[Zlib-devel] zlib 1.2.3.6 available for testing

[Mark Adler]

zlibbers,

You can find the latest beta here:

    http://zlib.net/current/beta/zlib-1.2.3.6.tar.gz

The changes are listed in ChangeLog.  Most notably, the new gz* functions no longer depends on void * arithmetic, and the WINCE error message code is properly integrated.

Mark Brown determined that the problem he saw with libxml was due to it depending on zlib internals not specified in the zlib interface (zlib.h).  E.g. assumptions about the internal structure of gzFile and the internal operations of the gz* functions, which of course have changed in the new gz* implementation.  This version of zlib, or more accurately, libxml, still has these problems.
