Update to 1.5
Changelog:
* Noteworthy changes in release 1.5 (2012-06-17) [stable]
** Bug fixes
gzip -d now decodes and checks header CRC16 checksums as specified by
the FHCRC section of Internet RFC 1952.
"gzip -d -S '' precious.gz" is now rejected immediately. Before,
that command would emulate "rm -i precious.gz", but with an easily-
misunderstood prompt. I.e., gzip would ask if it's ok to remove the
existing file, "precious.gz". If you made the mistake of saying \
"yes",
it would remove that input file before attempting to uncompress it.
gzip -cdf now properly handles input consisting of gzip'd data followed
by uncompressed data. Before it would output raw compressed input, too.
For example, now "(printf x|gzip; echo y)|gzip -dcf" prints \
"xy\n",
while before it would print "x<compressed data>y\n".
gzip -rf no longer compresses files more than once (e.g., replacing
FOO with FOO.gz.gz) on file systems such as ZFS where a readdir
loop that unlinks and creates files can revisit output files.
