The changes made in version 1.1.2 are documented in the file ChangeLog.
The main changes since 1.1.1 are:
- fix macros _tr_tally_* in deflate.h for debug mode (Glenn Randers-Pehrson)
- remove block truncation heuristic which had very marginal effect for zlib
(smaller lit_bufsize than in gzip 1.2.4) and degraded a little the
compression ratio on some files. This also allows inlining _tr_tally for
matches in deflate_slow.
- 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)
- use default value of 4K for Z_BUFSIZE for 16-bit MSDOS (Tim Wegner + Glenn)
- 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 "make install prefix=..." even after configure (Glenn Randers-Pehrson)
- allow "configure --prefix $HOME" (Tim Mooney)

Acknowledgments:
The deflate format used by zlib was defined by Phil Katz. The deflate
and zlib specifications were written by Peter Deutsch. Thanks to all the
and zlib specifications were written by L. Peter Deutsch. Thanks to all the
people who reported problems and suggested various improvements in zlib;
they are too numerous to cite here.
