 v1.7.2
 Changed : moved to versioning; package, cli and library have same version number
-Improved: Small decompression speed boost (+4%)
+Improved: Small decompression speed boost
+Improved: Small compression speed improvement on 64-bits systems
 Improved: Performance on ARMv6 and ARMv7
 Added : Debianization, by Evgeniy Polyakov
 Makefile: Generates object files (*.o) for faster (re)compilation on low power systems
 Fix : cli : crash on some invalid inputs
+Fix : cli : -t correctly validates lz4-compressed files, by Nick Terrell
 
 r131
 New    : Dos/DJGPP target, thanks to Louis Santillan (#114)
