+ ChangeLog file for zlib
+
+Changes in 1.1.2 (19 March 98)
+- added contrib/minzip, mini zip and unzip based on zlib (Gilles Vollant)
+ See http://www.winimage.com/zLibDll/unzip.html
+- preinitialize the inflate tables for fixed codes, to make the code
+ completely thread safe (Mark)
+- some simplifications and slight speed-up to the inflate code (Mark)
+- fix gzeof on non-compressed files (Allan Schrum)
+- add -std1 option in configure for OSF1 to fix gzprintf (Martin Mokrejs)
+- use default value of 4K for Z_BUFSIZE for 16-bit MSDOS (Tim Wegner + Glenn)
+- added os2/Makefile.def and os2/zlib.def (Andrew Zabolotny)
+- add shared lib support for UNIX_SV4.2MP (MATSUURA Takanori)
+- do not wrap extern "C" around system includes (Tom Lane)
+- mention zlib binding for TCL in README (Andreas Kupries)
+- added amiga/Makefile.pup for Amiga powerUP SAS/C PPC (Andreas Kleinert)

+
+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)

+- 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)
+

+- Update web address in README
+
+Changes in 1.0.4 (24 Jul 96)
+- In very rare conditions, deflate(s, Z_FINISH) could fail to produce an EOF

+- 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)

+- faster crc32()
+
+Changes in 0.8 (29 April 95)

+ (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
