	  when '-vvvv' is specified.
	* decoder.c (LZd_verify_trailer): Removed test of final code.
	* main.c (main): Delete '--output' file if infd is a terminal.
	* main.c (main): Don't use stdin more than once.
	* clzip.texi: Added chapter 'Trailing data'.

	* Compression ratio of option '-9' has been slightly increased.
	* main.c (close_and_set_permissions): Behave like 'cp -p'.

	* Version 1.4 released.
	* Multi-step trials have been implemented.
	* Compression ratio has been slightly increased.

	* Version 1.3 released.
	* main.c (close_and_set_permissions): Inability to change output
	  file attributes has been downgraded from error to warning.

	* encoder.h (Lee_update_prices): Update high length symbol prices
	  independently of the value of 'pos_state'. This gives better
	  compression for large values of '--match-length' without being
	  slower.
	* encoder.h encoder.c: Optimize pair price calculations. This
	  reduces compression time for large values of '--match-length'
	  by up to 6%.
