- Removed some vestigial code in inflate
- Update web address in README

Changes in 1.0.4 (24 Jul 96)
- In very rare conditions, deflate(s, Z_FINISH) could fail to produce an EOF
  bit, so the decompressor could decompress all the correct data but went
  on to attempt decompressing extra garbage data. This affected minigzip too.

  small and medium models; this makes the library incompatible with previous
  versions for these models. (No effect in large model or on other systems.)

- inlined send_bits
- fix the final (:-) bug for deflate with flush (output was correct but
  not completely flushed in rare occasions).
- default window size is same for compression and decompression
  (it's now sufficient to set MAX_WBITS in zconf.h).

- Clear bit buffer when starting a stored block
- no memcpy on Pyramid

- Document the memory requirements in zconf.h
- added "make install"
- fix sync search logic in inflateSync

Changes in 0.9 (1 May 95)
- don't assume that zalloc clears the allocated memory (the TurboC bug
  was Mark's bug after all :)
- let again gzread copy uncompressed data unchanged (was working in 0.71)
- deflate(Z_FULL_FLUSH), inflateReset and inflateSync are now fully implemented

- faster crc32()

Changes in 0.8 (29 April 95)
- added fast inflate (inffast.c)
- deflate(Z_FINISH) now returns Z_STREAM_END when done. Warning: this
  is incompatible with previous versions of zlib which returned Z_OK.
- work around a TurboC compiler bug (bad code for b << 0, see infutil.h)
  (actually that was not a compiler bug, see 0.81 above)
- gzread no longer reads one extra byte in certain cases
- In gzio destroy(), don't reference a freed structure
- avoid many warnings for MSDOS
- avoid the ERROR symbol which is used by MS Windows

Changes in 0.71 (14 April 95)
- Fixed more MSDOS compilation problems :( There is still a bug with
  TurboC large model.

Changes in 0.7 (14 April 95)
- Added full inflate support.
- Simplified the crc32() interface. The pre- and post-conditioning
  (one's complement) is now done inside crc32(). WARNING: this is
  incompatible with previous versions; see zlib.h for the new usage.

- don't allocate big arrays in the stack (for MSDOS)
- fix some MSDOS compilation problems

Changes in 0.5:

  not yet Z_FULL_FLUSH.
- support decompression but only in a single step (forced Z_FINISH)
- added opaque object for zalloc and zfree.
- added deflateReset and inflateReset
- added a variable zlib_version for consistency checking.
- renamed the 'filter' parameter of deflateInit2 as 'strategy'.
  Added Z_FILTERED and Z_HUFFMAN_ONLY constants.

Changes in 0.4:
- avoid "zip" everywhere, use zlib instead of ziplib.
- suppress Z_BLOCK_FLUSH, interpret Z_PARTIAL_FLUSH as block flush
  if compression method == 8.
- added adler32 and crc32
- renamed deflateOptions as deflateInit2, call one or the other but not both
- added the method parameter for deflateInit2.
- added inflateInit2
- simplied considerably deflateInit and inflateInit by not supporting
  user-provided history buffer. This is supported only in deflateInit2
  and inflateInit2.

Changes in 0.3:
- prefix all macro names with Z_
- use Z_FINISH instead of deflateEnd to finish compression.
- added Z_HUFFMAN_ONLY
- added gzerror()
