[Zlib-devel] zlib 1.2.7 candidate

[Mark Adler]

zlibbers,

I now have a very strong candidate for release as zlib 1.2.7.  You can download it from:

    https://github.com/madler/zlib/tree/develop

where you click on the ZIP button.  Please give it a whirl.

Thanks to your pointers, I now have testing set up on the machines listed below, as well as my Mac laptop.  They all compile and run fine, though OpenBSD whines a lot about not using it's own non-portable string functions (I can't figure out how to turn off those warnings from ld).

I have not tested it out on Windows.  (Though I have a virtual system that I could, in theory, test it on, I have not taken the time to figure out how to navigate the Visual something something I downloaded.)
