-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%.

+from 'long long' to 'unsigned long long'.

+The minimum size of the input compression buffer has been reduced to 64KiB.

+
+The target "install-bin" has been added to the Makefile.
