I am pleased to announce the release of zutils 1.10.
Zutils is a collection of utilities able to process any combination of
compressed and uncompressed files transparently. If any file given,
including standard input, is compressed, its decompressed content is used.
Compressed files are decompressed on the fly; no temporary files are created.
These utilities are not wrapper scripts but safer and more efficient C++
programs. In particular the option '--recursive' is very efficient in those
utilities supporting it.
The utilities provided are zcat, zcmp, zdiff, zgrep, ztest, and zupdate.
The formats supported are bzip2, gzip, lzip, and xz.
Zutils uses external compressors. The compressor to be used for each format
is configurable at runtime.
zcat, zcmp, zdiff, and zgrep are improved replacements for the shell scripts
provided by GNU gzip. ztest is unique to zutils. zupdate is similar to
gzip's znew.

This release is also GPG signed. You can download the signature by appending
'.sig' to the URL. If the 'gpg --verify' 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 8FE99503132D7742
Key fingerprint = 1D41 C14B 272A 2219 A739 FA4F 8FE9 9503 132D 7742
Changes in version 1.10:
* A compilation issue with Solaris 10 has been fixed.
* 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 made in GNU
grep 3.2 and reverted in GNU grep 3.5.
* 'make check' now tests empty input files with all tools except zupdate.
Please send bug reports and suggestions to zutils-bug@nongnu.org
Regards,
Antonio Diaz, zutils author and maintainer.
