OxiArc 0.2.5 adds two brand-new compression crates — Brotli (RFC 7932, quality 0-11) and Snappy (block + framed with CRC32C) — bringing the workspace to 12 crates and 12 container formats. Plus DEFLATE/GZip/Zlib streaming with flush modes, LZW streaming, and an EntryBuilder fluent API. 1,038 tests, all passing. Pure Rust archive and compression — no C, no zlib, no libarchive.
OxiArc 0.2.3 brings non-blocking I/O to the compression layer: async ZIP, async DEFLATE, and a new GZip module for Tokio/async-std pipelines, alongside a dedicated GIF LZW codec with LSB bitstream support. Plus across-the-board codec refinements. Pure Rust archive and compression — no C, no zlib, no libarchive.
The first real release of OxiArc: pure Rust archive and compression with 9 crates, 8 compression algorithms, and 10 container formats — ZIP, TAR, GZIP, LZH, XZ, 7z, CAB, LZ4, Zstd, Bzip2 — all reimplemented from scratch. No C, no zlib, no libarchive. ~19,600 lines, 371 tests, Rust 1.85+ / Edition 2024.
