[Zlib-devel] pigz 1.6 available for testing

[Mark Adler]

Greg,

I fixed pigz so that even when using threads, the last block no  
longer ends with empty deflate blocks.  (There are still intermediate  
empty deflate blocks when using threads.)

That's just the indication of the compression level used, to aid in  
guessing at the value of attempting a re-compression.  The first one  
indicates a fast compression level was used, whereas the second  
indicates that the default compression level was used.
