oriented IO (Vax/VMS). - This implies however that multi-part gzip files are not supported - on such systems. -* Added gzexe to compress rarely used executables. -* Reduce memory usage (required for MSDOS and useful on all systems). -* Preserve time stamp in znew -P (pipe option) if touch -r works. - - -Major changes from 1.0 to 1.0.1 -* fix trivial errors in the Borland makefile (msdos/Makefile.bor) - - -Major changes from 0.8.2 to 1.0 -* gzip now runs on Vax/VMS -* gzip will not not overwrite files without -f when using /bin/sh in - background. -* Support the test option -t for compressed (.Z) files. - Allow some data recovery for bad .Z files. -* Added makefiles for MSDOS (Only tested for MSC, not Borland). -* still more changes to configure for several systems - - -Major changes from 0.8.1 to 0.8.2: -* yet more changes to configure for Linux and other systems -* Allow zcat on a file with multiple links. - - -Major changes from 0.8 to 0.8.1: -* znew has now a pipe option -P to reduce the disk space requirements, - but this option does not preserve timestamps. -* Fixed some #if directives for compilation with TurboC. - - -Major changes from 0.7 to 0.8: -* gzip can now extract .z files created by 'pack'. -* configure should no longer believe that every machine is a 386 -* Fix the entry for /etc/magic in INSTALL. -* Add patch for GNU tar 1.11.1 and a pointer to crypt++.el -* Uncompress files with multiple links only with -f. -* Fix for uncompress of .Z files on 16-bit machines -* Create a correct output name for file names of exactly N-1 chars when - the system has a limit of N chars. - - -Major changes from 0.6 to 0.7: -* Use "make check" instead of "make test". -* Keep time stamp and pass options to gzip in znew. -* Do not create .z.z files with gzip -r. -* Allow again gunzip .zip files (was working in 0.5) -* Allow again compilation with TurboC 2.0 (was working in 0.4) - - -Major changes form 0.5 to 0.6: -* gunzip reported an error when extracting certain .z files. The .z files - produced by gzip 0.5 are correct and can be read by gunzip 0.6. -* gunzip now supports multiple compressed members within a single .z file. -* Fix the check for i386 in configure. -* Added "make test" to check for compiler bugs. (gcc -finline-functions - is broken at least on the NeXT.) -* Use environment variable PAGER in zmore if it is defined. -* Accept gzcat in addition to zcat for people having /usr/bin before - /usr/local/bin in their path. |
