-Changes in version 1.20:
+Changes in version 1.21:
 
-The option '--loose-trailing', has been added.
+Detection of forbidden combinations of characters in trailing data has been
+improved.
 
-The test used by lzip to discriminate trailing data from a corrupt
-header in multimember or concatenated files has been improved to a
-Hamming distance (HD) of 3, and the 3 bit flips must happen in different
-magic bytes for the test to fail. As a consequence some kinds of files
-no longer can be appended to a lzip file as trailing data unless the
-'--loose-trailing' option is used when decompressing.
-Lziprecover can be used to remove conflicting trailing data from a file.
+Errors are now also checked when closing the input file.
 
-The contents of a corrupt or truncated header found in a multimember
-file are now shown, after the error message, in the same format as
-trailing data.
+Lzip now compiles on DOS with DJGPP. (Patch from Robert Riebisch).
 
-Option '-S, --volume-size' now keeps input files unchanged.
+The descriptions of '-0..-9', '-m' and '-s' in the manual have been
+improved.
 
-When creating multimember files or splitting the output in volumes, the
-dictionary size is now adjusted for each member individually.
+The configure script now accepts appending options to CXXFLAGS using the
+syntax 'CXXFLAGS+=OPTIONS'.
 
-The 'bits/byte' ratio has been replaced with the inverse compression
-ratio in the output.
-
-The progress of decompression is now shown at verbosity level 2 (-vv) or
-higher.
-
-Progress of (de)compression is only shown if stderr is a terminal.
-
-A final diagnostic is now shown at verbosity level 1 (-v) or higher if
-any file fails the test when testing multiple files.
-
-A second '.lz' extension is no longer added to the argument of '-o' if
-it already ends in '.lz' or '.tlz'.
-
-In case of (de)compressed size mismatch, the stored size is now also
-shown in hexadecimal to ease visual comparison.
-
-The dictionary size is now shown at verbosity level 4 (-vvvv) when
-decompressing or testing.
-
-The new chapter "Meaning of lzip's output" has been added to the manual.
+It has been documented in INSTALL the use of
+CXXFLAGS+='-D __USE_MINGW_ANSI_STDIO' when compiling on MinGW.
