+ ChangeLog file for zlib
+
+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.
+- zlibVersion and gzerror return const char* (needed for DLL)
+- port to RISCOS (no fdopen, no multiple dots, no unlink, no fileno)
+- use z_error only for DEBUG (avoid problem with DLLs)
+
+Changes in 1.0.3 (2 Jul 96)
+- use z_streamp instead of z_stream *, which is now a far pointer in MSDOS
+ small and medium models; this makes the library incompatible with previous
+ versions for these models. (No effect in large model or on other systems.)
+- return OK instead of BUF_ERROR if previous deflate call returned with
+ avail_out as zero but there is nothing to do
+- added memcmp for non STDC compilers
+- define NO_DUMMY_DECL for more Mac compilers (.h files merged incorrectly)
+- define __32BIT__ if __386__ or i386 is defined (pb. with Watcom and SCO)
+- better check for 16-bit mode MSC (avoids problem with Symantec)
+
+Changes in 1.0.2 (23 May 96)
+- added Windows DLL support
+- added a function zlibVersion (for the DLL support)
+- fixed declarations using Bytef in infutil.c (pb with MSDOS medium model)
+- Bytef is define's instead of typedef'd only for Borland C
+- avoid reading uninitialized memory in example.c
+- mention in README that the zlib format is now RFC1950
+- updated Makefile.dj2
+- added algorithm.doc
+
+Changes in 1.0.1 (20 May 96) [1.0 skipped to avoid confusion]
+- fix array overlay in deflate.c which sometimes caused bad compressed data
+- fix inflate bug with empty stored block
+- fix MSDOS medium model which was broken in 0.99
+- fix deflateParams() which could generated bad compressed data.
+- Bytef is define'd instead of typedef'ed (work around Borland bug)
+- added an INDEX file
+- new makefiles for DJGPP (Makefile.dj2), 32-bit Borland (Makefile.b32),
+ Watcom (Makefile.wat), Amiga SAS/C (Makefile.sas)
+- speed up adler32 for modern machines without auto-increment
+- added -ansi for IRIX in configure
+- static_init_done in trees.c is an int
+- define unlink as delete for VMS
+- fix configure for QNX
+- add configure branch for SCO and HPUX
+- avoid many warnings (unused variables, dead assignments, etc...)
+- no fdopen for BeOS
+- fix the Watcom fix for 32 bit mode (define FAR as empty)
+- removed redefinition of Byte for MKWERKS
+- work around an MWKERKS bug (incorrect merge of all .h files)
+
+Changes in 0.99 (27 Jan 96)
+- allow preset dictionary shared between compressor and decompressor
+- allow compression level 0 (no compression)
+- add deflateParams in zlib.h: allow dynamic change of compression level
+ and compression strategy.
+- test large buffers and deflateParams in example.c

+- suppress Makefile.qnx, use configure instead
+- fixed deflate for 64-bit systems (detected on Cray)
+- fixed inflate_blocks for 64-bit systems (detected on Alpha)
+- declare Z_DEFLATED in zlib.h (possible parameter for deflateInit2)
+- always return Z_BUF_ERROR when deflate() has nothing to do
+- deflateInit and inflateInit are now macros to allow version checking
+- prefix all global functions and types with z_ with -DZ_PREFIX
+- make falloc completely reentrant (inftrees.c)
+- fixed very unlikely race condition in ct_static_init
+- free in reverse order of allocation to help memory manager
+- use zlib-1.0/* instead of zlib/* inside the tar.gz
+- make zlib warning-free with "gcc -O3 -Wall -Wwrite-strings -Wpointer-arith
+ -Wconversion -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes"
+- allow gzread on concatenated .gz files
+- deflateEnd now returns Z_DATA_ERROR if it was premature
+- deflate is finally (?) fully deterministic (no matches beyond end of input)

+- add uninstall in Makefile
+- Check for __cpluplus in zlib.h
+- Better test in ct_align for partial flush
+- avoid harmless warnings for Borland C++

+- fixed typo in zconf.h (_GNUC__ => __GNUC__)
+- check for WIN32 in zconf.h and zutil.c (avoid farmalloc in 32-bit mode)
+- fix typo in Make_vms.com (f$trnlnm -> f$getsyi)
+- in fcalloc, normalize pointer if size > 65520 bytes
+- don't use special fcalloc for 32 bit Borland C++
+- use STDC instead of __GO32__ to avoid redeclaring exit, calloc, etc...
+- use Z_BINARY instead of BINARY
+- document that gzclose after gzdopen will close the file
+- allow "a" as mode in gzopen.
+- fix error checking in gzread
+- allow skipping .gz extra-field on pipes
+- added reference to Perl interface in README
+- put the crc table in FAR data (I dislike more and more the medium model :)
+- added get_crc_table
+- added a dimension to all arrays (Borland C can't count).
+- workaround Borland C bug in declaration of inflate_codes_new & inflate_fast
+- guard against multiple inclusion of *.h (for precompiled header on Mac)
+- Watcom C pretends to be Microsoft C small model even in 32 bit mode.
+- don't use unsized arrays to avoid silly warnings by Visual C++:
+ warning C4746: 'inflate_mask' : unsized array treated as '__far'
+ (what's wrong with far data in far model?).
+- define enum out of inflate_blocks_state to allow compilation with C++
+
+Changes in 0.95 (16 Aug 95)
+- fix MSDOS small and medium model (now easier to adapt to any compiler)
+- 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).
+- voidp -> voidpf and voidnp -> voidp (for consistency with other
+ typedefs and because voidnp was not near in large model).
+
+Changes in 0.94 (13 Aug 95)
+- support MSDOS medium model
+- fix deflate with flush (could sometimes generate bad output)
+- fix deflateReset (zlib header was incorrectly suppressed)

+- avoid various warnings in gzio.c, example.c, infblock.c, adler32.c, zutil.c
+- avoid reserved word 'new' in trees.c
+
+Changes in 0.93 (25 June 95)
+- temporarily disable inline functions
+- make deflate deterministic
+- give enough lookahead for PARTIAL_FLUSH
+- Set binary mode for stdin/stdout in minigzip.c for OS/2
+- don't even use signed char in inflate (not portable enough)
+- fix inflate memory leak for segmented architectures
+
+Changes in 0.92 (3 May 95)

+- Clear bit buffer when starting a stored block
+- no memcpy on Pyramid
+- suppressed inftest.c
+- optimized fill_window, put longest_match inline for gcc
+- optimized inflate on stored blocks.
+- untabify all sources to simplify patches
+
+Changes in 0.91 (2 May 95)
+- Default MEM_LEVEL is 8 (not 9 for Unix) as documented in zlib.h
+- Document the memory requirements in zconf.h
+- added "make install"
+- fix sync search logic in inflateSync
+- deflate(Z_FULL_FLUSH) now works even if output buffer too short
+- after inflateSync, don't scare people with just "lo world"
+- added support for DJGPP
+
+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
+- added a test of inflateSync in example.c
+- moved MAX_WBITS to zconf.h because users might want to change that.
+- document explicitly that zalloc(64K) on MSDOS must return a normalized
+ pointer (zero offset)
+- added Makefiles for Microsoft C, Turbo C, Borland C++
+- 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.
+
+Changes in 0.61 (12 April 95)
+- workaround for a bug in TurboC. example and minigzip now work on MSDOS.
+
+Changes in 0.6 (11 April 95)
+- added minigzip.c
+- added gzdopen to reopen a file descriptor as gzFile
+- added transparent reading of non-gziped files in gzread.
+- fixed bug in gzread (don't read crc as data)
+- fixed bug in destroy (gzio.c) (don't return Z_STREAM_END for gzclose).
+- don't allocate big arrays in the stack (for MSDOS)
+- fix some MSDOS compilation problems
+
+Changes in 0.5:
+- do real compression in deflate.c. Z_PARTIAL_FLUSH is supported but
+ 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
