-Changes in version 1.3:
+Changes in version 1.4:
-Lzlib has been translated to C from the C++ source of lzlib 1.2. This
-has been done to avoid the dependency on libstdc++, making lzlib useful
-in more environments.
+Multi-step trials have been implemented.
-Quote characters in messages have been changed as advised by GNU Coding
-Standards.
+Compression ratio has been slightly increased.
-Configure option "--datadir" has been renamed to "--datarootdir" to
-follow GNU Standards.
+Compression time has been reduced by 8%.
+
+Decompression time has been reduced by 7%.
+
+Arguments and return values of functions in lzlib.h have been changed
+from 'long long' to 'unsigned long long'.
+
+The minimum size of the input compression buffer has been reduced to 64KiB.
+
+"LZ_decompress_read" now tells "LZ_header_error" from "LZ_unexpected_eof"
+the same way as lzip does when the EOF happens at the header.
+
+The target "install-as-lzip" has been added to the Makefile.
+
+The target "install-bin" has been added to the Makefile.
