 The main changes since 0.71 are:
-- add fast inflate (inffast.c)
-- In gzio destroy(), don't reference a freed structure

-On MSDOS, this version works in large and small model with MSC; in
-small model only with TurboC (bug being investigated). For both
-compilers, small model compression works only for small values of
-MEM_LEVEL and WBITS (see zutil.h), and requires -DUSE_CALLOC.
+- added fast inflate (inffast.c)
+- deflate(Z_FINISH) now returns Z_STREAM_END when done. Warning: this
+  is incompatible with previous versions of zlib which returned Z_OK.
+- work around a nasty TurboC compiler bug

+On MSDOS, this version works in both large and small model. However
+small model compression works only for small values of MEM_LEVEL and

+This version of zlib does not yet support small or medium model with
+far allocation of big objects.
