v1.7.1
Features
- New stng-owned string cache (in-memory + disk) so consumers share one copy instead of re-extracting.
- Strings now carry their source byte extent, fixing span math for UTF-16LE, base64, and stack strings.
Fixes
- Stack-string junk (stack fills, register-save patterns) no longer bypasses the garbage filter.
- Fixed a quadratic slowdown in XOR scanning on large payloads (tens of seconds → fast, identical output).
Performance
- 40% faster test suite
- bumped jemalloc to 0.7
- trimmed per-string memory (dropped unused metadata fields).
