1.0.0

packtab 1.0.0

This is the first stable release of packtab! 🎉

What's New

Bug Fixes

• Fixed mapping parameter to accept bidirectional mappings: The mapping parameter in pack_table() now correctly accepts
  bidirectional dictionaries (e.g., {0: "Cc", "Cc": 0}), which are commonly used in Unicode table generation. Previously, this would
  incorrectly raise a TypeError.

Recent Improvements (since 0.4.0)

• Implemented frequency-based chunk sorting for better cache optimization
• Fixed constant data optimization with comprehensive edge case tests
• Implemented dual compression with #ifdef __OPTIMIZE_SIZE__
• Fixed tests and enabled mapping validation
• Removed black and flake8 linting in favor of simpler tooling

Development Status

• Updated from Beta to Production/Stable

pip install packtab==1.0.0
