1204 - add advice in zlib.h for best usage of deflateSetDictionary

1237 Changes in 1.0.4 (24 Jul 96)
1238 - In very rare conditions, deflate(s, Z_FINISH) could fail to produce an EOF
1239   bit, so the decompressor could decompress all the correct data but went
1240   on to attempt decompressing extra garbage data. This affected minigzip too.
1241 - zlibVersion and gzerror return const char* (needed for DLL)
1242 - port to RISCOS (no fdopen, no multiple dots, no unlink, no fileno)
1243 - use z_error only for DEBUG (avoid problem with DLLs)
1244 
1245 Changes in 1.0.3 (2 Jul 96)
1246 - use z_streamp instead of z_stream *, which is now a far pointer in MSDOS
1247   small and medium models; this makes the library incompatible with previous
1248   versions for these models. (No effect in large model or on other systems.)
1249 - return OK instead of BUF_ERROR if previous deflate call returned with
1250   avail_out as zero but there is nothing to do
1251 - added memcmp for non STDC compilers
1252 - define NO_DUMMY_DECL for more Mac compilers (.h files merged incorrectly)
1253 - define __32BIT__ if __386__ or i386 is defined (pb. with Watcom and SCO)
1254 - better check for 16-bit mode MSC (avoids problem with Symantec)
1255 
1256 Changes in 1.0.2 (23 May 96)
1257 - added Windows DLL support
1258 - added a function zlibVersion (for the DLL support)

1260 - Bytef is define's instead of typedef'd only for Borland C
1261 - avoid reading uninitialized memory in example.c
1262 - mention in README that the zlib format is now RFC1950
1263 - updated Makefile.dj2
1264 - added algorithm.doc

1272 - added an INDEX file
1273 - new makefiles for DJGPP (Makefile.dj2), 32-bit Borland (Makefile.b32),
1274   Watcom (Makefile.wat), Amiga SAS/C (Makefile.sas)
1275 - speed up adler32 for modern machines without auto-increment
1276 - added -ansi for IRIX in configure
1277 - static_init_done in trees.c is an int

1283 - fix the Watcom fix for 32 bit mode (define FAR as empty)
1284 - removed redefinition of Byte for MKWERKS
1285 - work around an MWKERKS bug (incorrect merge of all .h files)
1286 
1287 Changes in 0.99 (27 Jan 96)
1288 - allow preset dictionary shared between compressor and decompressor
1289 - allow compression level 0 (no compression)

1291   and compression strategy.
1292 - test large buffers and deflateParams in example.c
1293 - add optional "configure" to build zlib as a shared library
1294 - suppress Makefile.qnx, use configure instead
1295 - fixed deflate for 64-bit systems (detected on Cray)

1302 - fixed very unlikely race condition in ct_static_init
1303 - free in reverse order of allocation to help memory manager
1304 - use zlib-1.0/* instead of zlib/* inside the tar.gz
1305 - make zlib warning-free with "gcc -O3 -Wall -Wwrite-strings -Wpointer-arith
1306   -Wconversion -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes"
1307 - allow gzread on concatenated .gz files
1308 - deflateEnd now returns Z_DATA_ERROR if it was premature
1309 - deflate is finally (?) fully deterministic (no matches beyond end of input)
1310 - Document Z_SYNC_FLUSH
1311 - add uninstall in Makefile
1312 - Check for __cpluplus in zlib.h
1313 - Better test in ct_align for partial flush
1314 - avoid harmless warnings for Borland C++
1315 - initialize hash_head in deflate.c
1316 - avoid warning on fdopen (gzio.c) for HP cc -Aa
1317 - include stdlib.h for STDC compilers
1318 - include errno.h for Cray
1319 - ignore error if ranlib doesn't exist

1327 - fix typo in Make_vms.com (f$trnlnm -> f$getsyi)
1328 - in fcalloc, normalize pointer if size > 65520 bytes
1329 - don't use special fcalloc for 32 bit Borland C++
1330 - use STDC instead of __GO32__ to avoid redeclaring exit, calloc, etc...

1337 - put the crc table in FAR data (I dislike more and more the medium model :)
1338 - added get_crc_table
1339 - added a dimension to all arrays (Borland C can't count).
1340 - workaround Borland C bug in declaration of inflate_codes_new & inflate_fast
1341 - guard against multiple inclusion of *.h (for precompiled header on Mac)
1342 - Watcom C pretends to be Microsoft C small model even in 32 bit mode.
1343 - don't use unsized arrays to avoid silly warnings by Visual C++:
1344      warning C4746: 'inflate_mask' : unsized array treated as  '__far'
1345      (what's wrong with far data in far model?).
1346 - define enum out of inflate_blocks_state to allow compilation with C++
1347 
1348 Changes in 0.95 (16 Aug 95)
1349 - fix MSDOS small and medium model (now easier to adapt to any compiler)
1350 - inlined send_bits
1351 - fix the final (:-) bug for deflate with flush (output was correct but
1352   not completely flushed in rare occasions).
1353 - default window size is same for compression and decompression
1354   (it's now sufficient to set MAX_WBITS in zconf.h).
1355 - voidp -> voidpf and voidnp -> voidp (for consistency with other
1356   typedefs and because voidnp was not near in large model).
1357 
1358 Changes in 0.94 (13 Aug 95)
1359 - support MSDOS medium model
1360 - fix deflate with flush (could sometimes generate bad output)

1373 - avoid reserved word 'new' in trees.c
1374

1392 Changes in 0.91 (2 May 95)
1393 - Default MEM_LEVEL is 8 (not 9 for Unix) as documented in zlib.h
1394 - Document the memory requirements in zconf.h
1395 - added "make install"
1396 - fix sync search logic in inflateSync
1397 - deflate(Z_FULL_FLUSH) now works even if output buffer too short
1398 - after inflateSync, don't scare people with just "lo world"
1399 - added support for DJGPP
1400 
1401 Changes in 0.9 (1 May 95)
1402 - don't assume that zalloc clears the allocated memory (the TurboC bug
1403   was Mark's bug after all :)
1404 - let again gzread copy uncompressed data unchanged (was working in 0.71)
1405 - deflate(Z_FULL_FLUSH), inflateReset and inflateSync are now fully implemented
1406 - added a test of inflateSync in example.c
1407 - moved MAX_WBITS to zconf.h because users might want to change that.

1409   pointer (zero offset)
1410 - added Makefiles for Microsoft C, Turbo C, Borland C++
1411 - faster crc32()
1412 
1413 Changes in 0.8 (29 April 95)
1414 - added fast inflate (inffast.c)
1415 - deflate(Z_FINISH) now returns Z_STREAM_END when done. Warning: this
1416   is incompatible with previous versions of zlib which returned Z_OK.

1418   (actually that was not a compiler bug, see 0.81 above)
1419 - gzread no longer reads one extra byte in certain cases
1420 - In gzio destroy(), don't reference a freed structure
1421 - avoid many warnings for MSDOS
1422 - avoid the ERROR symbol which is used by MS Windows
1423 
1424 Changes in 0.71 (14 April 95)

1426   TurboC large model.
1427 
1428 Changes in 0.7 (14 April 95)
1429 - Added full inflate support.
1430 - Simplified the crc32() interface. The pre- and post-conditioning
1431   (one's complement) is now done inside crc32(). WARNING: this is
1432   incompatible with previous versions; see zlib.h for the new usage.
1433 
1434 Changes in 0.61 (12 April 95)
1435 - workaround for a bug in TurboC. example and minigzip now work on MSDOS.

1443 - don't allocate big arrays in the stack (for MSDOS)
1444 - fix some MSDOS compilation problems
1445 
1446 Changes in 0.5:

1448   not yet Z_FULL_FLUSH.
1449 - support decompression but only in a single step (forced Z_FINISH)
1450 - added opaque object for zalloc and zfree.
1451 - added deflateReset and inflateReset
1452 - added a variable zlib_version for consistency checking.
1453 - renamed the 'filter' parameter of deflateInit2 as 'strategy'.
1454   Added Z_FILTERED and Z_HUFFMAN_ONLY constants.
1455 
1456 Changes in 0.4:
1457 - avoid "zip" everywhere, use zlib instead of ziplib.
1458 - suppress Z_BLOCK_FLUSH, interpret Z_PARTIAL_FLUSH as block flush
1459   if compression method == 8.
1460 - added adler32 and crc32
1461 - renamed deflateOptions as deflateInit2, call one or the other but not both
1462 - added the method parameter for deflateInit2.
1463 - added inflateInit2
1464 - simplied considerably deflateInit and inflateInit by not supporting
1465   user-provided history buffer. This is supported only in deflateInit2
1466   and inflateInit2.
1467 
1468 Changes in 0.3:
1469 - prefix all macro names with Z_
1470 - use Z_FINISH instead of deflateEnd to finish compression.
1471 - added Z_HUFFMAN_ONLY
