zlib-ng

• Wheels are now build for MacOS arm64 architectures.
• Fix a bug where READ and WRITE in zlib_ng.gzip_ng were inconsistent with the
  values in gzip on Python 3.13
• Small simplifications to the gzip_ng.compress and gzip_ng.decompress
  functions, which should lead to less overhead.

• Fix a bug where files larger than 4GB could not be decompressed.

• Fix a reference counting error that happened on module initialization and
  triggered an error in the CPython debug build.
• Fix a setup.py error that was triggered on MacOS ARM64.

• Fix a bug where streams that were passed to gzip_ng_threaded.open where
  closed.
• Fix compatibility with Python 3.13

• Add a gzip_ng_threaded module that contains the gzip_ng_threaded.open
  function. This allows using multithreaded compression as well as escaping the
  GIL.
• The internal gzip_ng._GzipReader has been rewritten in C. As a result the
  overhead of decompressing files has significantly been reduced.
• The gzip_ng._GzipReader in C is now used in gzip_ng.decompress. The
  _GzipReader also can read from objects that support the buffer protocol.
  This has reduced overhead significantly.
• Fix some unclosed buffer errors in the gzip_ng CLI.

• Source distributions on Linux now default to building with configure and
  make as it is faster and has less dependencies than CMake.
• Python 3.12 support was added. Python 3.7 support was dropped as it is end
  of life.
• Enabled installation on BSD
• Update embedded zlib-ng version to 2.1.5. This comes with some speed
  improvements and changes with regards to the compression levels. Also
  several bugs were fixed. For full
  details checkout the zlib-ng 2.1.2 release notes <https://github.com/zlib-ng/zlib-ng/releases/tag/2.1.2>_ as well as
  those for the bugfix releases 2.1.3 <https://github.com/zlib-ng/zlib-ng/releases/tag/2.1.3>,
  2.1.4 <https://github.com/zlib-ng/zlib-ng/releases/tag/2.1.4> and
  2.1.5 <https://github.com/zlib-ng/zlib-ng/releases/tag/2.1.5>_.

• Update embedded zlib-ng version to 2.0.7
• Escape GIL for adler32 and crc32 functions.

The first release for python-zlib-ng.

• Build wheels for all three major operating systems.
• Add a fully featured gzip application in python -m zlib_ng.gzip_ng.
• Port Cpython's gzip module to use zlib-ng.
• Port CPython's zlib module to use zlib-ng.
• Use zlib-ng version 2.0.6 as included statically linked version.
