WARNING - UNSTABLE BETA VERSION
===============================
All versions 1.9x are unstable beta releases - use them only for testing,
and never distribute a program that is packed with them !
There will be hidden bugs. Really.
The current stable release is 1.25, and the next stable release
will be called version 2.00.
The main news since 1.25 are:
- slightly better compression using the new NRV2E algorithm
- new options for compression tuning (e.g. `--brute')
- support for bootable Linux kernels ("vmlinuz/386")
- support for Linux kernel building ("vmlinux/386")
- direct Linux ELF-to-memory decompression ("linux/elf386") and
shell-to-memory decompression ("linux/sh386")
- support for arm/WinCE ("arm/pe") exes
- support for mach/ppc32
- support for Linux elf/ppc32
- support for Linux elf/amd64
- support for playstation exes ("ps1/exe")
- lots of new bugs ;-) take care
