 Changes in version 1.8:
 
+The option "-a, --trailing-error", which makes lunzip exit with error
+status 2 if any remaining input is detected after decompressing the last
+member, has been added.
+
 Lunzip now verifies that the output file is regular when "low memory"
 mode is requested.
 
+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.
+
 Some error messages have been adjusted to be identical to those of
-lzip-1.17.
+lzip-1.18.
+
+A harmless check failure on Windows, caused by the failed comparison of
+a message in text mode, has been fixed.
