containerd/stargz-snapshotter v0.13.0

on GitHub

This release enables to optionallly create smaller eStargz images using the following flags for ctr-rmeote i convert or ctr-remote i optimize (#956).

• --estargz-external-toc: Separates TOC JSON into another image (called "TOC image"). The result eStargz doesn't contain TOC so we can expect a smaller size than normal eStargz (refer to /docs/estargz.md for the related eStargz spec).
• --estargz-min-chunk-size: Specifies the minimal number of bytes of data must be written in one gzip stream. If it's > 0, multiple files and chunks can be written into one gzip stream. Smaller number of gzip header and smaller size of the result blob can be expected (refer to /docs/estargz.md for the related eStargz spec).

Please refer to /docs/smaller-estargz.md for more details about the usage.
