My reason for asking is that I'm using MacOS X, which ships from Apple with zlib 1.1.3. Building version 1.2.2 is trivial, but is it worth it?
If you are looking for a reason to upgrade then you may want to consider security fixes. I'm not sure, maybe Apple's version was already patched for the vulnerabilities found over the past couple of years, but it seems strange it would be 1.1.3.
My mistake, MacOS X ships with zlib 1.1.4, which isn't supposed to have the security problems. But still, it isn't 1.2.
