2016-05-17  Antonio Diaz Diaz  <antonio@gnu.org>

	* Version 1.8 released.
	* decoder.c (LZd_verify_trailer): Removed test of final code.
	* main.c: Added new option '-a, --trailing-error'.
	* main.c (main): Delete '--output' file if infd is a terminal.
	* main.c (main): Don't use stdin more than once.
	* configure: Avoid warning on some shells when testing for gcc.
	* Makefile.in: Detect the existence of install-info.
	* testsuite/check.sh: A POSIX shell is required to run the tests.

	* Version 1.6 released.
	* Compression ratio of option '-9' has been slightly increased.
	* configure: Added new option '--disable-static'.
	* configure: Added new option '--disable-ldconfig'.
	* Makefile.in: Ignore errors from ldconfig.
	* Makefile.in: Use 'CFLAGS' in every invocation of 'CC'.

2013-09-15  Antonio Diaz Diaz  <antonio@gnu.org>

	* Version 1.5 released.
	* Removed decompression support for version 0 files.
	* The LZ_compress_sync_flush mechanism has been fixed (again).
	* Minor fixes.

2013-05-28  Antonio Diaz Diaz  <antonio@gnu.org>

	* Version 1.4 released.
	* Multi-step trials have been implemented.
	* Compression ratio has been slightly increased.
	* Compression time has been reduced by 8%.
	* Decompression time has been reduced by 7%.
	* lzlib.h: Changed 'long long' values to 'unsigned long long'.
	* encoder.c (Mf_init): Reduce minimum buffer size to 64KiB.
	* lzlib.c (LZ_decompress_read): Tell LZ_header_error from
	  LZ_unexpected_eof the same way as lzip does.
	* Makefile.in: Added new target 'install-as-lzip'.

2012-02-29  Antonio Diaz Diaz  <ant_diaz@teleline.es>

	* Version 1.3 released.
	* Translated to C from the C++ source of lzlib 1.2.

	* Version 1.2 released.
	* encoder.h (Lee_update_prices): Update high length symbol prices
	  independently of the value of 'pos_state'. This gives better
	  compression for large values of '--match-length' without being
	  slower.
	* encoder.h encoder.cc: Optimize pair price calculations. This
	  reduces compression time for large values of '--match-length'
	  by up to 6%.
	* main.cc: Added new option '-F, --recompress'.
	* Makefile.in: 'make install' no more tries to run
	  '/sbin/ldconfig' on systems lacking it.

	* Match length limits set by options -1 to -9 of minilzip have
	  been changed to match those of lzip 1.11.
	* main.cc: Set stdin/stdout in binary mode on OS2.
