I want to release gzip-1.14 by Tuesday or Wednesday, so here's a
snapshot of the latest.  It's been more than 1.5 years since gzip-1.13,
but with a surprising performance improvement as well as some bug fixes.

Any tests (success/failure) you can tell us about would be most welcome.

Thanks from all of us,
Jim

Here's the current state of NEWS:
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=
=3D=3D
** Bug fixes

  'gzip -d' no longer omits the last partial output buffer when the
  input ends unexpectedly on an IBM Z platform.
  [bug introduced in gzip-1.11]

  'gzip -l' no longer misreports lengths of multimember inputs.
  [bug introduced in gzip-1.12]

  'gzip -S' now rejects suffixes containing '/'.
  [bug present since the beginning]

** Changes in behavior

  The GZIP environment variable is now silently ignored except for the
  options -1 (--fast) through -9 (--best), --rsyncable, and --synchronous.
  This brings gzip into line with more-cautious compressors like zstd
  that limit environment variables' effect to relatively innocuous
  performance issues.  You can continue to use scripts to specify
  whatever gzip options you like.

** Performance improvements

  gzip now decompresses significantly faster by computing CRCs via a
  slice by 8 algorithm, and faster yet on x86-64 platforms that
  support pclmul instructions.
