+Major changes in Gzip 1.3.12 (2007-04-13)
+
+* znew now uses $TMPDIR (default /tmp) instead of always using /tmp.
+
+Major changes in Gzip 1.3.11 (2007-02-05)
+
+* As per the GNU coding standards, the behavior of gzip and its
+  companion executables no longer depend on the name used to invoke them.
+  For example, 'gzip' and 'gunzip' are no longer hard links;
+  instead, 'gunzip' is now a small program that invokes 'gzip -d'.
+
+* zdiff now checks for subsidiary gzip failures, and works around
+  bugs in IRIX 6 sh, Tru64 4.0F ksh, and Solaris 8 bash.
+
+Major changes in Gzip 1.3.10 (2006-12-30)
+
+* 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.
+
