zlib 1.0.9 is a general purpose data compression library. All the code

The changes made in version 1.0.9 are documented in the file ChangeLog.
The main changes since 1.0.8 are:
- added gzputs and gzgets functions
- do not clear eof flag in gzseek (Mark Diekhans)
- fix gzseek for files in transparent mode (Mark Diekhans)
- do not assume that vsprintf returns the number of bytes written (Jens Krinke)
- replace EXPORT with ZEXPORT to avoid conflict with other programs
- added compress2 in zconf.h, zlib.def, zlib.dnt
- new asm code from Gilles Vollant in contrib/asm386
- simplify the inflate code (Mark):
. Replace ZALLOC's in huft_build() with single ZALLOC in inflate_blocks_new()
. ZALLOC the length list in inflate_trees_fixed() instead of using stack
. ZALLOC the value area for huft_build() instead of using stack
. Simplify Z_FINISH check in inflate()
- fixed offsets in contrib/asm386/gvmat32.asm (Gilles Vollant)
- fix gzgetc and gzputc for big endian systems (Markus Oberhumer)
- added compress2() to allow setting the compression level
- include sys/types.h to get off_t on some systems (Marc Lehmann & QingLong)
- use constant arrays for the static trees in trees.c instead of computing
them at run time (thanks to Ken Raeburn for this suggestion). To create
trees.h, compile with GEN_TREES_H and run "make test".
- check return code of example in "make test" and display result
- pass minigzip command line options to file_compress
Unsupported third party contributions are provided in directory "contrib".
