First, be sure to download both the .sig file and the corresponding tarball. Then, run a command like this: gpg --verify gzip-1.10.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 2.69.197-b8fd7 Automake 1.16a Gnulib v0.1-2305-g95c96b6dd ================================================================== NEWS * 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.
