+  - bug #1112167 fixed (Temporary directory must be on same partition as target)
+    p7zip failed moving the temporary file at the end of

+
+  - use of AString instead of std::string (no more need of #include <string>")
+  - makefile.linux_gcc_2.95_no_need_for_libstdc added to build 7za for the
+    p7zip*_bin.tar.bz2 package.
+    7za provided by p7zip*_bin.tar.bz2 is build on Debian 3.0 with gcc 2.95.4

+
+  - new flag "-utf16" to enable "utf16" conversion [Bug #1075229].
+
+  - new logic to automatically enable or disable "utf16" conversion :
+    no locale, locale=="C" or locale=="POSIX" implies utf16=off
+    else  utf16=on
+    uses "-utf16" or "-no-utf16" to change this behaviour.
+    [Bug #1075229]
+
+  - 7z (compiled with -O2) works now on Sparc Solaris. 
+
+Version 4.12

+
+  - From Windows version of 7-zip 4.11 and 4.12 :

+      glibc-2.3.2\sysdeps\m88k\m88100\add_n.S
+      glibc-2.3.2\sysdeps\m88k\m88100\add_n.s 
+
