Subject:	ANNOUNCE: DJGPP port of zlib 1.2.8 uploaded.
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 general purpose data compression/decompression library
   as used in gzip. All the code is thread safe.


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

   The only DJGPP specific change is that the vsnprintf and snprintf 
functions
   from DJGPP's repository are provided. Apart of this, only the usual 
configu-
   ration files have been added.  They are located in the /djgpp directory.

   The source package is now distributed configured for both DJGPP 2.03 and
   DJGPP 2.04.  In the top srcdir there is a "_build.203" directory and a
   "_build.204" directory.

   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 has been compiled using stock djdev203 (patchlevel 2) and 
consists
   of the two packages that can be downloaded from ftp.delorie.com and 
mirrors
   as (time stamp 2013-05-13):

   The binaries have been produced a second time using the stock version of
   djdev204 beta library.  This package is available at ftp.delorie.com and
   mirrors as (time stamp 2013-05-13):
