Changes in 1.2.0 (9 March 2003)

    - Does not allocate 32K window unless and until needed
    - Automatically detects and decompresses gzip streams

    - Added inflateBack functions using a callback interface--even faster
      than inflate, useful for file utilities (gzip, zip)
    - Added inflateCopy() function to record state for random access on
      externally generated deflate streams (e.g. in gzip files)
    - More readable code (I hope)
- New and improved crc32()
    - About 50% faster, thanks to suggestions from Rodney Brown
- Add deflateBound() and compressBound() functions
- Fix memory leak in deflateInit2()
- Permit setting dictionary for raw deflate (for parallel deflate)
- Fix const declaration for gzwrite()
- Check for some malloc() failures in gzio.c
- Fix bug in gzopen() on single-byte file 0x1f
