Work Plan
- Pure Rust implementation
- Implement zlib compression and decompression in pure rust
- Fuzz output versus zlib-ng
- C API layer and security verification
- Complete the C interface to mirror (at the ABI level) the zlib api
- Fuzz the public interface
- Integrate with flate2
- Alternative zlib backend through C interface
- Ensure the implementation works on all platforms (Windows, Linux, Macos)
- Benchmarking
- Benchmark on CI (similar to rustls)
- Benchmark for all supported architectures
- aarch64 (NEON)
- x86_64 (SSE, AVX2, AVX512)
- x86_64 and ARM optimizations
- Add SIMD acceleration based on zlib-ng
- Incorporate optimizations from other implementations
- First stable release
- Provide downloads for the dynamic library for supported platforms (x86_64 & aarch64 for linux, macos and windows)
- Stabilize and publish the safe rust API
