It is listed as stable since it is the + only release of zziplib tested to work on a few dozen platforms. + However there were some problematic zip files out there that can + trigger segfaults.

The later versions are regulary checked crossplatform + atleast for <b>Linux, Solaris, FreeBSD, Darwin/MacOSX, Win32/NT</b> + including i386, amd64, sparc, sparc64, powerpc where available. +</P> +<P> + Note that all generations 0.10.x through 0.13.x are strictly + <b>backward compatible</b>. There is a core API (file and dir + handling) being binary compatible, which is also true for most + of the helper routines (data getters). Only some rarely used + entries are made source level compatible, and so far no one had + ever any problem with binary compatibility of the zziplib DLLs. +</P> +<P> + The MSVC users are strongly advised to use a a later version as + well since I have tested the 0.12.x/0.13.x myself and making + some msc binary dll releases directly - prior versions were + thirdparty contributions which were working smoothly since I have + been preparing zziplib for win32 using the gcc/mingw compile suite. + Please check also the <a href="developer.html">developer pages</a>. +</P> +</section></section> |
