I have a bit of work to do before I can release the next version. Basically
I've abstracted out the zlib-specific parts of the code into a series of
plugin modules. This has allowed me to add support for other compression
formats like zip, bzip2 and lzop. At the moment I have all of this in one
big monolithic module, so I need to split out the non-zlib stuff, namely
bzip2 & lzop, into separate modules before I can post something.
