A new, unofficial test version of gzip is now available at:

ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/gzip/gzip-1.3.5.tar.gz

This is mostly a bugfix release.  Here is a brief list of changes
since test version 1.3.

Major changes from 1.3.4 to 1.3.5
* gzip now removes any output symlink before writing output file.
* zgrep etc. scripts now port to POSIX 1003.1-2001 hosts.
* zforce no longer assumes 14-byte file name length limit.
* zless is now implemented using less and LESSOPEN, not zmore and PAGER.
* assembly-language speedups reenabled; were mistakenly disabled in 1.3.

Major changes from 1.3.3 to 1.3.4
* Less output is lost when decompressing a truncated file.
* The manual is now distributed under the terms of the GNU Free
  Documentation License.

No major changes in 1.3.2 or 1.3.3 (bug fixes only)

Major changes from 1.3 to 1.3.1
* zgrep now supports --, -H, -h, -L, -l, -C, -d, -m and their long equivalents.
