zsync 0.0.6 is out

Nothing much to say about this release. I am in the process of cleaning up the huge function in zfetch.c that provides the compressed file support. This version breaks out the gzip navigation code into its own library, so this is a bit more reusable and less is embedded into the client implementation. I'm not putting this into libzsync though, as I can see plenty of uses for that where no zlib is needed.

The good news is that the changes from 0.0.5 seem stable, and I hope within a couple of releases to have improved the download efficiency again. The figures in the technical paper are starting to look old, so I will look at updating those soon.

The latest version is on the download page. Thanks to those people who have taken the time to let me know what they think, and to report problems or suggest ideas for further development. I see there are some hits on the streams page — at this stage I am interested in hearing from anyone who is finding zsync useful, and at this early stage I am very open to suggestions for how the project should be developed further.
