Changes in 1.0.4 (24 Jul 96)
- In very rare conditions, deflate(s, Z_FINISH) could fail to produce an EOF
  bit, so the decompressor could decompress all the correct data but went
  on to attempt decompressing extra garbage data. This affected minigzip too.
- zlibVersion and gzerror return const char* (needed for DLL)
- port to RISCOS (no fdopen, no multiple dots, no unlink, no fileno)
- use z_error only for DEBUG (avoid problem with DLLs)

Changes in 1.0.3 (2 Jul 96)
- use z_streamp instead of z_stream *, which is now a far pointer in MSDOS
  small and medium models; this makes the library incompatible with previous
  versions for these models. (No effect in large model or on other systems.)
- 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)
- better check for 16-bit mode MSC (avoids problem with Symantec)

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

Changes in 0.95 (16 Aug 95)
- fix MSDOS small and medium model (now easier to adapt to any compiler)
- inlined send_bits
- fix the final (:-) bug for deflate with flush (output was correct but
  not completely flushed in rare occasions).
- default window size is same for compression and decompression
  (it's now sufficient to set MAX_WBITS in zconf.h).
- voidp -> voidpf and voidnp -> voidp (for consistency with other
  typedefs and because voidnp was not near in large model).

- 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.

- don't allocate big arrays in the stack (for MSDOS)
- fix some MSDOS compilation problems

Changes in 0.5:

  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.

  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

  user-provided history buffer. This is supported only in deflateInit2
  and inflateInit2.

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