-Changes in version 1.12:
+Changes in version 1.13:
 
-The value of the version test macro 'LZ_API_VERSION' is now defined as
-1000 * major + minor. For version 1.12 it is 1012.
-This change does not affect the soversion.
+The variables AR and ARFLAGS can now be set from configure. (Before you
+needed to run 'make AR=<ar_command>'. (Reported by Hoël Bézier).
 
-The new function 'LZ_api_version', which returns the LZ_API_VERSION of the
-library object code being used, has been added to lzlib.
+In case of error in a numerical argument to a command line option, minilzip
+now shows the name of the option and the range of valid values.
 
-If end of file is found at member trailer or EOS marker,
-'LZ_decompress_errno' now returns 'LZ_unexpected_eof' instead of
-'LZ_data_error'.
+'minilzip --check-lib' now checks that LZ_API_VERSION and LZ_version_string
+match.
 
-Decompression speed has been slightly increased.
+Several descriptions have been improved in manual, '--help', and man page.
 
-A bug has been fixed in minilzip that falsely reported a library stall when
-decompressing a file with empty members.
-
-The new option '--check-lib', which compares the version of lzlib used to
-compile minilzip with the version actually being used, has been added to
-minilzip.
-
-Minilzip now reports an error if a file name is empty (minilzip -t "").
-
-Option '-o, --output' now behaves like '-c, --stdout', but sending the
-output unconditionally to a file instead of to standard output. See the new
-description of '-o' in the manual. This change is not backwards compatible.
-Therefore commands like:
-  minilzip -o foo.lz - bar < foo
-must now be split into:
-  minilzip -o foo.lz - < foo
-  minilzip bar
-or rewritten as:
-  minilzip - bar < foo > foo.lz
-
-When using '-c' or '-o', minilzip now checks whether the output is a
-terminal only once.
-
-Minilzip now does not even open the output file if the input file is a terminal.
-
-The words 'decompressed' and 'compressed' have been replaced with the
-shorter 'out' and 'in' in the verbose output of minilzip when decompressing
-or testing.
-
-It has been documented in the manual that 'LZ_(de)compress_close' and
-'LZ_(de)compress_errno' can be called with a null argument.
-
-It has been documented in the manual that the LZMA marker '3' ("Sync Flush"
-marker) is not allowed in lzip files. Marker '3' is a device for interactive
-communication between applications using lzlib, but is useless and wasteful
-in a file, and is excluded from the media type 'application/lzip'. The LZMA
-marker '2' ("End Of Stream" marker) is the only marker allowed in lzip
-files.
-
-It has been documented in the manual that not calling 'LZ_decompress_finish'
-prevents lzlib from detecting a truncated member.
-
-It has been documented in the manual that 'LZ_decompress_read' returns at
-least once per member so that 'LZ_decompress_member_finished' can be called
-(and trailer data retrieved) for each member, even for empty members.
-Therefore, 'LZ_decompress_read' returning 0 does not mean that the end of
-the stream has been reached.
-
-It has been documented in the manual that 'LZ_(de)compress_read' can be
-called with a null buffer pointer argument.
-
-Real code examples for the most common uses of the library have been added
-to the tutorial.
-
-'bbexample.c' has been simplified to not use 'LZ_(de)compress_write_size'.
-
-'lzcheck' now accepts options '-s' (to check LZ_compress_sync_flush) and
-'-m' (to check member by member decompression).
-
-'lzcheck.c' now also tests member by member decompression without
-intermediate calls to 'LZ_decompress_finish'.
-
-The new file 'ffexample.c', containing example functions for file-to-file
-compression/decompression, has been added to the distribution.
-
-The commands needed to extract files from a tar.lz archive have been
-documented in the output of 'minilzip --help' and in the man page.
-
-'make install-bin' no longer installs the minilzip man page. This is to
-prevent 'make install-bin install-man-compress' from installing the man page
-twice before compressing it.
-
-The new targets 'install-bin-compress' and 'install-bin-strip-compress',
-which install a (stripped) minilzip and a compressed man page, have been
-added to the Makefile.
-
-9 new test files have been added to the testsuite.
+The texinfo category of the manual has been changed from 'Data Compression'
+to 'Compression' to match that of gzip. (Reported by Alfred M. Szmidt).
