4 Changes in 1.1.2 (19 March 98)
5 - added contrib/minzip, mini zip and unzip based on zlib (Gilles Vollant)
6 See http://www.winimage.com/zLibDll/unzip.html
7 - preinitialize the inflate tables for fixed codes, to make the code
8 completely thread safe (Mark)
9 - some simplifications and slight speed-up to the inflate code (Mark)
10 - fix gzeof on non-compressed files (Allan Schrum)
11 - add -std1 option in configure for OSF1 to fix gzprintf (Martin Mokrejs)
12 - use default value of 4K for Z_BUFSIZE for 16-bit MSDOS (Tim Wegner + Glenn)
13 - added os2/Makefile.def and os2/zlib.def (Andrew Zabolotny)
14 - add shared lib support for UNIX_SV4.2MP (MATSUURA Takanori)
15 - do not wrap extern "C" around system includes (Tom Lane)
16 - mention zlib binding for TCL in README (Andreas Kupries)
17 - added amiga/Makefile.pup for Amiga powerUP SAS/C PPC (Andreas Kleinert)
18 - allow "make install prefix=..." even after configure (Glenn Randers-Pehrson)
19 - allow "configure --prefix $HOME" (Tim Mooney)
20 - remove warnings in example.c and gzio.c (Glenn Randers-Pehrson)
21 - move Makefile.sas to amiga/Makefile.sas
22
23 Changes in 1.1.1 (27 Feb 98)
24 - fix macros _tr_tally_* in deflate.h for debug mode (Glenn Randers-Pehrson)
25 - remove block truncation heuristic which had very marginal effect for zlib
26 (smaller lit_bufsize than in gzip 1.2.4) and degraded a little the
27 compression ratio on some files. This also allows inlining _tr_tally for
28 matches in deflate_slow.
29 - added msdos/Makefile.w32 for WIN32 Microsoft Visual C++ (Bob Frazier)
30
31 Changes in 1.1.0 (24 Feb 98)

33 - revert to the zlib 1.0.8 inflate to avoid the gcc 2.8.0 bug (Jeremy Buhler)
34 - compile with -DFASTEST to get compression code optimized for speed only
35 - in minigzip, try mmap'ing the input file first (Miguel Albrecht)
36 - increase size of I/O buffers in minigzip.c and gzio.c (not a big gain
37 on Sun but significant on HP)
38
39 - add a pointer to experimental unzip library in README (Gilles Vollant)
40 - initialize variable gcc in configure (Chris Herborth)
41

53 . ZALLOC the value area for huft_build() instead of using stack
54 . Simplify Z_FINISH check in inflate()
55

70 - include sys/types.h to get off_t on some systems (Marc Lehmann & QingLong)
71 - use constant arrays for the static trees in trees.c instead of computing
72 them at run time (thanks to Ken Raeburn for this suggestion). To create
73 trees.h, compile with GEN_TREES_H and run "make test".
74 - check return code of example in "make test" and display result
75 - pass minigzip command line options to file_compress

120 (but the symbol Z_PARTIAL_FLUSH is kept for compatibility with 1.0.4)
121 - suppress history buffer provided by application to simplify the interface
122 (this feature was not implemented anyway in 1.0.4)

173 - avoid useless assignment of s->check to itself in inflate_blocks_new

187
188 Changes in 1.0.4 (24 Jul 96)
189 - In very rare conditions, deflate(s, Z_FINISH) could fail to produce an EOF
190 bit, so the decompressor could decompress all the correct data but went
191 on to attempt decompressing extra garbage data. This affected minigzip too.
192 - zlibVersion and gzerror return const char* (needed for DLL)
193 - port to RISCOS (no fdopen, no multiple dots, no unlink, no fileno)
194 - use z_error only for DEBUG (avoid problem with DLLs)
195
196 Changes in 1.0.3 (2 Jul 96)
197 - use z_streamp instead of z_stream *, which is now a far pointer in MSDOS
198 small and medium models; this makes the library incompatible with previous
199 versions for these models. (No effect in large model or on other systems.)
200 - return OK instead of BUF_ERROR if previous deflate call returned with
201 avail_out as zero but there is nothing to do
202 - added memcmp for non STDC compilers
203 - define NO_DUMMY_DECL for more Mac compilers (.h files merged incorrectly)

211 - Bytef is define's instead of typedef'd only for Borland C
212 - avoid reading uninitialized memory in example.c
213 - mention in README that the zlib format is now RFC1950
214 - updated Makefile.dj2
215 - added algorithm.doc

294 - don't use unsized arrays to avoid silly warnings by Visual C++:
295 warning C4746: 'inflate_mask' : unsized array treated as '__far'
296 (what's wrong with far data in far model?).
297 - define enum out of inflate_blocks_state to allow compilation with C++
298
299 Changes in 0.95 (16 Aug 95)
300 - fix MSDOS small and medium model (now easier to adapt to any compiler)
301 - inlined send_bits
302 - fix the final (:-) bug for deflate with flush (output was correct but
303 not completely flushed in rare occasions).
304 - default window size is same for compression and decompression
305 (it's now sufficient to set MAX_WBITS in zconf.h).
306 - voidp -> voidpf and voidnp -> voidp (for consistency with other
307 typedefs and because voidnp was not near in large model).
308
309 Changes in 0.94 (13 Aug 95)

352 Changes in 0.9 (1 May 95)
353 - don't assume that zalloc clears the allocated memory (the TurboC bug
354 was Mark's bug after all :)
355 - let again gzread copy uncompressed data unchanged (was working in 0.71)
356 - deflate(Z_FULL_FLUSH), inflateReset and inflateSync are now fully implemented
357 - added a test of inflateSync in example.c
358 - moved MAX_WBITS to zconf.h because users might want to change that.
359 - document explicitly that zalloc(64K) on MSDOS must return a normalized
360 pointer (zero offset)
361 - added Makefiles for Microsoft C, Turbo C, Borland C++

363
364 Changes in 0.8 (29 April 95)
365 - added fast inflate (inffast.c)

395 - fix some MSDOS compilation problems
396
397 Changes in 0.5:

402 - added deflateReset and inflateReset
403 - added a variable zlib_version for consistency checking.

412 - renamed deflateOptions as deflateInit2, call one or the other but not both
413 - added the method parameter for deflateInit2.
414 - added inflateInit2
