=============================================================

Here is the GNU gzip home page:
    http://gnu.org/s/gzip/

For a summary of changes and contributors, see:
  http://git.sv.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=gzip.git;a=shortlog;h=v1.8
or run this command from a git-cloned gzip directory:
  git shortlog v1.7..v1.8

To summarize the 35 gnulib-related changes, run these commands
from a git-cloned gzip directory:
  git checkout v1.8
  git submodule summary v1.7

=============================================================
Here are the compressed sources:
  http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gzip/gzip-1.8.tar.gz   (1.1MB)
  http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gzip/gzip-1.8.tar.xz   (712KB)

Here are the GPG detached signatures[*]:
  http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gzip/gzip-1.8.tar.gz.sig
  http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gzip/gzip-1.8.tar.xz.sig

Use a mirror for higher download bandwidth:
  http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html

[*] Use a .sig file 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-1.8.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 7FD9FCCB000BEEEE

and rerun the 'gpg --verify' command.

This release was bootstrapped with the following tools:
  Autoconf 2.69.147-5ad35
  Automake 1.99a
  Gnulib v0.1-761-gd92a0d9
