@@ -189,6 +189,15 @@ This project builds upon the software and experience of many. Many thanks to:

<https://github.com/pycompression/xopen>`_ and by extension `cutadapt
190190
<https://github.com/marcelm/cutadapt>`_ projects. This gave python-isal its
191191
first users who used python-isal in production.

+ Mark Adler (@madler) for the excellent comments in his pigz code which made
193+
it very easy to replicate the behaviour for writing gzip with multiple
194+
threads using the ``threading`` and ``isal_zlib`` modules. Another thanks
195+
for his permissive license, which allowed the crc32_combine code to be
196+
included in the project. (ISA-L does not provide a crc32_combine function,
197+
unlike zlib.) And yet another thanks to Mark Adler and also for
198+
Jean-loup Gailly for creating the gzip format which is very heavily used
199+
in bioinformatics. Without that, I would have never written this library
200+
from which I have learned so much.
192201
+ The `github actions team <https://github.com/orgs/actions/people>`_ for
193202
creating the actions CI service that enables building and testing on all
194203
three major operating systems.
