zlibbers,

As 1.2.4 is (hopefully) close to going out the door, my plans for 1.2.5 (or maybe it will be called 1.3.0) are:

1.  Add rsyncable option to periodically flush as a function of the input data for faster updating of large compressed files with rsync.

2.  Add parallel processor support for compression.

3.  Add optional compressed stream indexing to make gzseek() useful in the reverse direction when reading.

Any other suggestions?

Mark
