- 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)

  -Wconversion -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes"

- allow gzread on concatenated .gz files

- deflateEnd now returns Z_DATA_ERROR if it was premature

- 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).

- don't assume that char is signed (problem on SGI)

- Clear bit buffer when starting a stored block

- no memcpy on Pyramid

- suppressed inftest.c

- optimized fill_window, put longest_match inline for gcc

- 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"

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

  pointer (zero offset)

- 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()
