        * m4/.cvsignore: Likewise.

        * gzip.c (handled_sig): Move out of install_signal_handlers, and
        move previous to all uses of SIGPIPE, to fix a bug encountered when
        porting to mingw32.  Reported by Robert Millan in
        <https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gzip/2007-11/msg00007.html>.

        * doc/gzip.texi: Adjust to new fdl.texi format, in gnulib.

        * Makefile.am (gzip.doc.gz, check-local): Depend on $(bin_PROGRAMS).
        (gzip.doc.gz): Use our gzip, not the system-installed one.
        Problem reported by Chris Staub in
        <https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gzip/2007-10/msg00000.html>.

2007-07-03  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * COPYING: Update to GPLv3.  All uses changed.

2007-06-13  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

2007-05-07  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * NEWS: 'gzip -f foo.gz' now works instead of complaining.
        * gzip.c (make_ofname): Implement this.
        Problem reported by Sven Hartrumpf in
        <https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gzip/2007-05/msg00003.html>.

        * NEWS, gzip.1: Document that case is ignored when looking at file name
        extensions.
        * doc/gzip.texi (Overview): Likewise.

2007-05-04  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * Makefile.am (.in): Substitute @bindir@, not BINDIR, for
        consistency with other substitutions.
        (check-local): Use --__bindir . rather than setting GZIP_BINDIR=.,
        to allay security concerns voiced by Joerg Lehners in
        <https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gzip/2007-04/msg00003.html>.
        * gunzip.in, gzexe.in, zcat.in, zcmp.in, zdiff.in, zegrep.in, zfgrep.in:
        * zforce.in, zgrep.in, zless.in, zmore.in, znew.in:
        Support --__bindir rather than GZIP_BINDIR.

        * gunzip.in, zcat.in, zcmp.in: Support --help and --version
        directly, to avoid some confusion in help and version output.
        Problem reported by Eric Blake in
        <https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gzip/2007-04/msg00006.html>.

2007-04-28  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * m4/shell.m4 (AC_PROG_SHELL): Check for old-fashioned shells that
        don't allow "(" in front of case labels.  Problem reported by midair
        in <https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gzip/2007-04/msg00004.html>.
        Also, check for buggy shells that require ";;" before "esac".

2007-04-13  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * NEWS: Version 1.3.12 released.
        * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Likewise.

        * README: Update year in copyright notice.
        * m4/shell.m4: Add copyright notice.

        * bootstrap (gnulib_tool_option_extras): Put this back; it was
        inadvertently omitted from gnulib.
        (gnulib_tool_option): Use it.
        * .cvsignore: Add *._bootmp*.
        * lib/.cvsignore: Add stdlib.h, stdlib_.h, time.h, time_.h, unistd.h.
        Remove alloca.c, alloca.h, alloca_.h, exit.h, getdelim.c, getdelim.h,
        getline.c, getline.h, malloc.c, mbchar.c, mbchar.h, mbuiter.h, memchr.c,
        regcomp.c, regex.c, regex.h, regex_internal.c, regex_internal.h,
        regexec.c, rpmatch.c, stdint.h, stdint_.h, strcase.h, strcasecmp.c,

        Remove alloca.m4, codeset.m4, getdelim.m4, getline.m4,
        longlong.m4, mbchar.m4, mbiter.m4, mbrtowc.m4, memchr.m4, regex.m4,
        rpmatch.m4, ssize_t.m4, stdint.m4 strcase.m4, timespec.m4, ulonglong.m4,
        wchar_t.m4, wcwidth.m4, wint_t.m4.

2007-03-29  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>  (tiny change)

        * znew.in (tmp): Use $TMPDIR as temp directory, if given.
        Suggested by Juan Manuel Guerrero.

2007-03-19  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * README-hacking: New file, renamed from README-cvs.
        * README-cvs: Remove.
        * bootstrap: Sync from today's gnulib.
        * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add 'time'.
        * gzip.c: Don't include timespec.h; 'time' fixes time.h for that.
        * zip.c: Likewise.
        * gzip.c: Don't include time.h or sys/time.h; gzip.h now includes
        time.h, which is now enough.
        * gzip.h: Include <time.h>.

2007-03-14  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * README (WARNING): Reword to avoid mention of no-longer-existing
        section in INSTALL file.  Problem reported by Paul Townsend in
        <https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gzip/2007-03/msg00000.html>.

2007-02-11  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * gzip.c (foreground): Initialize to zero.  This doesn't fix a bug
        since C guarantees it's zero, but it's more consistent with the
        rest of the code.  Problem reported by Mark Adler.

2007-02-08  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * zdiff.in: Don't use '((' in a shell script, as it's not portable
        to some ksh implementations, e.g., Solaris 10 ksh M-11/16/88i.
        Problem reported by Nelson H. F. Beebe in
        <https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gzip/2007-02/msg00005.html>.

2007-02-05  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * NEWS: Version 1.3.11 released.
        * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Likewise.

        * doc/gzip.texi: Convert Texinfo format into a more modern style.
        Put in current output samples.

        * .cvsignore: Add *.gz, gunzip, zcat, zcmp, zegrep, zfgrep.
        * lib/.cvsignore: Add sys_time_.h, unistd_.h.
        * m4/.cvsignore: Add gnulib-common.m4, sys_time_h.m4.

        * gunzip.in, zcat.in, zcmp.in, zegrep.in, zfgrep.in: New files.
        * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add them.
        (bin_SCRIPTS, MOSTLYCLEANFILES): Add gunzip, zcat, zcmp, zdgrep, zfgrep.
        (.in): Use GZIP_BINDIR as the location of gzip binaries, if it is set.
        (check-local): Use GZIP_BINDIR.
        (install-exec-hook, remove-installed-links): Make 'uncompress' an
        alias for gunzip.
        * gzexe.1: At least one arg is required.  Don't give cat as an
        example, since gzexe refuses to compress cat due to a bootstrapping
        issue.  List more utilities in this category.
        * gzexe.in, zdiff.in, zforce.in, zgrep.in, zless.in, zmore.in, znew.in:
        Report our name in usage.
        * gzexe.in: Don't compress bash.  Don't use rmdir, so it's
        OK to compress rmdir.
        * gzip.c: Now requires that you compile with -DGNU_STANDARD=0 to
        get non GNU-standard behavior.  We now build with GNU-standard
        behavior by default, so that programs do not depend on the names
        of their executables.
        * zdiff.in: Don't depend on the name of the executable, as per
        GNU standard.  Instead, rely on an internal --__cmp option.
        Support ' in options.  Check for failures in subsidiary gzip
        invocations.
        * zgrep.1: Clarify compression issues.
        * zgrep.in: Don't assume POSIX-style case syntax.  Remove unused var
        have_optarg.
        * zless.1: zless sets LESSMETACHARS now.

2007-01-10  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * m4/shell.m4 (AC_PROG_SHELL): Test that $(...) works.
        Problem reported for SGI IRIX 6 by Nelson H. F. Beebe in
        <https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gzip/2007-01/msg00007.html>.

2007-01-04  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * zdiff.in (cmp0): New var.
        Rewrite test for /dev/fd/3 to detect bugs in Solaris 8
        /bin/bash 2.03.  Problem reported by Nelson H. F. Beebe in
        <https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gzip/2007-01/msg00001.html>.
        Avoid "for file; do", which doesn't work with Solaris 8 /bin/sh.

2007-01-03  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * zdiff.in: Test /dev//fd/3, not /dev/fd/3, to work around a problem
        with Tru64 4.0F ksh M-11/16/88f reported by Thomas Koutcher in
        <https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gzip/2007-01/msg00000.html>.

2006-12-30  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * NEWS: Version 1.3.10 released.
        * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Likewise.

        * Makefile.am (check-local): Don't assume $(srcdir) is '.'.
        (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Move gzip.doc.gz from here ...
        (MOSTLYCLEANFILES): ... to here.

2006-12-29  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * zless.in: Work around a bug in less 394 and earlier; it
        mishandles $%=~ in file names.  Problem reported by
        Sami Liedes in <https://bugs.debian.org/383358>.

        * doc/gzip.texi: Swap order of dircategory entries, to pacify
        Debian install-info 1.10.28.  This should fix
        <https://bugs.debian.org/404048>.

        * zgrep.in (version): Fix bug: $grep wasn't evaluated.

        * zgrep.in: Rewrite to make the option processing more
        compatible with GNU and POSIX grep.  Assume POSIX shell
        for more stuff, since we're already assuming that.
        * Makefile.am (check-local): Check zgrep -iV.

2006-12-26  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        Fix Debian bug 367673 <https://bugs.debian.org/367673> plus several
        other bugs discovered in the neighborhood.
        * NEWS: gzip -q now exits with status 2 (not 1) on SIGPIPE.
        zgrep has many bugs fixed with argument handling, special characters,
        and exit status.
        * gzip.c (abort_gzip_signal): Implement gzip -q change.
        * zgrep.in: Implement zgrep change.

2006-12-23  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * NEWS: Fix bug reported by Martin Mares in
        <https://bugs.debian.org/177942>.
        * gzip.c (treat_stdin): Remove NO_STDIN_FSTAT and NO_PIPE_TIMESTAMP
        stuff.  It didn't work (led to syntax errors) and was confusing.
        Report an error if stdin cannot be statted even if !list && no_time.
        Get stdin's size if it is regular.
        (treat_file): Do not report an error with setuid, setgid,
        sticky, or non-regular, non-directory files if to_stdout.
        Allow 'force' to override the caution about sticky files.
        Use the same form for timestamps that treat_stdin uses.

        * zdiff.in: Fix typo that broke most usages.  Problem reported by
        Jari Aalto in <https://bugs.debian.org/404114>.  While we're at it,
        fix a bunch of other problems.  Handle "-" better.  Send
        diagnostics to stderr, not stdout.  Use expr rather than echo |
        sed, to handle special characters better.  Report a diagnostic in
        the 1-arg case, if the argument doesn't end in .gz or the like,
        rather than having incomprehensible behavior.  Do not require that
        the inputs be regular files.  Avoid creating a temporary entirely,
        if /dev/fd works.  If not, then resist denial-of-service attacks
        better, by using mktemp.
        * NEWS: Document this.
        * Makefile.am (gzip.doc.gz): New rule.
        (check-local): Depend on it, and test zdiff for Debian bug 404114.

2006-12-22  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * zdiff.1: Mention that these programs currently understand only
        formats that gzip does.  Problem reported by Jari Aalto in
        <https://bugs.debian.org/404099>.

2006-12-20  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * inflate.c (huft_build): Fix regression that caused gzip to
        refuse to uncompress null input (all zero length codes).  Problem
        reported by Yiorgos Adamopoulos.  This regression was caused by
        the security patch installed 2006-11-20, which in turn came from
        Debian, which in turn apparently came from Thomas Biege of SuSe.

2006-12-15  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * NEWS, configure.ac (AC_INIT):
        Version 1.3.9 released.

        * Makefile.am (MOSTLYCLEANFILES): Add _match.i.
        * configure.ac (for an assembler syntax supported by this package):
        Remove _match.i.

        * bootstrap (gnulib_tool_options_extras): New var.
        (gnulib_tool_options): Use it.
        * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_tool_options_extras): Avoid getline and
        rpmatch.  gzip doesn't need them, since it doesn't ENABLE_NLS.

2006-12-13  Bruno Haible  <bruno@clisp.org>

        * configure.ac: Use $CPPFLAGS everywhere $CPP is used, and use
        $CPPFLAGS $CFLAGS everywhere $CC is used.
        * lib/Makefile.am (match.$(OBJEXT)): Likewise.
        * configure.ac: Test the exit code of the $CPP and $ASCPPPOST commands
        separately.

2006-12-11  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * configure.ac (ASCPPPOST): Simplify to use just 'sed'.
        * lib/Makefile.am (match.$(OBJEXT)): Check for CPP failure.

2006-12-11  Bruno Haible  <bruno@clisp.org>

        Cross-compilation support.
        * configure.ac (ASCPP): Remove substituted variable.
        (ASCPPPOST, ASCPPFLAGS): New substituted variables.
        * lib/Makefile.am (ASCPP, LN_S): Remove unnecessary macro definitions.
        (match.$(OBJEXT)): Use CPP, ASCPPFLAGS, ASCPPPOST instead of ASCPP.
        * configure.ac: Add test for chown function.
        * gzip.c (treat_file) [!HAVE_CHOWN]: Don't call chown.
        * gzip.c: Include "timespec.h".  This doesn't fix any bugs, but
        it is clearer.

2006-12-11  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        The SSIZE_MAX fix didn't work on NSK, so fix it in a more-reliable
        (albeit more-complicated) way.  Problem reported by Matthew Woehlke.
        * gzip.h (read_buffer): New decl.
        * unlzw.c (unlzw): Use read_buffer rather than read.
        * zip.c (file_read): Likewise.
        * util.c (copy, fill_inbuf): Likewise.
        (read_buffer, write_buffer): New functions.
        (write_buf): Use write_buffer rather than write.

        Undo the previous SSIZE_MAX-related change; it didn't work.
        * gzip.c: Include <limits.h>.
        * util.c: Likewise.
        * gzip.h: Don't include <limits.h>.
        (INBUFSIZ): Don't worry about SSIZE_MAX here.

2006-12-08  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * NEWS, configure.ac (AC_INIT):
        Version 1.3.8 released.

        * gzexe.in (mktemp_status): New var, used to see whether
        mktemp is a known command.  Use this instead of confounding
        mktemp's existence with its success.

        * zdiff.in: Remove first line containing ":".  This follows
        up on the SEDCMD fix of 2006-12-01.
        * zforce.in: Likewise.
        * zgrep.in: Likewise.
        * zless.in: Likewise.
        * zmore.in: Likewise.
        * znew.in: Likewise.

        Fix problems in porting to NSK reported by Matthew Woehlke in
        <https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gzip/2006-12/msg00025.html> and
        <https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gzip/2006-12/msg00027.html>.
        * gzip.h: Include <limits.h>, for SSIZE_MAX.
        (INBUFSIZE): Don't make it any larger than SSIZE_MAX.
        Problem reported by Matthew Woehlke in
        <https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gzip/2006-11/msg00013.html>.
        * gzip.c: Don't include <limits.h>, as gzip.h now does this.
        * util.c: Likewise.
        * gzip.c (main): Set exiting_signal before installing signal handlers.
        (install_signal_handlers): Don't set exiting_signal here.  This
        fixes a C99ism.
        * zip.c: Include timespec.h, for time_stamp type.

2006-12-08  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>  (tiny change)

        * gzexe.in: Work around FreeBSD shell trap bug.

        zless, zmore, znew.
        * doc/.cvsignore: Add Makefile.
        * lib/.cvsignore: Add .deps, Makefile, alloca.h, config.h, fcntl.h,
        stamp-h1, stdint.h, sys.

        * configure.ac (for assembler): Set ASFLAGS_config to
        -Wa,--noexecstack if this seems advisable on this platform.
        Problem reported by Mike Frysinger in
        <https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gzip/2006-12/msg00018.html>.
        * lib/Makefile.am (match.$(OBJEXT)): Use ASFLAGS_config.

2006-12-07  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * Makefile.am (install-exec-hook): Fix bug when installing
        symbolic links as aliases.  Problem reported by Mike Frysinger.

        * deflate.c (deflate_fast, deflate): Avoid core dump.  Problem
        originally reported by Jochen Friedrich and trivial patch supplied
        by Anthony Towns; see <https://bugs.debian.org/184057>.

2006-12-06  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * NEWS, configure.ac (AC_INIT):
        Version 1.3.7 released.

2006-12-06  Bruno Haible  <bruno@clisp.org>  (tiny change)
        and Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * Makefile.am (MOSTLYCLEANFILES): Likewise.
        * lib/Makefile.am (match.$(OBJEXT)): Likewise.
        (MOSTLYCLEANFILES): Likewise.

2006-12-06  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * NEWS: Document the fixes below.
        * configure.ac (AC_CHECK_FUNCS_ONCE): Add siginterrupt.
        * gzip.c (lstat) [!defined(HAVE_LSTAT) && !defined(lstat)]: Remove.
        (SA_NOCLDSTOP, sigprocmask, sigset_t) [!defined SA_NOCLDSTOP]:
        New macros.
        (siginterrupt) [!defined SA_NOCLDSTOP && ! HAVE_SIGINTERRUPT]:
        New macro.
        (HAVE_WORKING_O_NOFOLLOW): Define to 0 if not defined.
        (caught_signals, exiting_signal, remove_ofname_fd): New vars.
        (remove_ofname): Remove; all uses changed to remove_ofname_fd.
        (same_file, name_too_long): Remove.
        (install_signal_handlers): New function.  It prefers sigaction,
        which is more reliable in the presence of race conditions.
        Catch SIGXCPU and SIGXFSZ, too.
        (main): Use it instead of installing them by hand.
        (treat_file): Check for read error when closing ifd.
        (treat_file, create_outfile, remove_output_file):
        Avoid race conditions with signals.
        (create_outfile, check_ofname): Remove most of the gorp about
        working around ENAMETOOLONG deficiencies.  It's obsolete now, and
        anyway it had race conditions.  Just rely on O_EXCL and
        ENAMETOOLONG.  The worst that can happen is that a file name will
        be silently truncated on an obsolete machine, but no data will be lost.
        (open_and_stat): Use HAVE_WORKING_O_NOFOLLOW rather than O_NOFOLLOW
        to work around some O_NOFOLLOW bugs.  Otherwise, fall back on
        lstat only if lstat is available, as symlinks don't exist otherwise.
        (open_input_file): Use O_NONBLOCK and O_NOCTTY too, to avoid
        hanging gzip on special files.
        (abort_gzip_signal): If sigaction is not available, ignore
        signals.  If we get the exiting signal, exit with ERROR status
        rather than raising a signal.
        * tailor.h (NO_ST_INO): Remove; no longer used now that same_file
        is gone.

2006-12-05  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        Port to Tandem NSK/OSS, which lacks fchdir.  Problem reported by
        Matthew Woehlke in
        <https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gzip/2006-11/msg00013.html>.
        * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Remove openat, as it pulls in
        fchdir.
        * configure.ac: Check for fdopendir.
        * gzip.c: Don't include openat.h; no longer needed.
        (treat_dir) [!HAVE_FDOPENDIR]: Fall back on the old opendir method
        since fdopendir is not available.

2006-12-04  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * NEWS: Describe the following change briefly.
        * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Remove stat-macros; no longer
        needed.
        * gzip.c: Don't include stat-macros.h; no longer needed.
        (treat_file): Refuse to compress files that are setuid, or setgid,
        as this can in theory lead to security holes.  Also, refuse to
        compress files with the sticky bit set, on general principle.
        (copy_stat): Don't copy the setuid, setgid, or sticky bits,
        as (given the above change) they'll always be zero here.
        Invoke chown before chmod, to close a race condition.

        * .cvsignore: Add *.doc, build-aux.
        * doc/.cvignore: New file.
        * lib/.cvsignore: New file.
        * m4/.cvsignore: New file.

2006-12-01  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * doc/gzip.texi (Overview): Mention limits of gzip format's
        timestamps.  Also, gzip doesn't always preserve timestamps.

        * gzip.c (abort_gzip_signal): Don't call abort () as a "safeguard",
        since it actually causes a core dump.  Problem reported by
        Jakub Bogusz.

        * NEWS: Describe gzexe changes noted below.
        * Makefile.am (.in): Don't bother with SEDCMD.  This stuff isn't needed
        any more (the hosts it caters to are long extinct), and was
        questionable anyway since the code assumes the skip= line was line 2.
        * configure.ac (AC_SYS_INTERPRETER, SEDCMD): Remove; no longer needed.

        * gzexe.in: Sweep the code and fix some bugs.
        My, what sharp teeth you have, gzexe!
        The straw that broke this camel's back was Matthew Burgess's bug report
        <https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gzip/2006-11/msg00012.html>.

        (IFS): Set it to the standard value, both here and in the
        script gzexe generates.
        Check for missing operand after parsing options, not before.
        This fixes the case for "cpexe --".
        Check for tail -n problem separately in gzexe and in the executable
        it generates, in case it's a different 'tail'.
        (trap): Remove $tmp only if $tmp is not the empty string.
        Preserve exit status.
        Don't use the nonstandard (and rarely available) "cpmod" utility.
        Don't use "set -C"; it's no longer useful and it breaks things
        in some cases.
        (main loop): Handle file names beginning with "-".
        Exit with status of failing program, not with 1.
        Fix some bugs in printing diagnostics, and in quoting.
        Require the skip= line to have at least one digit.
        Use test -u and test -g rather than using the (less-reliable) ls.
        Refuse to compress more programs, e.g., sh.
        Use mktemp rather than tempfile.  Build a copy of
        the compressed or uncompressed executable in the same
        directory as the executable, as that's less likely to go wrong
        if disk space is low.  Have the executable exit with status 127,
        not 1, if the decompression process fails; this is more compatible
        with meta-programs like nohup.  Have the executable
        uncompress to a temp file with the same basename as the executable;
        this is more likely to go right.  Fix a race condition where the
        executable temporarily did not exist (in either old or new forms).
        Check for race conditions better when mv fails.  Do not attempt
        to use cp to do the real work, only to copy permissions to a temp
        file, since we don't want to trash running executables.

2006-11-26  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * inflate.c (inflate_dynamic, inflate): Don't send output to
        stderr unless DEBUG is defined and 'verbose'.  Problem reported by
        Santiago Vila.

        * zgrep.in: If the file name contains newline, &, \, or |, escape
        the character so that 'sed' doesn't mishandle it as a replacement.
        Problem reported by Bdale Garbee.

2006-11-25  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * gzip.1 (OPTIONS): ouput -> output.  Problem reported by Matt
        Taggart.
        * vms/gzip.hlp: Likewise.

        * Makefile.am (FILES_TO_CHECK): New macro.
        (check-local): Check only the files in FILES_TO_CHECK, since some
        files under the working directory might be mutating as the test is
        run, e.g., with "make check >log".  Problem reported by Jim
        Meyering.

2006-11-20  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * NEWS, configure.ac (AC_INIT):
        Version 1.3.6 released.

        * NEWS: Describe 1.3.6's changes.

        (AC_PREREQ): Bump to 2.60.
        (AC_INIT): Bump version to 1.3.6.
        (AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR): New.
        (AC_CONFIG_HEADERS): Move config.h to lib.
        Input is now lib/config.hin.
        (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Add gnits, dist-shar.
        (AC_PROG_CC_STDC): New, replacing AC_PROG_CC.
        (AM_PROG_CC_C_O, AC_PROG_RANLIB): New.
        (AC_AIX, AC_GNU_SOURCE, AC_MINIX): Remove; gnulib does them now.
        (gl_EARLY, gl_INIT): New.
        match.c was moved to lib/match.c.
        (AC_CHECK_HEADERS_ONCE): Replace AC_CHECK_HEADERS.  Don't check
        for sys/utime.h or utime.h.
        (AC_CHECK_FUNCS_ONCE): Replace AC_CHECK_FUNCS.  Check for fchmod
        and fchown, not utime.
        (AC_REPLACE_FUNCS): Remove; rpmatch is now done by gnulib.
        (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Add doc/Makefile, lib/Makefile.

        * bits.c: Use the more-usual form for copyright notices in source code.
        * deflate.c: Likewise.
        * gzip.c: Likewise.
        * gzip.h: Likewise.
        * inflate.c: Likewise.
        * lzw.h: Likewise.
        * revision.h: Likewise.
        * tailor.h: Likewise.
        * trees.c: Likewise.
        * unpack.c: Likewise.
        * unzip.c: Likewise.
        * util.c: Likewise.
        * crypt.c (dummy): Add decl so that pedantic compilers won't
        complain about an empty file.
        * gzip.c (license_msg): Use more-modern wording.
        Include fcntl-safer.h, openat.h, stat-macros.h, stat-time.h.
        Simply include <dirent.h> if !NO_DIR, removing a rats-nest of
        #ifdefs.
        Simply include <utimens.h> if !defined NO_UTIME, removing a
        another rats-nest of #ifdefs.
        (DIR_OPT, TIME_OPT): Remove.
        (_D_EXACT_NAMLEN): Renamed from NAMLEN.  All uses changed.
        (S_ISDIR, S_ISREG, O_BINARY, O_CREAT, O_EXCL, S_IRUSR, S_IWUSR):
        Remove; gnulib now does this.
        (RETSIGTYPE): Remove; Autoconf does this.
        (program_name): Renamed from progname, for compatibility with gnulib.
        All uses changed.
        (time_stamp): Now struct timespec, not time_t.  All uses changd.
        (remove_oftime): Now volatile.
        (reset_times): Remove; now done by futimens.
        (usage): Remove.
        (try_help): New function.
        (help, license): Don't output date as part of version.
        A version number suffices.
        (help): Redo help message to match style of coreutils etc.
        (version): Don't bother printing compile-time configuration info
        like STDC_HEADERS.
        (main): Don't assume strlen (argv[0]) < INT_MAX (!).
        On usage errors, suggest --help without outputting all the help.
        (main, do_list): Remove unnecessary casts.
        (treat_stdin, treat_file, get_method, copy_stat):
        Support sub-second timestamp resolution.
        (treat_file, copy_istat): Close some race conditions if files are
        renamed as we read or write them.
        (treat_file): Do not attempt to reset the access times of
        directories that we read.
        (open_and_stat, open_input_file): New functions.
        (do_stat, get_istat): Remove; most of the contents went to these new
        functions.
        (make_ofname): Don't use WARN, as it affects exit status.
        (get_method): When the original file name was truncated,
        restore from its base name, not from its full name.
        (do_list): Avoid undefined behavior with out-of-range timestamps.
        ctime, for example, cannot be invoked on arbitrary timestamps safely,
        since it might overrun an internal buffer.  Do not assume that
        localtime succeeds.
        (copy_stat): Do not remove input file; that's now the caller's
        responsibility.  This avoids a problem if there is a write error
        when the caller closes the output file.
        (treat_dir): New arg FD, to avoid a race condition.  All uses changed.
        (remove_output_file): New function.
        (abort_gzip): Use it.
        (abort_gzip_signal): New function, which is async-signal-safe.
        Exit with the signal that we got.
        * gzip.h (program_name, time_stamp, abort_gzip): Adjust decls to
        match gzip.c changes.
        * inflate.c (huft_build): Return 2 if null input.
        * tailor.h (HAVE_UTIME): Do not define; gnulib does this now.
        (OPEN): Use open_safer, not plain open.
        * unlzh.c (NPT): Set to 1<<TBIT, not to the maximum of NT and NP.
        (make_table): Report an error if 1<<tablebits < nextcode.
        (read_pt_len): Report an error if 16 < c.
        * unpack.c (read_tree): Report an error if the tree has too many
        leaves while reading it.  Fix off-by-one error in final check.
        * util.c: Include <xalloc.h>, for xalloc_die decl.
        (gzip_base_name): Renamed from base_name, so we don't collide
        with gnulib.  All uses changed.
        (add_envopt): Use xstrdup instead of xmalloc+strcpy.
        Use xcalloc rather than calloc + check.
        (gzip_error): Renamed from error, so we don't collide with gnulib.
        All uses changed.
        (xalloc_die): New function.
        (xmalloc): Remove; no longer needed.
        * zip.c (zip): Watch for timestamp overflow; the old code
        mishandled negative timestamps.

        * gzexe.in: Add support for --help, --version, --.
        Don't call basename or sed if we can avoid it.
        * zdiff.in: Likewise.
        * zforce.in: Likewise.
        * zgrep.in: Likewise.
        * zless.in: Likewise.
        * zmore.in: Likewise.
        * znew.in: Likewise.
        * zdiff.in: Protect against file names beginning with "-".
        * zmore.in: Likewise.
        * zgrep.in: Use printf rather than echo, to avoid problems with
        leading "-" and backslash.  Return status of subsidiary grep.
        * zless.in: Add copyright notice.

        * zless.1: We now pass "--" to LESSOPEN.
        (BUGS): Mention that input file arguments are required.
        Add copyright notice.

        * COPYING: Update to current version.

        * Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): New macro.
        (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS): Remove; now done in configure.ac.
        (M4DIR, ACINCLUDE_INPUTS): Remove.
        (EXTRA_DIST): Remove getopt.h.
        (gzip_SOURCES): Remove getopt.c, getopt1.c, yesno.c.
        (gzip_LDADD): Change from @LIBOBJS@ to lib/libgzip.a.
        (AM_MAKEINFOFLAGS, info_TEXINFOS, gzip_TEXINFOS, ASCPP, LN_S):
        (match.$(OBJEXT)): Move to subdirectory makefiles.
        (.in): Substitute @VERSION@, too.
        (check-local): New rule.
        (MOSTLYCLEANFILES): Add _match.S.

        * doc/gzip.texi: Renamed from gzip.texi.  Change to GNU FDL
        without invariant sections or cover texts.  Don't put
        version number or date into sample gzip -h output.
        * lib/match.c: Renamed from match.c.  Add ia64 version
        written by Sverre Jarp (HP Labs).

        * INSTALL: Remove from CVS; now created automatically by
        the bootstrap script.
        * Makefile.in: Likewise.
        * aclocal.m4: Likewise.
        * config.h.in: Likewise.

2002-09-30  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * NEWS, README, revision.h, configure.in (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE):
        Revision 1.3.5, dated today.

        * util.c (fprint_off): Fix bug in printing values greater than
        10 * 2**32 bytes.  Bug reported by Bryan Andersen.

        * Makefile.am (match.$(OBJEXT)): Use .S as extension for $(ASCPP),
        to keep gcc happy.
        * configure.in: Likewise.
        Upgrade assembly-language checking for Autoconf 2.54, using cache vars.
        (AC_PROG_CPP, AC_OBJEXT): Add.

        * match.c: Accept __i386 and __i386__ as synonyms for i386.
        Bug reported by "fork __" <bouloumag@hotmail.com>.

2002-09-29  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * gzip.texi (Overview): Suggest how to use gunzip on zip files.

        * zless.1, zless.in: Use LESSOPEN, not PAGER.
        Suggested by <antos@MAST.queensu.ca>.

2002-09-28  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * zforce.in: Use shell pattern matching instead of 'expr', which
        mishandles names like "+".  Remove old check for 14-byte file
        names on hosts with broken "mv" implementations, as such systems
        aren't in use any more and it's better nowadays to support file
        names longer than 14 bytes.  Rely on "mv"'s error-reporting.
        This fixes a portability bug reported by Ralf Neubauer, along
        with some other bugs.

        Remove dangling output symlinks properly.
        Bug reported by Kalle Olavi Niemitalo.
        * gzip.c (lstat): New macro, for platforms lacking lstat.
        (do_stat): Use it.
        (name_too_long, check_ofname): Use lstat instead of stat.

2002-09-27  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * zforce.in: Use "gzip -lv", not "gzip -v".  Patch by Ralf
        Neubauer.

        * configure.in (ASCPP): Don't use test -a, as POSIX says it's
        not portable.
        * znew.in: Likewise.
        * zmore.in: Likewise.  Similarly, don't use test -o, or test -t
        with no operand.

        * gzexe.in (PATH): Set to same as other programs.
        Don't assume "tail +22" works; POSIX removed this.
        Check against compressing "tail".
        Check against "skip=" line with no integer.
        * zgrep.in: Exit with status 2 if trouble, for consistency with grep.

        * gzip.c (main): Avoid core dump in diagnostic message if
        incorrect suffix is given.

2002-09-26  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * zdiff.in: Use "trap -" instead of "trap".  Patch by Nicolas Boullis.
        Use names, not numbers, for signals.  Patch by Andrew Stribblehill.

        * NEWS, README, revision.h, configure.in (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE):
        Revision 1.3.4, dated today.

        * README-alpha: Upgrade to Autoconf 2.54 and Automake 1.7.
        * configure.in (AC_PREREQ): Move to start, and increase to 2.54.
        (AC_INIT, AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE, AC_CONFIG_SRCDIR, AC_CONFIG_FILES,
        AC_OUTPUT): Use modern style.
        (AC_OBJEXT, AC_EXEEXT): Remove; obsolete.
        (AC_GNU_SOURCE): Add.
        (AC_HEADER_STDC): Renamed from AC_STDC_HEADERS.
        (AC_CHECK_HEADERS): Remove stdlib.h, string.h, unistd.h; now done
        by Autoconf.
        (AC_SUBST): Remove CFLAGS; now done by Autoconf.

        * gzip.texi: Use the GNU FDL for distribution terms, following the
        recipe in the Texinfo manual.  Use Automake-generated variables
        for date and version.
        * fdl.texi, mdate-sh: New files.
        * Makefile.am (AM_MAKEINFOFLAGS): Add --no-split.
        (gzip_TEXINFOS): New macro.

        * tailor.h (NO_DIR): Define to 1, not the empty string.
        * gzip.c (NO_DIR): Define to 0 if not defined.  All uses changed.
        (usage): Don't put '#if' inside printf, as the C standard says
        that it is not portable if printf is a macro.

        Don't lose output when decompressing truncated input.
        Bug reported by Nadav Har'El.
        * inflate.c (GETBYTE): New macro.
        (NEXTBYTE): Use it.
        (inflate_dynamic, inflate_block): Add a local variable w, needed
        by GETBYTE.

2002-03-08  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * NEWS, README, revision.h, gzip.texi,
        configure.in (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Revision 1.3.3, dated today.

        * README-alpha: Now using latest stable GNU tools.
        Using the latest tools allows gzip to build correctly on hosts
        conforming to POSIX 1003.1-2001.

         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

         Added warning about 'rehash' in INSTALL.
         Removed default value of read_buf in bits.c (supermax doesn't like).
         In tailor.h, added support for Borland C and Zortech C on OS/2.
         Added warning in gzexe about Ultrix buggy sh (use /bin/sh5 instead).

        * version 1.0.5
          For VMS, restore the file type for variable record format, otherwise
            extract in fixed length format (not perfect, but better than
