12Description:
13"A massively spiffy yet delicately unobtrusive compression library."
14
15zlib is a free, general-purpose, legally unencumbered lossless data-compression
16library. zlib implements the "deflate" compression algorithm described by RFC
171951, which combines the LZ77 (Lempel-Ziv) algorithm with Huffman coding. zlib
18also implements the zlib (RFC 1950) and gzip (RFC 1952) wrapper formats.

20Local Modifications:
21 - Only source code from the zlib distribution used to build the zlib and
22   minizip libraries are present. Many other files have been omitted. Only *.c
23   and *.h files from the upstream root directory and contrib/minizip were
24   imported.
25 - The contents of the google directory are original Chromium-specific
26   additions.
27 - Added chromeconf.h
28 - Plus the changes in 'patches' folder.
29 - Code in contrib/ other than contrib/minizip was added to match zlib's
30   contributor layout.
31 - In sync with 1.2.13 official release
32 - ZIP reader modified to allow for progress callbacks during extraction.
33 - ZIP reader modified to add detection of AES encrypted content.
