-Changes in version 0.5:
-
-The lzip_decompress module has been updated to version 5.4.18.
-
-Xlunzip now reports an error if a file name is empty (xlunzip -t "").
-
-The words 'decompressed' and 'compressed' have been replaced with the
-shorter 'out' and 'in' in the verbose output when decompressing or testing.
-
-Decompression speed has been slightly increased.
-
-A compilation error with GCC 10 has been fixed. (Reported by Daniel Baumann).
-
-The commands needed to extract files from a tar.lz archive have been
-documented in the output of '--help' and in the man page.
-
-Xlunzip now compiles on DOS with DJGPP. (Patch from Robert Riebisch).
-
-The configure script now accepts appending options to CFLAGS using the
-syntax 'CFLAGS+=OPTIONS'.
-
-9 new test files have been added to the testsuite.
+Changes in version 0.6:
+
+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:
+ xlunzip -d -o foo - bar.lz < foo.lz
+must now be split into:
+ xlunzip -d -o foo - < foo.lz
+ xlunzip -d bar.lz
+or rewritten as:
+ xlunzip -d - bar.lz < foo.lz > foo
+
+In-place decompression of concatenated files should now work for any
+combination of files as long as they fit in memory and their total
+decompressed size is smaller than LONG_MAX minus a small extra space.
+
+The README file now includes an analysis of the amount of memory required
+for in-place decompression.
