503 - use constant arrays for the static trees in trees.c instead of computing
504 them at run time (thanks to Ken Raeburn for this suggestion). To create

619
620 Changes in 1.0.4 (24 Jul 96)
621 - In very rare conditions, deflate(s, Z_FINISH) could fail to produce an EOF
622 bit, so the decompressor could decompress all the correct data but went
623 on to attempt decompressing extra garbage data. This affected minigzip too.
624 - zlibVersion and gzerror return const char* (needed for DLL)
625 - port to RISCOS (no fdopen, no multiple dots, no unlink, no fileno)

627
628 Changes in 1.0.3 (2 Jul 96)
629 - use z_streamp instead of z_stream *, which is now a far pointer in MSDOS
630 small and medium models; this makes the library incompatible with previous
631 versions for these models. (No effect in large model or on other systems.)
632 - return OK instead of BUF_ERROR if previous deflate call returned with
633 avail_out as zero but there is nothing to do

726 - don't use unsized arrays to avoid silly warnings by Visual C++:
727 warning C4746: 'inflate_mask' : unsized array treated as '__far'
728 (what's wrong with far data in far model?).
729 - define enum out of inflate_blocks_state to allow compilation with C++
730
731 Changes in 0.95 (16 Aug 95)
732 - fix MSDOS small and medium model (now easier to adapt to any compiler)
733 - inlined send_bits
734 - fix the final (:-) bug for deflate with flush (output was correct but
735 not completely flushed in rare occasions).
736 - default window size is same for compression and decompression
737 (it's now sufficient to set MAX_WBITS in zconf.h).
738 - voidp -> voidpf and voidnp -> voidp (for consistency with other

786 was Mark's bug after all :)
787 - let again gzread copy uncompressed data unchanged (was working in 0.71)
788 - deflate(Z_FULL_FLUSH), inflateReset and inflateSync are now fully implemented
789 - added a test of inflateSync in example.c
790 - moved MAX_WBITS to zconf.h because users might want to change that.

824 - fixed bug in gzread (don't read crc as data)
825 - fixed bug in destroy (gzio.c) (don't return Z_STREAM_END for gzclose).
826 - don't allocate big arrays in the stack (for MSDOS)
827 - fix some MSDOS compilation problems
828
829 Changes in 0.5:
830 - do real compression in deflate.c. Z_PARTIAL_FLUSH is supported but
831 not yet Z_FULL_FLUSH.
832 - support decompression but only in a single step (forced Z_FINISH)
833 - added opaque object for zalloc and zfree.
834 - added deflateReset and inflateReset
835 - added a variable zlib_version for consistency checking.
836 - renamed the 'filter' parameter of deflateInit2 as 'strategy'.
837 Added Z_FILTERED and Z_HUFFMAN_ONLY constants.
838
839 Changes in 0.4:
840 - avoid "zip" everywhere, use zlib instead of ziplib.
841 - suppress Z_BLOCK_FLUSH, interpret Z_PARTIAL_FLUSH as block flush
842 if compression method == 8.
843 - added adler32 and crc32
844 - renamed deflateOptions as deflateInit2, call one or the other but not both
845 - added the method parameter for deflateInit2.
846 - added inflateInit2
847 - simplied considerably deflateInit and inflateInit by not supporting
848 user-provided history buffer. This is supported only in deflateInit2
849 and inflateInit2.
850
851 Changes in 0.3:
852 - prefix all macro names with Z_
853 - use Z_FINISH instead of deflateEnd to finish compression.
854 - added Z_HUFFMAN_ONLY
855 - added gzerror()
