Subject:	ANNOUNCE: Release 2 of the DJGPP port of zlib 1.2.8 uploaded (DJGPP
	2.05 only).
Reply-To:	djgpp AT delorie DOT com

This is a port of zlib 1.2.8 to MSDOS/DJGPP.

   zlib 1.2.8 is a free, general purpose data compression/decompression library
   as used in gzip.  All the code is thread safe.


   DJGPP specific changes.
   =======================

   There are no DJGPP specific changes.  Only the usual configuration files have
   been added.  They are located in the /djgpp directory.

   This is the first port that has been compiled using djdev205.  Starting with
   this port version I will no longer support neither djdev204 nor djdev203.

   The port has been tested by using it.  I have used them only on WinXP.
   It has worked flawlessly.  I do not konw if this will ever be the case on
   FreeDOS.  I have never used/tested them in that environment.

   The port has been configured and compiled on WinXP SP3.  There is no
   guarantee that this may be possible with any other DOS-like OS.  Due
   to the massive use of long file names it will not be possible to configure
   and compile without LFN support.  The port has been compiled using gcc510
   and bnu2251br.

   To be able to build this port you may need to have LFN support.

   Please read the docs to become familiar with this product.


   Here is an extract of the home page showing the user visible changes from
   the last port (zlib 1.2.7) to this one:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Version 1.2.8 fixes a very rare bug in decompression.  All users are
encouraged to upgrade immediately.  Version 1.2.8 also has these
improvements:

     Add new inflateGetDictionary() function

     Fix bug where gzopen() immediately followed by gzclose()
     would write an empty file instead of an empty gzip stream.

     Fix bug in gzclose() when gzwrite() runs out of memory

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------




   The port consists of the usual two packages produced using djdev205
   that can be downloaded from ftp.delorie.com and mirrors as (time stamp 2015-08-08):
