+ newsyslog(8) will no longer compress rotated files by default.
+ The J, X, Y, Z flags in newsyslog.conf(5) configuration files now
+ signify "treat the file as compressible" instead of "compress the
+ file with the specified method." A new command line option, -c, has
+ been introduced to allow specification of a new compression type
+ or to restore historical behavior.

+ in your /etc/crontab to include "-c legacy". For more details,
+ consult the newsyslog(8) manual page.
