+- Update to new upstream release 1.6
+* Compression ratio of option -9 has been slightly increased.
+* Minilzip now copies file dates, permissions, and ownership like
+  `cp -p`. (If the user ID or the group ID cannot be duplicated,
+  the file permission bits S_ISUID and S_ISGID are cleared).
+* The license has been changed to "GPL version 2 or later with link
+  exception".
