Release v0.6.0

breaking changes

libz-rs-sys

• functions that used extern "C-unwind" before now use extern "C". This helps when building zlib-rs as a C library, because unwinding from rust into C is UB. Now, if a panic does occur in the rust code, it will abort the program at the FFI boundary rather than unwind into C code. If you do really need unwinding in rust code, we suggest using flate2 or using zlib-rs directly.

zlib-rs

• the internals are no longer publicly exposed. If you were using some unstable symbol before, and it is no longer exported, but you do believe it would be reasonable for us to provide it, let us know.
• the uncompress_slice function was renamed to decompress_slice

other highlights

• the gz* functions are now included in the main crate. Thanks again to @​brian-pane for implementing these.
• overall we now provide all public symbols that zlib-ng provides (e.g. inflateBack was added). The gzprintf and gzvprintf functions need nightly though.
• improved avx512 support.
