+- Update to new upstream release 1.16
+* The new options "-K, --skip-size" and "-T, --timeout" have been
+  added. The short name of option "--try-again" has been changed to
+  "-A". Maximum skip size is now limited to 1% of infile size or 1
+  GiB (whichever is smaller). The current position is now set to
+  the end of the block when reading backwards, allowing perfect
+  resumability also in reverse mode. The "-E, --max-error-rate"
+  option now checks the rate of actually failed reads, not the
+  growth of error size, and shows the error rate in the error
+  message. The -v option increases verbosity if repeated.
