(this feature was not implemented anyway in 1.0.4)

Changes in 1.0.4 (24 Jul 96)
621
- In very rare conditions, deflate(s, Z_FINISH) could fail to produce an EOF
622
bit, so the decompressor could decompress all the correct data but went
623
on to attempt decompressing extra garbage data. This affected minigzip too.

628
Changes in 1.0.3 (2 Jul 96)
629
- use z_streamp instead of z_stream *, which is now a far pointer in MSDOS
630
small and medium models; this makes the library incompatible with previous
631
versions for these models. (No effect in large model or on other systems.)
632
- return OK instead of BUF_ERROR if previous deflate call returned with
633
avail_out as zero but there is nothing to do

641

725
- Watcom C pretends to be Microsoft C small model even in 32 bit mode.
726
- don't use unsized arrays to avoid silly warnings by Visual C++:
727
warning C4746: 'inflate_mask' : unsized array treated as '__far'
728
(what's wrong with far data in far model?).

735
not completely flushed in rare occasions).
736

737
(it's now sufficient to set MAX_WBITS in zconf.h).
738
- voidp -> voidpf and voidnp -> voidp (for consistency with other
739
typedefs and because voidnp was not near in large model).
741

- added "make install"
779
- fix sync search logic in inflateSync
780
- deflate(Z_FULL_FLUSH) now works even if output buffer too short
781
- after inflateSync, don't scare people with just "lo world"
782
- added support for DJGPP
784
Changes in 0.9 (1 May 95)
785
- don't assume that zalloc clears the allocated memory (the TurboC bug
786
was Mark's bug after all :)
787
- let again gzread copy uncompressed data unchanged (was working in 0.71)
788
- deflate(Z_FULL_FLUSH), inflateReset and inflateSync are now fully implemented
789
- added a test of inflateSync in example.c
790
- moved MAX_WBITS to zconf.h because users might want to change that.
791
- document explicitly that zalloc(64K) on MSDOS must return a normalized
792
pointer (zero offset)
793
- added Makefiles for Microsoft C, Turbo C, Borland C++
796
Changes in 0.8 (29 April 95)
797
- added fast inflate (inffast.c)
798
- deflate(Z_FINISH) now returns Z_STREAM_END when done. Warning: this
799
is incompatible with previous versions of zlib which returned Z_OK.
800
- work around a TurboC compiler bug (bad code for b << 0, see infutil.h)
801
(actually that was not a compiler bug, see 0.81 above)
802
- gzread no longer reads one extra byte in certain cases
803
- In gzio destroy(), don't reference a freed structure
804
- avoid many warnings for MSDOS
805
- avoid the ERROR symbol which is used by MS Windows
807
Changes in 0.71 (14 April 95)
808
- Fixed more MSDOS compilation problems :( There is still a bug with
811
Changes in 0.7 (14 April 95)
812
- Added full inflate support.
813
- Simplified the crc32() interface. The pre- and post-conditioning
814
(one's complement) is now done inside crc32(). WARNING: this is
815
incompatible with previous versions; see zlib.h for the new usage.
817
Changes in 0.61 (12 April 95)
818
- workaround for a bug in TurboC. example and minigzip now work on MSDOS.
820
Changes in 0.6 (11 April 95)
822
- added gzdopen to reopen a file descriptor as gzFile
823
- added transparent reading of non-gziped files in gzread.
824
- fixed bug in gzread (don't read crc as data)
825
- fixed bug in destroy (gzio.c) (don't return Z_STREAM_END for gzclose).
826
- don't allocate big arrays in the stack (for MSDOS)
827
- fix some MSDOS compilation problems
830
- do real compression in deflate.c. Z_PARTIAL_FLUSH is supported but
831
not yet Z_FULL_FLUSH.
832
- support decompression but only in a single step (forced Z_FINISH)
833
- added opaque object for zalloc and zfree.
834
- added deflateReset and inflateReset
835
- added a variable zlib_version for consistency checking.
836
- renamed the 'filter' parameter of deflateInit2 as 'strategy'.
837
Added Z_FILTERED and Z_HUFFMAN_ONLY constants.
840
- avoid "zip" everywhere, use zlib instead of ziplib.
841
- suppress Z_BLOCK_FLUSH, interpret Z_PARTIAL_FLUSH as block flush
842
if compression method == 8.
843
- added adler32 and crc32
844
- renamed deflateOptions as deflateInit2, call one or the other but not both
845
- added the method parameter for deflateInit2.
847
- simplied considerably deflateInit and inflateInit by not supporting
848
user-provided history buffer. This is supported only in deflateInit2
852
- prefix all macro names with Z_
853
- use Z_FINISH instead of deflateEnd to finish compression.
854
- added Z_HUFFMAN_ONLY
added
removed
