  10. Description:
  11. "A massively spiffy yet delicately unobtrusive compression library."
  12. zlib is a free, general-purpose, legally unencumbered lossless data-compression
  13. library. zlib implements the "deflate" compression algorithm described by RFC
  14. 1951, which combines the LZ77 (Lempel-Ziv) algorithm with Huffman coding. zlib
  15. also implements the zlib (RFC 1950) and gzip (RFC 1952) wrapper formats.
  16. Local Modifications:
  17. - Only source code from the zlib distribution used to build the zlib and
  18. minizip libraries are present. Many other files have been omitted. Only *.c
  19. and *.h files from the upstream root directory and contrib/minizip were
  20. imported.
  21. - The contents of the google directory are original Chromium-specific
  22. additions.
  23. - Added chromeconf.h
  24. - Plus the changes in 'patches' folder.
  25. - Code in contrib/ other than contrib/minizip was added to match zlib's
  26. contributor layout.
  27. - In sync with 1.2.12 release plus a few fixes from 'develop' branch.
  28. - ZIP reader modified to allow for progress callbacks during extraction.
  29. - ZIP reader modified to add detection of AES encrypted content.
