gix-pack v0.42.0

on GitHub

New Features

• Add generate and streaming-input feature toggles.
  That way, it's possible to not compile a bunch of code in gix if
  the writing of packs isn't required.

Bug Fixes

• Use Vec::resize() instead of set_len()
  Otherwise it's possible for uninitialized memory to be used as if it was initialized,
  which can lead to strange behaviour.

  As the buffer is re-used, it's not actually zeroing that much memory either.

Chore (BREAKING)

• update to the latest prodash
  It makes proper usage of Progress types easier and allows them to be used
  as dyn traits as well.

New Features (BREAKING)

• use prodash::Count to indicate that nothing more than counting is performed, in place of prodash::Progress

• Make usage of decompression context explicit.
  That way, the context can be reused which is more efficient than recreating
  it from scratch for every little delta to decompress.

  This leads to a performance gain of 1.3%.

Bug Fixes (BREAKING)

• use dyn trait where possible.
  This reduces compile time due to avoiding duplication.
