Hi,

A new zlibc release is available. It fixes a couple of security issues when invoked with setuid programs.

Moreover, after years of inactivity, I made much needed changes to make zlibc compile and work with current OS versions (Solaris and Linux).

Zlibc allows executables to uncompress their datafiles on the fly. No kernel patch, no recompilation of the executables nor the libraries is needed.

Zlibc (sources, .debs and RPMs) can currently be found at the following location:

http://zlibc.linux.lu/

There is an zlibc mailing list at zlibc@zlibc.linux.lu. You may subscribe to it by sending a message with 'subscribe' in its body or subject to zlibc-request@zlibc.linux.lu, or by visiting the following URL:

The sha1sums are:
