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-1.18.

A harmless check failure on Windows, caused by the failed comparison of
a message in text mode, has been fixed.
