-Changes in version 1.9:
+Changes in version 1.10:
-Plzip now reports an error if a file name is empty (plzip -t "").
+In case of error in a numerical argument to a command line option, plzip
+now shows the name of the option and the range of valid values.
-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 backwards compatible only
-when (de)compressing from standard input alone. Therefore commands like:
- plzip -o foo.lz - bar < foo
-must now be split into:
- plzip -o foo.lz - < foo
- plzip bar
-or rewritten as:
- plzip - bar < foo > foo.lz
+'--check-lib' now checks that LZ_API_VERSION and LZ_version_string match.
-When using '-c' or '-o', plzip now checks whether the output is a terminal
-only once.
+The variable LIBS can now be set from configure.
-Plzip now does not even open the output file if the input file is a terminal.
+Several descriptions have been improved in manual, '--help', and man page.
-The new option '--check-lib', which compares the version of lzlib used to
-compile plzip with the version actually being used at run time, has been added.
-
-The words 'decompressed' and 'compressed' have been replaced with the
-shorter 'out' and 'in' in the verbose output when decompressing or testing.
-
-When checking the integrity of multiple files, plzip is now able to continue
-checking the rest of the files (instead of exiting) if some of them fail the
-test, allowing 'plzip --test' to show a final diagnostic with the number of
-files that failed (just as 'lzip --test').
-
-Testing is now slightly (1.6%) faster when using lzlib 1.12.
-
-When compressing, or when decompressing or testing from a non-seekable file
-or from standard input, plzip now starts only the number of worker threads
-required.
-
-When decompressing or testing from a non-seekable file or from standard
-input, trailing data are now not counted in the compressed size shown.
-
-When decompressing or testing a multimember file, plzip now shows the
-largest dictionary size of all members in the file instead of showing the
-dictionary size of the first member.
-
-Option '--list' now reports corruption or truncation of the last header in a
-multimenber file specifically instead of showing the generic message "Last
-member in input file is truncated or corrupt."
-
-The error messages for 'Data error' and 'Unexpected EOF' have been shortened.
-
-The commands needed to extract files from a tar.lz archive have been
-documented in the manual, in the output of '--help', and in the man page.
-
-Tarlz is mentioned in the manual as an alternative to tar + plzip.
-
-Several fixes and improvements have been made to the manual.
-
-8 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).
