1192- remove block truncation heuristic which had very marginal effect for zlib
1193  (smaller lit_bufsize than in gzip 1.2.4) and degraded a little the
1194  compression ratio on some files. This also allows inlining _tr_tally for
1195  matches in deflate_slow

1237- include sys/types.h to get off_t on some systems (Marc Lehmann & QingLong)
1238- use constant arrays for the static trees in trees.c instead of computing
1239  them at run time (thanks to Ken Raeburn for this suggestion). To create

1355Changes in 1.0.4 (24 Jul 96)
1356- In very rare conditions, deflate(s, Z_FINISH) could fail to produce an EOF
1357  bit, so the decompressor could decompress all the correct data but went
1358  on to attempt decompressing extra garbage data. This affected minigzip too

1362
1363Changes in 1.0.3 (2 Jul 96)
1364- use z_streamp instead of z_stream *, which is now a far pointer in MSDOS
1365  small and medium models; this makes the library incompatible with previous

1429- add uninstall in Makefile
1430- Check for __cpluplus in zlib.h

1460- Watcom C pretends to be Microsoft C small model even in 32 bit mode
1461- don't use unsized arrays to avoid silly warnings by Visual C++:
1462     warning C4746: 'inflate_mask' : unsized array treated as  '__far'
1463     (what's wrong with far data in far model?)
1464- define enum out of inflate_blocks_state to allow compilation with C++
1465

1469- fix the final (:-) bug for deflate with flush (output was correct but
1470  not completely flushed in rare occasions)
1471- default window size is same for compression and decompression
1472  (it's now sufficient to set MAX_WBITS in zconf.h)
1473- voidp -> voidpf and voidnp -> voidp (for consistency with other
1474  typedefs and because voidnp was not near in large model)
1475

1521  was Mark's bug after all :)
1522- let again gzread copy uncompressed data unchanged (was working in 0.71)
1523- deflate(Z_FULL_FLUSH), inflateReset and inflateSync are now fully implemented

1580- added the method parameter for deflateInit2
