-Changes in version 1.17:
+Changes in version 1.18:
-Merging files now uses an algorithm similar to the ones used to solve
-the "Master Mind" game, which makes it much faster. Up to 2 orders of
-magnitude faster depending on number of files and number of errors.
-Please, report as a bug any files correctly merged by lziprecover 1.16
-that this version can't merge.
+"--repair" now tries to detect gross damage in the file before
+attempting to repair it.
-Repair time has been reduced by 15%.
+"--repair" now tries bytes at member offsets 7 and 8 first because
+errors in these bytes sometimes can't be detected until the end of the
+member.
-The new option "-y, --debug-delay", which finds the max error detection
-delay in a given range of positions, has been added.
-
-The new option "-z, --debug-repair", which test repairs a one-byte error
-at a given position, has been added.
-
-The targets "install-compress", "install-strip-compress",
-"install-info-compress" and "install-man-compress" have been added to
-the Makefile.
-
-The chapter "File names" has been added to the manual.
+The new option "-x, --show-packets", which shows the LZMA packets
+(coding sequences) coded in a given file, has been added.
