Release v0.8.0 · beyondhumane/arca

0.8.0 (2026-10-04)

7z: arca-core's Method gains LZMA/LZMA2/Bzip2 variants and Format moves to arca_core::Format; downstream code that matched exhaustively or defined its own Format must migrate.
rar: Entry.crc32 is now Option; use Some for known ZIP CRCs and None for unavailable checksums. Method::code() now returns Result so callers must propagate or handle errors for non-ZIP methods.
