This is to announce a beta release of gzip.
http://www.gnu.org/software/gzip/Actually I'm convinced that this is production quality software, but there has been so little feedback, I'm going to err on the side of caution and call it "beta". Besides, there were a few portability problems with the last beta release, and this release will serve to ensure that they've been fixed. There have been a few bug fixes (nothing major, see NEWS below), and we've inherited a few portability fixes from gnulib. Distro maintainers: please send any pending patches to the bug-gzip mailing list (if possible in git format-patch format, per instructions in http://git.sv.gnu.org/cgit/coreutils.git/plain/HACKING) and I'll try to take them off your hands. Here are the compressed sources: ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/gzip/gzip-1.3.14.tar.gz (828KB) ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/gzip/gzip-1.3.14.tar.xz (556KB) Here are the GPG detached signatures[*]: ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/gzip/gzip-1.3.14.tar.gz.sig ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/gzip/gzip-1.3.14.tar.xz.sig [*] You can use either of the above signature files to verify that the corresponding file (without the .sig suffix) is intact. First, be sure to download both the .sig file and the corresponding tarball. Then, run a command like this: gpg --verify gzip-1.3.14.tar.gz.sig If that command fails because you don't have the required public key, then run this command to import it: gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys B9AB9A16 and rerun the `gpg --verify' command. This release was bootstrapped with the following tools: Autoconf 2.64.69-81c80 Automake 1.11a Gnulib v0.0-2793-gb3602e8 NEWS * Noteworthy changes in release 1.3.14 (2009-10-30) [beta] ** Bug fixes gzip no longer fails when there is exactly one trailing NUL byte gzip has always accepted trailing NUL bytes. Note the plural. zdiff would exit with status 2 (indicating an error) rather than 1 to indicate differences when both inputs were compressed and different. zdiff would fail to print differences in two compressed inputs zgrep -f - didn't work
