The main changes since 1.1.2 are:
- added contrib/minzip, mini zip and unzip based on zlib (Gilles Vollant)
See http://www.winimage.com/zLibDll/unzip.html
- preinitialize the inflate tables for fixed codes, to make the code
completely thread safe (Mark)
- some simplifications and slight speed-up to the inflate code (Mark)
- fix gzeof on non-compressed files (Allan Schrum)
- add -std1 option in configure for OSF1 to fix gzprintf (Martin Mokrejs)

- added os2/Makefile.def and os2/zlib.def (Andrew Zabolotny)
- add shared lib support for UNIX_SV4.2MP (MATSUURA Takanori)
- do not wrap extern "C" around system includes (Tom Lane)
- added amiga/Makefile.pup for Amiga powerUP SAS/C PPC (Andreas Kleinert)

- allow "configure --prefix $HOME" (Tim Mooney)
- fix "an inflate input buffer bug that shows up on rare but persistent
occasions" (Mark)
- fix gzread and gztell for concatenated .gz files (Didier Le Botlan)
- fix gzseek(..., SEEK_SET) in write mode
- fix crc check after a gzeek (Frank Faubert)
- fix miniunzip when the last entry in a zip file is itself a zip file
(J Lillge)
- add contrib/asm586 and contrib/asm686 (Brian Raiter)
See http://www.muppetlabs.com/~breadbox/software/assembly.html
- add support for Delphi 3 in contrib/delphi (Bob Dellaca)
- add support for C++Builder 3 and Delphi 3 in contrib/delphi2 (Davide Moretti)
- do not exit prematurely in untgz if 0 at start of block (Magnus Holmgren)

- zlib doesn't work on HP-UX 9.05 with some versions of /bin/cc. It works
with other compilers. Use "make test" to check your compiler.
- For shared memory multiprocessors, the decompression code assumes that
writes to pointers are atomic. Also the functions zalloc and zfree passed
to deflateInit must be multi-threaded in this case.
- gzdopen is not supported on RISCOS, BEOS and by some Mac compilers.
- For Turbo C the small model is supported only with reduced performance to
avoid any far allocation; it was tested with -DMAX_WBITS=11 -DMAX_MEM_LEVEL=3
