There are already active zlib forks (e.g. https://github.com/zlib-ng/zlib-ng), the problem is with having people move to them. It takes a lot of effort to move mindshare from the original version to a fork, there's some historical examples of it happening, but not a ton.

FiniteStateEntropy - Two highly efficient compression codecs optimized for modern CPUs. BSD-2-Clause

What are some alternatives?

When comparing zlib-ng and FiniteStateEntropy you can also consider the following projects:

ZLib - A massively spiffy yet delicately unobtrusive compression library.

zstd - Zstandard - Fast real-time compression algorithm

brotli - Brotli compression format

Minizip-ng - Fork of the popular zip manipulation library found in the zlib distribution.

uzlib - Radically unbloated DEFLATE/zlib/gzip compression/decompression library. Can decompress any gzip/zlib data, and offers simplified compressor which produces gzip-compatible output, while requiring much less resources (and providing less compression ratio of course).

LZ4 - Extremely Fast Compression algorithm

Snappy - A fast compressor/decompressor

KArchive - Qt 5 addon providing access to numerous types of archives

LZHAM - Lossless data compression codec with LZMA-like ratios but 1.5x-8x faster decompression speed, C/C++

libspng - Simple, modern libpng alternative

LZMA - (Unofficial) Git mirror of LZMA SDK releases
