-Changes in version 1.10:
+Changes in version 1.11:
-A portability issue with Solaris 10 has been fixed.
+A race has been fixed in zcmp and zdiff that sometimes made them return 1
+(files differ) instead of 2 (trouble) when a compressor is not found or when
+the wrong format is forced.
-It has been documented in the manual that 'zgrep -L' fails with GNU grep
-versions 3.2 to 3.4 inclusive because of a wrong change reverted in GNU grep
-3.5.
+In case of error in an argument to a command line option, all tools now show
+the name of the option.
-'make check' now tests empty input files with all tools except zupdate.
+In case of error in a numerical argument to a command line option, zcmp
+now shows the name of the option and the range of valid values.
+
+Support for the zstd format has been added to all tools. This allows, among
+other things, zupdating zstd files to lzip format for long-term archiving,
+and using zcmp along with the unzcrash tool (from the lziprecover package)
+to test zstd files.
+
+'zdiff --verbose --version' now prints the version of the diff program used
+if it supports the option '--version'.
+
+'zgrep --verbose --version' now prints the version of the grep program used
+if it supports the option '--version'.
+
+It has been documented in the manual how to recompress files with zupdate
+from a read-only file system to another place by first linking the files
+from the destination directory and then compressing the links:
+'ln -s /src/foo.gz . && zupdate foo.gz'
+
+The texinfo category of the manual has been changed from 'Data Compression'
+to 'Compression' to match that of gzip. (Reported by Alfred M. Szmidt).
