+<H4> Which Version To Download </H4>
+
+<P>
+ Do not use 0.10.x anymore! 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. Later zzip file decoders have extra checks and
+ helper routines for that. It's just that the later zziplib have not
+ been given as many crossplatform build tets as the 0.10.x generation.
+</P>
+<P>
+ Use a 0.12.x (proto-stable) or a 0.13.x (developer) variant of
+ zziplib, especially if you intend to make heavy usage of the zip
+ decoders in specialized environments - I will not add any fixes to
+ the 0.10.x series anymore (it's deep frozen) but if you hit a
+ problem with 0.13.x I can help you quickly with a patch and official
+ bugfix release. 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>.
