-Changes in version 1.18:
+Changes in version 1.19:
 
-The option "-a, --trailing-error", which makes lziprecover exit with
-error status 2 if any remaining input is detected after decompressing
-the last member, has been added.
+'--merge' is now able to fix files with thousands of scattered errors
+per member by grouping the errors into clusters and then merging the
+files as if each cluster were a single error.
 
-"--merge" now detects identical files by their CRC.
+The option '-a, --trailing-error' now works with '-l, --list' and
+'-D, --range-decompress'.
 
-"--repair" now tries to detect gross damage in the file before
-attempting to repair it.
+The output of option '-l, --list' has been simplified to make it easier
+to read.
 
-"--repair" now can repair a damaged dictionary size in the header.
+In test mode, lziprecover now continues checking the rest of the files
+if any input file is a terminal.
 
-"--repair" now tries bytes at member offsets 7 to 11 first because
-errors in these bytes sometimes can't be detected until the end of the
-member.
-
-Decompression time has been reduced by 2%.
-
-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.
-
-"--merge", "--range-decompress", "--repair" and "--split" now preserve
-dates, permissions, and, when possible, ownership of the files created
-just as "--decompress" does.
-
-Dictionary size and size of trailing data (if any) are now printed when
-"-lv" is specified.
-
-The new option "-A, --alone-to-lz", which converts lzma-alone files to
-lzip format without recompressing, just adding a lzip header and
-trailer, has been added. Only streamed files with default LZMA
-properties can be converted; non-streamed lzma-alone files lack the end
-of stream marker required in lzip files.
-
-The new option "-W, --debug-decompress=<pos>,<val>", which sets the byte
-<pos> to the value <val> and then decompresses to stdout the resulting
-corrupt data, has been added.
-
-The new option "-X, --show-packets", which shows the LZMA packets
-(coding sequences) coded in a given file, has been added.
-
-The short name of option "--debug-delay" has been changed to "-Y".
-
-The short name of option "--debug-repair" has been changed to "-Z".
-
-The new options "-B, --block", "-d, --delta", "-t, --truncate" and "-z,
---zcmp" have been added to unzcrash.
-
-Unzcrash now can read files as large as RAM allows.
-
-Unzcrash now compares the output of the decompressor for the original
-and corrupt files when the decompressor returns with zero status. For
-this unzcrash needs a 'zcmp' program able to understand the format being
-tested. For example the one provided by 'zutils'.
-
-Unzcrash now accepts negative position (relative to the end of file) and
-negative size (relative to the rest of the file).
-
-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.
+Trailing data are now shown both in hexadecimal and as a string of
+printable ASCII characters.
