When filing version upgrade requests, could you please elaborate why you want them? e.g. are there specific features and/or bug fixes you are after? Rather than just an updated string in --version.

Also I guess you do not mean the on-the-fly auto-uncompressing C library, but you mean zlib; will update meta data.

Guessing you are after:

- Add crc32_z() and adler32_z() functions with size_t lengths

Which was added in 1.2.9; which had regressions fixed eventually in 1.2.11.
