+<p><b>tlmgr XXXXX (released DDmmm18):</b>
+<li>alternative fallback downloader support: if persistent connections
+ cannot be used (LWP not available), the fallback download program
+ can now be set to either wget or curl using the environment variable
+ TEXLIVE_DOWNLOADER. Esp. for MacOS and https curl is recommended.</li>
+<li>alternative compressor format support: backups and intermediate
+ rollback containers were always created with xz. By setting
+ TEXLIVE_COMPRESSOR to one of xz, lz4, gzip one can select a different
+ format. In particular lz4 and gzip are much faster in producing
+ the backup containers.</li>

<p><b>tlmgr 47303 (released 14apr18):</b>
<li>uninstall now a synonym for remove, so requiring --all to remove the
TeX Live installation.
