v0.8.0

[0.8.0] - 2023-09-10

Features

• Portable binaries. (#231)
  • SIMD capabilities are now discovered at runtime,
    allowing us to distribute one binary per target.
  • Requirements for SIMD are now more granular,
    allowing weaker CPUs to still get some of the acceleration:
    • Base SIMD is either SSE2, SSSE3, or AVX2.
    • Structural classification works on SSSE3 and above.
    • Quote classification works if pclmulqdq is available.
    • Depth classification works if popcnt is available.
  • To counteract the increased binary size debug info is no longer
    included in distributed binaries.
  • Codegen for distributed binaries is improved with fat LTO and setting
    codegen units to 1.
  • SIMD capabilities are listed with rq --version.

Reliability

• Change clippy to auguwu/clippy-action
  • The "official" action was not maintained for 3 years now.
    This one is actively maintained (thanks Noel!).
