  1215. Changes in 1.0.4 (24 Jul 96)
  1216. - In very rare conditions, deflate(s, Z_FINISH) could fail to produce an EOF
  1217. bit, so the decompressor could decompress all the correct data but went
  1218. on to attempt decompressing extra garbage data. This affected minigzip too.

  1223. - use z_streamp instead of z_stream *, which is now a far pointer in MSDOS
  1224. small and medium models; this makes the library incompatible with previous
  1225. versions for these models. (No effect in large model or on other systems.)

  1233. - added Windows DLL support
  1234. - added a function zlibVersion (for the DLL support)
  1235. - fixed declarations using Bytef in infutil.c (pb with MSDOS medium model)
  1236. - Bytef is define's instead of typedef'd only for Borland C
  1237. - avoid reading uninitialized memory in example.c
  1238. - mention in README that the zlib format is now RFC1950
  1239. - updated Makefile.dj2

  1257. - no fdopen for BeOS
  1258. - fix the Watcom fix for 32 bit mode (define FAR as empty)
  1259. - removed redefinition of Byte for MKWERKS
  1260. - work around an MWKERKS bug (incorrect merge of all .h files)

  1262. - allow preset dictionary shared between compressor and decompressor
  1263. - allow compression level 0 (no compression)
  1264. - add deflateParams in zlib.h: allow dynamic change of compression level
  1265. and compression strategy.
  1266. - test large buffers and deflateParams in example.c
  1267. - add optional "configure" to build zlib as a shared library

  1280. -Wconversion -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes"
  1281. - allow gzread on concatenated .gz files
  1282. - deflateEnd now returns Z_DATA_ERROR if it was premature
  1283. - deflate is finally (?) fully deterministic (no matches beyond end of input)

  1302. - in fcalloc, normalize pointer if size > 65520 bytes
  1303. - don't use special fcalloc for 32 bit Borland C++

  1325. not completely flushed in rare occasions).

  1327. (it's now sufficient to set MAX_WBITS in zconf.h).
  1328. - voidp -> voidpf and voidnp -> voidp (for consistency with other
  1329. typedefs and because voidnp was not near in large model).
  1330. Changes in 0.94 (13 Aug 95)

  1368. - added support for DJGPP
  1369. Changes in 0.9 (1 May 95)
  1370. - don't assume that zalloc clears the allocated memory (the TurboC bug
  1371. was Mark's bug after all :)
  1372. - let again gzread copy uncompressed data unchanged (was working in 0.71)
  1373. - deflate(Z_FULL_FLUSH), inflateReset and inflateSync are now fully implemented
  1374. - added a test of inflateSync in example.c
  1375. - moved MAX_WBITS to zconf.h because users might want to change that.
  1376. - document explicitly that zalloc(64K) on MSDOS must return a normalized
  1377. pointer (zero offset)
  1378. - added Makefiles for Microsoft C, Turbo C, Borland C++
  1379. - faster crc32()
  1380. Changes in 0.8 (29 April 95)
  1381. - added fast inflate (inffast.c)

  1384. - work around a TurboC compiler bug (bad code for b << 0, see infutil.h)
  1385. (actually that was not a compiler bug, see 0.81 above)
  1386. - gzread no longer reads one extra byte in certain cases
  1387. - In gzio destroy(), don't reference a freed structure
  1388. - avoid many warnings for MSDOS
  1389. - avoid the ERROR symbol which is used by MS Windows

  1392. TurboC large model.
  1393. Changes in 0.7 (14 April 95)
  1394. - Added full inflate support.
  1395. - Simplified the crc32() interface. The pre- and post-conditioning
  1396. (one's complement) is now done inside crc32(). WARNING: this is
  1397. incompatible with previous versions; see zlib.h for the new usage.
  1398. Changes in 0.61 (12 April 95)
  1399. - workaround for a bug in TurboC. example and minigzip now work on MSDOS.

  1406. - don't allocate big arrays in the stack (for MSDOS)
  1407. - fix some MSDOS compilation problems
  1408. Changes in 0.5:
  1409. - do real compression in deflate.c. Z_PARTIAL_FLUSH is supported but
  1410. not yet Z_FULL_FLUSH.
  1411. - support decompression but only in a single step (forced Z_FINISH)
  1412. - added opaque object for zalloc and zfree.
  1413. - added deflateReset and inflateReset
  1414. - added a variable zlib_version for consistency checking.
  1415. - renamed the 'filter' parameter of deflateInit2 as 'strategy'.

  1417. Changes in 0.4:
  1418. - avoid "zip" everywhere, use zlib instead of ziplib.
  1419. - suppress Z_BLOCK_FLUSH, interpret Z_PARTIAL_FLUSH as block flush
  1420. if compression method == 8.
  1421. - added adler32 and crc32
  1422. - renamed deflateOptions as deflateInit2, call one or the other but not both
  1423. - added the method parameter for deflateInit2.
  1424. - added inflateInit2
  1425. - simplied considerably deflateInit and inflateInit by not supporting
  1426. user-provided history buffer. This is supported only in deflateInit2
  1427. and inflateInit2.
  1428. Changes in 0.3:
  1429. - prefix all macro names with Z_
  1430. - use Z_FINISH instead of deflateEnd to finish compression.
