Documentation:
- add note that brotli is a "stream" format, not an archive-like
- regenerate .1 with Pandoc
Build:
- drop legacy "BROTLI_BUILD_PORTABLE" option
- drop "BROTLI_SANITIZED" definition
Code:
- c: comb includes
- c/enc: extract encoder state into separate header
- c/enc: drop designated q10 codepath
- c/enc: dealing better with flushing of empty stream
- fix MSVC compilation
API:
- py: use library version instead of one in version.h
- c: add plugable API to report consumed input / produced output
- c/java: support "lean" prepared dictionaries (without copy of source)
* New feature: "Large Window Brotli"
By setting special encoder/decoder flag it is now possible to extend
LZ-window up to 30 bits; though produced stream will not be RFC7932
compliant.
Added new dictionary generator - "DSH". It combines speed of "Sieve"
and quality of "DM". Plus utilities to prepare train corpora
(remove unique strings).
Improved compression ratio: now two sub-blocks could be stitched:
the last copy command could be extended to span the next sub-block.
Fixed compression ineffectiveness caused by floating numbers rounding and
wrong cost heuristic.
Other C changes:
- combined / moved `context.h` to `common`
- moved transforms to `common`
- unified some aspects of code formatting
- added an abstraction for encoder (static) dictionary
- moved default allocator/deallocator functions to `common`
brotli CLI:
- window size is auto-adjusted if not specified explicitly
Java:
- added "eager" decoding both to JNI wrapper and pure decoder
- huge speed-up of `DictionaryData` initialization
* Add dictionaryless compressed dictionary
* Fix `sources.lst`
* Fix `sources.lst` and add a note that `libtool` is also required.
* Update setup.py
* Fix `EagerStreamTest`
* Fix BUILD file
* Add missing `libdivsufsort` dependency
* Fix "unused parameter" warning.
