ChangeLog file for zlib
+Changes in 1.1.1 (27 Feb 98)
+- fix macros _tr_tally_* in deflate.h for debug mode (Glenn Randers-Pehrson)
+- remove block truncation heuristic which had very marginal effect for zlib
+ (smaller lit_bufsize than in gzip 1.2.4) and degraded a little the
+ compression ratio on some files. This also allows inlining _tr_tally for
+ matches in deflate_slow.
+- added msdos/Makefile.w32 for WIN32 Microsoft Visual C++ (Bob Frazier)
+
+Changes in 1.1.0 (24 Feb 98)
+- do not return STREAM_END prematurely in inflate (John Bowler)
+- revert to the zlib 1.0.8 inflate to avoid the gcc 2.8.0 bug (Jeremy Buhler)
+- compile with -DFASTEST to get compression code optimized for speed only
+- in minigzip, try mmap'ing the input file first (Miguel Albrecht)
+- increase size of I/O buffers in minigzip.c and gzio.c (not a big gain
+ on Sun but significant on HP)
+
+- add a pointer to experimental unzip library in README (Gilles Vollant)
+- initialize variable gcc in configure (Chris Herborth)
+
+Changes in 1.0.9 (17 Feb 1998)
+- added gzputs and gzgets functions
+- do not clear eof flag in gzseek (Mark Diekhans)
+- fix gzseek for files in transparent mode (Mark Diekhans)
+- do not assume that vsprintf returns the number of bytes written (Jens Krinke)
+- replace EXPORT with ZEXPORT to avoid conflict with other programs
+- added compress2 in zconf.h, zlib.def, zlib.dnt
+- new asm code from Gilles Vollant in contrib/asm386
+- simplify the inflate code (Mark):
+ . Replace ZALLOC's in huft_build() with single ZALLOC in inflate_blocks_new()
+ . ZALLOC the length list in inflate_trees_fixed() instead of using stack
+ . ZALLOC the value area for huft_build() instead of using stack
+ . Simplify Z_FINISH check in inflate()
+
+- Avoid gcc 2.8.0 comparison bug a little differently than zlib 1.0.8
+- in inftrees.c, avoid cc -O bug on HP (Farshid Elahi)
+- in zconf.h move the ZLIB_DLL stuff earlier to avoid problems with
+ the declaration of FAR (Gilles VOllant)
+- install libz.so* with mode 755 (executable) instead of 644 (Marc Lehmann)
+- read_buf buf parameter of type Bytef* instead of charf*
+- zmemcpy parameters are of type Bytef*, not charf* (Joseph Strout)
+- do not redeclare unlink in minigzip.c for WIN32 (John Bowler)
+- fix check for presence of directories in "make install" (Ian Willis)
+
+Changes in 1.0.8 (27 Jan 1998)
+- fixed offsets in contrib/asm386/gvmat32.asm (Gilles Vollant)
+- fix gzgetc and gzputc for big endian systems (Markus Oberhumer)
+- added compress2() to allow setting the compression level
+- include sys/types.h to get off_t on some systems (Marc Lehmann & QingLong)
+- use constant arrays for the static trees in trees.c instead of computing
+ them at run time (thanks to Ken Raeburn for this suggestion). To create
+ trees.h, compile with GEN_TREES_H and run "make test".
+- check return code of example in "make test" and display result
+- pass minigzip command line options to file_compress
+- simplifying code of inflateSync to avoid gcc 2.8 bug
+
+- support CC="gcc -Wall" in configure -s (QingLong)
+- avoid a flush caused by ftell in gzopen for write mode (Ken Raeburn)
+- fix test for shared library support to avoid compiler warnings
+- zlib.lib -> zlib.dll in msdos/zlib.rc (Gilles Vollant)
+- check for TARGET_OS_MAC in addition to MACOS (Brad Pettit)
+- do not use fdopen for Metrowerks on Mac (Brad Pettit))
+- add checks for gzputc and gzputc in example.c
+- avoid warnings in gzio.c and deflate.c (Andreas Kleinert)
+- use const for the CRC table (Ken Raeburn)
+- fixed "make uninstall" for shared libraries
+- use Tracev instead of Trace in infblock.c
+- in example.c use correct compressed length for test_sync
+- suppress +vnocompatwarnings in configure for HPUX (not always supported)
+

+- fix configure for Linux (Chun-Chung Chen)
+- increase stack space for MSC (Tim Wegner)
+- get_crc_table and inflateSyncPoint are EXPORTed (Gilles Vollant)

+
+Changes in 1.0.6 (19 Jan 1998)

+ gzsetparams (thanks to Roland Giersig and Kevin Ruland for some of this code)

+ Andy Buckler for finding this one).
+- In minigzip, pass transparently also the first byte for .Z files.
+- return Z_BUF_ERROR instead of Z_OK if output buffer full in uncompress()
+- check Z_FINISH in inflate (thanks to Marc Schluper)
+- Implement deflateCopy (thanks to Adam Costello)
+- make static libraries by default in configure, add --shared option.
+- move MSDOS or Windows specific files to directory msdos
+- suppress the notion of partial flush to simplify the interface
+ (but the symbol Z_PARTIAL_FLUSH is kept for compatibility with 1.0.4)
+- suppress history buffer provided by application to simplify the interface
+ (this feature was not implemented anyway in 1.0.4)
+- next_in and avail_in must be initialized before calling inflateInit or
+ inflateInit2

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
