Detailed Description
Update zlib-ng to the latest version from branch 2.2.x. Currently, that's version 2.2.2, but it could change until the release considering that updates on the same branch are expected to be API/ABI stable.
Feedback
Benefit to Fedora
Major version 2.2.x provides new optimizations, rewrites deflate memory allocation and improves the buildsystem and tests.
More details are available in the following pages:
- https://github.com/zlib-ng/zlib-ng/releases/tag/2.2.0
- https://github.com/zlib-ng/zlib-ng/releases/tag/2.2.1
- https://github.com/zlib-ng/zlib-ng/releases/tag/2.2.2
Scope
- Proposal owners: New zlib-ng packages will be built. SONAME will not change.
- Other developers: Check if their packages continue to work as expected and report issues using Bugzilla.
- Release engineering: #Releng issue number
- Policies and guidelines: N/A (not needed for this Change)
- Trademark approval: N/A (not needed for this Change)
- Alignment with the Fedora Strategy:
Upgrade/compatibility impact
Considering that API and ABI are expected to be kept the same, no impacts are expected.
