ChangeLog file for zlib Changes in 0.8 (29 April 95) - added fast inflate (inffast.c) - deflate(Z_FINISH) now returns Z_STREAM_END when done. Warning: this is incompatible with previous versions of zlib which returned Z_OK. - work around a TurboC compiler bug (bad code for b << 0, see infutil.h) - 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 Changes in 0.71 (14 April 95) - Fixed more MSDOS compilation problems :( There is still a bug with TurboC large model. Changes in 0.7 (14 April 95) - Added full inflate support. - Simplified the crc32() interface. The pre- and post-conditioning (one's complement) is now done inside crc32(). WARNING: this is incompatible with previous versions; see zlib.h for the new usage. Changes in 0.61 (12 April 95) - workaround for a bug in TurboC. example and minigzip now work on MSDOS. Changes in 0.6 (11 April 95) - added minigzip.c - added gzdopen to reopen a file descriptor as gzFile - added transparent reading of non-gziped files in gzread. - fixed bug in gzread (don't read crc as data) - fixed bug in destroy (gzio.c) (don't return Z_STREAM_END for gzclose). - don't allocate big arrays in the stack (for MSDOS) - fix some MSDOS compilation problems Changes in 0.5: - do real compression in deflate.c. Z_PARTIAL_FLUSH is supported but not yet Z_FULL_FLUSH. - support decompression but only in a single step (forced Z_FINISH) - added opaque object for zalloc and zfree. - added deflateReset and inflateReset - added a variable zlib_version for consistency checking. - renamed the 'filter' parameter of deflateInit2 as 'strategy'. Added Z_FILTERED and Z_HUFFMAN_ONLY constants. Changes in 0.4: - avoid "zip" everywhere, use zlib instead of ziplib. - suppress Z_BLOCK_FLUSH, interpret Z_PARTIAL_FLUSH as block flush if compression method == 8. - added adler32 and crc32 - renamed deflateOptions as deflateInit2, call one or the other but not both - added the method parameter for deflateInit2. - added inflateInit2 - simplied considerably deflateInit and inflateInit by not supporting user-provided history buffer. This is supported only in deflateInit2 and inflateInit2. Changes in 0.3: - prefix all macro names with Z_ - use Z_FINISH instead of deflateEnd to finish compression. - added Z_HUFFMAN_ONLY - added gzerror()
