  • ZLib

    A massively spiffy yet delicately unobtrusive compression library.

    • The non-forked zlib hasn't been accepting optimisations: https://github.com/madler/zlib/issues/346

    Hopefully changes will be merged from my obscure private fork into four other obscure private forks (zlib-chromium (https://crbug.com/1354990), zlib-ng, zlib-cloudflare, and the one I personally care about, which doesn't take pull requests, zlib-apple), and possibly incorporated into libdeflate. That's the point of the blog post - to help maintainers understand the changes.

  • zlib

    • Yeah, I haven't looked at the exact changes, but I believe this is the source:

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
