Mark Adler wrote the decompression part. It was developed as a replacement for compress because of Unisys and IBM patents covering the LZW algorithm at the time. The superior compression ratio of gzip is just a bonus. Please test this Base category utility as extensively as possible (especially if you are a Cygwin package maintainer) as this package is used in all installations and has not been upgraded for a few years. I have it locally installed so it is getting used by commands, scripts, cron jobs, and cygport builds, and has and is getting frequent exercise with no apparent issues so far. If no issues are reported within a couple of weeks the package will be upgraded to current. For more information see the project home pages: https://www.gnu.org/software/gzip/ https://sv.gnu.org/projects/gzip/ For changes since the previous Cygwin release please see below or read /usr/share/doc/gzip/NEWS after installation; for complete details see: /usr/share/doc/gzip/ChangeLog https://git.sv.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=gzip.git;a=log;h=refs/tags/v1.10 Noteworthy changes in release 1.10 (2018-12-29) [stable] * Changes in behavior Compressed gzip output no longer contains the current time as a timestamp when the input is not a regular file. Instead, the output contains a null (zero) timestamp. This makes gzip's behavior more reproducible when used as part of a pipeline. (As a reminder, even regular files will use null timestamps after the year 2106, due to a limitation in the gzip format.) * Bug fixes A use of uninitialized memory on some malformed inputs has been fixed. [bug present since the beginning] A few theoretical race conditions in signal handers have been fixed. These bugs most likely do not happen on practical platforms. [bugs present since the beginning] Noteworthy changes in release 1.9 (2018-01-07) [stable] * Bug fixes gzip -d -S SUFFIX file.SUFFIX would fail for any upper-case byte in SUFFIX. E.g., before, this command would fail: $ :|gzip > kT && gzip -d -S T kT gzip: kT: unknown suffix -- ignored [bug present since the beginning] When decompressing data in 'pack' format, gzip no longer mishandles leading zeros in the end-of-block code. [bug introduced in gzip-1.6] When converting from system-dependent time_t format to the 32-bit unsigned MTIME format used in gzip files, if a timestamp does not fit gzip now substitutes zero instead of the timestamp's low-order 32 bits, as per Internet RFC 1952. When converting from MTIME to time_t format, if a timestamp does not fit gzip now warns and substitutes the nearest in-range value instead of crashing or silently substituting an implementation-defined value (typically, the timestamp's low-order bits). This affects timestamps before 1970 and after 2106, and timestamps after 2038 on platforms with 32-bit signed time_t. [bug present since the beginning] Commands implemented via shell scripts are now more consistent about failure status. For example, 'gunzip --help >/dev/full' now consistently exits with status 1 (error), instead of with status 2 (warning) on some platforms. [bug present since the beginning] Support for VMS and Amiga has been removed. It was not working anyway, and it reportedly caused file name glitches on MS-Windowsish platforms.
