Until now, the zbuffer was written straight from the internal zbuffer, which has values that are inverse-proportional (like 1.0/z) which makes it very hard to use it for postprocess, like zblur or other composit effects that require Z. Based on info from ILM, the values stored for Z in exr files is the actual distance from a camera. I think that's about time to migrate to that convention! By default now, after render, the z values are converted to floats. This saves in exr files now, but not in the Iris Z files. That latter was a blender-only anyway, so might be not a real hassle to drop. :) You can see the difference in the image window, but notice the range now is linear mapped from camera clipstart to clipend. Note; I just discover that ortho Z values need a different correction...
