-Changes in version 1.10:
+Changes in version 1.11:
-The function 'LZ_compress_finish' now adjusts the dictionary size for
-each member.
+In case of decompression error caused by corrupt or truncated data,
+LZ_decompress_read now does not signal the error immediately to the
+application, but waits until all decoded bytes have been read. This
+allows tools like tarlz to recover as much data as possible from damaged
+members.
-The option '--loose-trailing', has been added to minilzip.
+It is now an error to specify two different operations to minilzip in
+the command line (--decompress and --test).
-The test used by lzlib to discriminate trailing data from a corrupt
-header in multimember or concatenated files has been improved to a
-Hamming distance (HD) of 3, and the 3 bit flips must happen in different
-magic bytes for the test to fail. As a consequence, lzlib now returns a
-data error when some kinds of files are appended to a lzip file as
-trailing data.
-The '--loose-trailing' option of minilzip can be used to ignore such
-trailing data when decompressing.
-Lziprecover can be used to remove conflicting trailing data from a file.
+Minilzip now also checks for errors when closing the input file.
-Option '-S, --volume-size' of minilzip now keeps input files unchanged.
+Minilzip now compiles on DOS with DJGPP. (Patch from Robert Riebisch).
-The 'bits/byte' ratio has been replaced with the inverse compression
-ratio in the output of minilzip.
+The descriptions of '-0..-9', '-m' and '-s' in the manual have been
+improved.
-minilzip now shows a final diagnostic at verbosity level 1 (-v) or
-higher if any file fails the test when testing multiple files.
+It has been documented that it is safe to call 'LZ_(de)compress_finish'
+as many times as needed. Examples in the manual have been simplified.
-minilzip no longer adds a second '.lz' extension to the argument of '-o'
-if it already ends in '.lz' or '.tlz'.
+The configure script now accepts appending options to CFLAGS using the
+syntax 'CFLAGS+=OPTIONS'.
-minilzip now shows the dictionary size at verbosity level 4 (-vvvv) when
-decompressing or testing.
+Makefile targets 'install-bin*' have been renamed to 'install-lib*'. New
+'install-bin*' targets have been created that install a shared minilzip,
+or a static minilzip if the shared library has not been configured.
-The new chapter 'Invoking minilzip' has been added to the manual.
+It has been documented in INSTALL the use of
+CFLAGS+='-D __USE_MINGW_ANSI_STDIO' when compiling on MinGW.
