- Update web address in README
1112
Changes in 1.0.4 (24 Jul 96)
1113
- In very rare conditions, deflate(s, Z_FINISH) could fail to produce an EOF
1114
bit, so the decompressor could decompress all the correct data but went
1115
on to attempt decompressing extra garbage data. This affected minigzip too.
1116
- zlibVersion and gzerror return const char* (needed for DLL)
1117
- port to RISCOS (no fdopen, no multiple dots, no unlink, no fileno)
1118
- use z_error only for DEBUG (avoid problem with DLLs)
1120
Changes in 1.0.3 (2 Jul 96)
1121
- use z_streamp instead of z_stream *, which is now a far pointer in MSDOS
1122
small and medium models; this makes the library incompatible with previous
1123
versions for these models. (No effect in large model or on other systems.)
1124
- return OK instead of BUF_ERROR if previous deflate call returned with
1125
avail_out as zero but there is nothing to do
1126
- added memcmp for non STDC compilers
1127
- define NO_DUMMY_DECL for more Mac compilers (.h files merged incorrectly)
1128
- define __32BIT__ if __386__ or i386 is defined (pb. with Watcom and SCO)
1129
- better check for 16-bit mode MSC (avoids problem with Symantec)
1131
Changes in 1.0.2 (23 May 96)
1132
- added Windows DLL support
1133
- added a function zlibVersion (for the DLL support)
1134
- fixed declarations using Bytef in infutil.c (pb with MSDOS medium model)
1135
- Bytef is define's instead of typedef'd only for Borland C
1136
- avoid reading uninitialized memory in example.c
1137
- mention in README that the zlib format is now RFC1950
1138
- updated Makefile.dj2
1139
- added algorithm.doc
1141
Changes in 1.0.1 (20 May 96) [1.0 skipped to avoid confusion]
1142
- fix array overlay in deflate.c which sometimes caused bad compressed data
1143
- fix inflate bug with empty stored block
1144
- fix MSDOS medium model which was broken in 0.99
1145
- fix deflateParams() which could generated bad compressed data.
1146
- Bytef is define'd instead of typedef'ed (work around Borland bug)
1147
- added an INDEX file
1148
- new makefiles for DJGPP (Makefile.dj2), 32-bit Borland (Makefile.b32),
1149
Watcom (Makefile.wat), Amiga SAS/C (Makefile.sas)
1150
- speed up adler32 for modern machines without auto-increment
1151
- added -ansi for IRIX in configure
1152
- static_init_done in trees.c is an int
1153
- define unlink as delete for VMS
1154
- fix configure for QNX
1155
- add configure branch for SCO and HPUX
1156

1157
- no fdopen for BeOS
1158
- fix the Watcom fix for 32 bit mode (define FAR as empty)
1159
- removed redefinition of Byte for MKWERKS
1160
- work around an MWKERKS bug (incorrect merge of all .h files)
1162

1163
- allow preset dictionary shared between compressor and decompressor
1164
- allow compression level 0 (no compression)
1165
- add deflateParams in zlib.h: allow dynamic change of compression level
1166
and compression strategy.
1167
- test large buffers and deflateParams in example.c
1168
- add optional "configure" to build zlib as a shared library

1181
-Wconversion -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes"
1182
- allow gzread on concatenated .gz files
1183
- deflateEnd now returns Z_DATA_ERROR if it was premature
1184
- deflate is finally (?) fully deterministic (no matches beyond end of input)
1185
- Document Z_SYNC_FLUSH
1186
- add uninstall in Makefile
1187
- Check for __cpluplus in zlib.h

1204
- don't use special fcalloc for 32 bit Borland C++
1205
- use STDC instead of __GO32__ to avoid redeclaring exit, calloc, etc...
1206

1207

1215
- workaround Borland C bug in declaration of inflate_codes_new & inflate_fast

1217

1218
- don't use unsized arrays to avoid silly warnings by Visual C++:
1219
warning C4746: 'inflate_mask' : unsized array treated as '__far'
1220
(what's wrong with far data in far model?).
1221
- define enum out of inflate_blocks_state to allow compilation with C++
1223
Changes in 0.95 (16 Aug 95)
1224

1226
- fix the final (:-) bug for deflate with flush (output was correct but
1227
not completely flushed in rare occasions).
1228
- default window size is same for compression and decompression
1229
(it's now sufficient to set MAX_WBITS in zconf.h).
1230
- voidp -> voidpf and voidnp -> voidp (for consistency with other
1231
typedefs and because voidnp was not near in large model).
1233
Changes in 0.94 (13 Aug 95)
1234

1250

1274
- added support for DJGPP
1276
Changes in 0.9 (1 May 95)
1277
- don't assume that zalloc clears the allocated memory (the TurboC bug
1278
was Mark's bug after all :)
1279
- let again gzread copy uncompressed data unchanged (was working in 0.71)
1280
- deflate(Z_FULL_FLUSH), inflateReset and inflateSync are now fully implemented
1281
- added a test of inflateSync in example.c
1282

1283

Changes in 0.8 (29 April 95)
1289
- added fast inflate (inffast.c)

1293
(actually that was not a compiler bug, see 0.81 above)
1294
- gzread no longer reads one extra byte in certain cases
1295
- In gzio destroy(), don't reference a freed structure
1296

1303
Changes in 0.7 (14 April 95)
1304
- Added full inflate support.
1305
- Simplified the crc32() interface. The pre- and post-conditioning
1306
(one's complement) is now done inside crc32(). WARNING: this is
1307
incompatible with previous versions; see zlib.h for the new usage.
1309
Changes in 0.61 (12 April 95)
1310
- workaround for a bug in TurboC. example and minigzip now work on MSDOS.

1318
- don't allocate big arrays in the stack (for MSDOS)
1319
- fix some MSDOS compilation problems
1322
- do real compression in deflate.c. Z_PARTIAL_FLUSH is supported but

not yet Z_FULL_FLUSH.
1324
- support decompression but only in a single step (forced Z_FINISH)
1325
- added opaque object for zalloc and zfree.
1326
- added deflateReset and inflateReset
1327

1329
Added Z_FILTERED and Z_HUFFMAN_ONLY constants.
1332

1333

1334
if compression method == 8.
1335
- added adler32 and crc32
1336
- renamed deflateOptions as deflateInit2, call one or the other but not both
1337
- added the method parameter for deflateInit2.
1338
- added inflateInit2
1339
- simplied considerably deflateInit and inflateInit by not supporting
1340
user-provided history buffer. This is supported only in deflateInit2
1344

1345
- use Z_FINISH instead of deflateEnd to finish compression.
1346
- added Z_HUFFMAN_ONLY
