JAMES'  Unofficial Unsupported by RedHat, Redhat Fedora Core, and
Redhat Fedora Legacy Groups!
~    Any support for my packages, will only come from me!  There is no
bugzilla for the packages, groups may not know what version you are
talking about.  The biggest support can come from ME or the source
creators of the program.  Although, any patches kept over from the
Fedora Core packages are not supported by the vendor of the software.
~    My packages are usually re-packaged new versions of many programs.


ZLib 1.2.3
- ------------
This version fixes two security vulnerabilities and several bugs.  See
the sniped web-page notice below.
This version also, seems to fix a problem I've been having with
clamav-milter crashing on me.  But, I've only been testing with this
version for the weekend.
