1. Your choice. You have now the opportunity to be sure the new version doesn't break existing code, specially yours. 2. Nevertheless it is good to have it supported by the component in an extensible way. We are not only talking about gzip but any compression scheme. 3. It has already been said that we must start with something and it is planned to have pure Delphi implementation. There are plenty.
