Are you planning to do change static lib ..\PureBasic\PureLibraries\Windows\Libraries\zlib.lib
from version 1.2.3 to the newest version 1.2.5 ?

Suggest to description into the http://www.zlib.net/, the version 1.2.3 is have a lot big bugs:

Version 1.2.4 has many changes over 1.2.3, including these improvements:
Fixed bugs in adler32_combine(), compressBound(), and deflateBound()
Wholesale replacement of gz* functions with faster versions
As part of that, added gzbuffer(), gzoffset(), gzclose_r(), and gzclose_w() functions
Faster Z_HUFFMAN_ONLY and Z_RLE compression for images and other specialized compression
Added flush options Z_BLOCK to deflate() and Z_TREES to inflate() for finer control
Added inflateReset2() and inflateMark() functions, the latter to aid in random access applications
Added LFS (Large File Summit) support for 64-bit file offsets and many other portability improvements
Updated examples in examples/ and updated third-party contributions in contrib/

Version 1.2.5 fixes bugs in gzseek() and gzeof() that were present in version 1.2.4 (March 2010).
All users are encouraged to upgrade immediately.
