-Changes in version 1.16:
+Changes in version 1.17:
 
-Repairing of single-byte errors is now about 10 times faster depending
-on file size and position of error.
+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.
 
-Copying of file dates, permissions, and ownership now behaves like "cp -p".
-(If the user ID or the group ID can't be duplicated, the file permission
-bits S_ISUID and S_ISGID are cleared).
+The targets "install-compress", "install-strip-compress",
+"install-info-compress" and "install-man-compress" have been added to
+the Makefile.
 
-Some minor improvements have been made.
-
-"lziprecover.texinfo" has been renamed to "lziprecover.texi".
-
-The license has been changed to GPL version 2 or later.
+The chapter "File names" has been added to the manual.
