Zlib-rs 0.6.6 was just released by the Trifecta Tech Foundation. Just weeks after the prior release with a fix for Intel Raptor Lake and bringing new SIMD optimizations, zlib-rs 0.6.6 is about delivering updated Zlib API compatibility.

Zlib-rs 0.6.6 provides support for the upstream Zlib 1.3.2 API. Zlib-rs now exposes the deflateUsed and additional symbols with the _z suffix that use usize for lengths.

More details on this minor update for this Rust-based Zlib implementation focused on memory safety can be found via GitHub.
