"* 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."
Best, Matthias

Thanks. Merged.
