Release v0.7.7

Features

• Streamlined Repository & Distribution Footprint:
  • Configured gitattributes export-ignore rules to exclude docs, examples, and CI folders from release source archives, reducing the package tarball size significantly.
  • Streamlined root README to highlight high-throughput benchmarks, sign-mode visualization figures, and links to the official documentation site.
• Multi-Version Documentation Archive:
  • Added archived documentation and search indexes for versions v0.7.5 and v0.7.6.
  • Added qualitative comparison figures including mesh quality visualizations (fig-quality.webp).

Refactors & Build

• Cleaned Repository Roots:
  • Removed outdated acknowledgement files and redundant compose templates in favor of the rendered docs about page.
• Package Version: Bumped version to v0.7.7.

Examples
