v0.7.1

Highlights

• Added native Windows support with both MSVC and MinGW-w64 while preserving the public C API and existing libtool ABI 4:0:0.
• Added a native CMake build for MSVC with shared and static library support, CTest regression coverage, installed-consumer validation, and vcpkg-based zlib, bzip2, and liblzma dependencies.
• Added MinGW-w64 DLL and static-library builds through Autotools, including Windows system-library dependency detection and regression testing through Wine.
• Added checked 64-bit file I/O, UTF-8 filesystem paths, native file identity handling, secure temporary files, Windows random-number generation, non-inheritable handles, and atomic MPQE destination publication.
• Refactored MPQ parsing and serialization to separate fixed on-disk wire-format sizes from naturally aligned native C structures. This removes compiler packing dependencies while preserving the public API, ABI, and serialized MPQ format.
• Improved reader robustness by propagating PKWARE decompression failures, validating logical block sizes, and rejecting inconsistent block metadata before reading archive data.
• Fixed raw block reads where source and destination already reference the same buffer, avoiding an unnecessary overlapping self-copy.
• Fixed archive cleanup so unfinished streaming writers and their temporary resources are reliably released when an archive is closed.
• Added signed native Windows SDK packages for MSVC and MinGW-w64 with headers, libraries, required runtime DLLs, licenses, documentation, and consumer validation.
• Expanded native SDK releases beyond Linux x86_64 with macOS x86_64 and arm64, Linux glibc and musl aarch64, Windows MSVC ARM64, and Windows MinGW aarch64 packages.
• Published Linux SDK archives as individual release assets and normalized native SDK archive roots so each package extracts into a predictable top-level directory.
• Added relocatable macOS SDK packages with an 11.0 deployment target, @rpath-based shared-library loading, dependency validation, relocation tests, and external consumer builds.
• Expanded Python binary distribution support with Linux aarch64 wheels, Windows AMD64 and ARM64 wheels, and macOS x86_64 and arm64 wheels, including packaged-native-library runtime validation.
• Expanded D binary packages with Linux aarch64 LDC builds, macOS DMD/LDC packages, Windows x86_64 DMD/LDC packages, and Windows ARM64 LDC packages.
• Corrected the D release target matrix by removing unsupported stable DMD macOS ARM64 packaging and fixing Bash 3.2 compatibility, ARM feature validation, and Windows DMD linker-path handling.
• Improved release and packaging validation across native SDKs and language bindings, including platform-specific package checks and normalized release artifact layouts.
• Updated the README feature overview and platform documentation for native Windows builds, macOS support, cross-platform SDK packages, and current MPQ/MPQE capabilities.
• Included DEVELOPER.md and the MPQ format documentation in Windows SDK packages alongside the public API documentation and licenses.
