If you think #Gentoo was boring recently, I've been doing some stuff to make it more interesting. No need to thank me.

Această solicitare de modificare provizorie este depusă în parte de inginerii de programe de la Intel care doresc să îmbunătățească performanța Zlib pe procesoarele moderne.

Zlib-NG continuă să fie dezvoltat ca o […]
