-Changes in version 1.7:
+Changes in version 1.8:
-The option "-0", which produces a compression speed and ratio comparable
-to those of gzip, has been ported from lzip.
+The option "-a, --trailing-error", which makes clzip exit with error
+status 2 if any remaining input is detected after decompressing the last
+member, has been added.
-The targets "install-compress", "install-strip-compress",
-"install-info-compress" and "install-man-compress" have been added to
-the Makefile.
+When decompressing or testing, up to 6 bytes of trailing data are
+printed if "-vvvv" is specified.
+
+The test of the value remaining in the range decoder has been removed.
+(After extensive testing it has been found useless to detect corruption
+in the decompressed data. Eliminating it reduces the number of false
+positives for corruption and makes error detection more accurate).
+
+When decompressing, the file specified with the '--output' option is now
+deleted if the input is a terminal.
+
+The new chapter "Trailing data" has been added to the manual.
+
+A harmless check failure on Windows, caused by the failed comparison of
+a message in text mode, has been fixed.
