I'm happy to announce the release of gzip 1.3.10. gzip (GNU zip) is a popular data compression program written by Jean-Loup Gailly for the GNU project; Mark Adler wrote the decompression part.
This gzip release follows up on the release of gzip 1.3.9 two weeks ago, and attempts to fix correctness bugs I found in the Debian bug database, most of which predate 1.3.9. I expect 1.3.10 to become an official release shortly, but am putting it out for testing now, just in case. Please report any problems to <bug-gzip@gnu.org>. The compressed sources are here: ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/gzip/gzip-1.3.10.tar.gz (427 kB) The GPG detached signature is here: ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/gzip/gzip-1.3.10.tar.gz.sig Here are the MD5 and SHA512 digests: 8b6f74a5060f984dceb0fee877aed854 gzip-1.3.10.tar.gz b4b707f1777b63e0bee5e5ad69d31ed62ed02a1b60a01ef17334d80eff379ea4068ee487cb0867a4aeeeae2f783592a4e39c2c763ffd7735a3ff6ebea4f8ed2f gzip-1.3.10.tar.gz Here are URLs to the ChangeLog entries since the most recent version (1.3.9): http://cvs.sv.gnu.org/viewcvs/gzip/gzip/ChangeLog?r1=1.32&r2=1.44 Here are the major changes since 1.3.9, reported in the NEWS file: * gzip -c and zcat now work on special files, files with special mode bits, and files with multiple hard links. * gzip -q now exits with status 2 (not 1) when SIGPIPE is received. * zcmp and zdiff did not work in the usual case, due to a typo. * zgrep has many bugs fixed with argument handling, special characters, and exit status. * zless no longer mishandles $%=~ in file names.
