BTXZ Archiver — Major Release (v1.2.0)

Overview

This release introduces the new v3 core: a next-generation compression and encryption engine that improves performance, security, and extensibility.

Breaking changes (important)

• The on-disk archive format has changed. Existing archives require migration — see the README for the migration guide.
• Several CLI flags have been renamed or removed. Review any automation or scripts that call the CLI.

Highlights

• v3 core engine: Redesigned compression and encryption primitives with a modular architecture.
• Documentation: README updated with a complete changelog and step-by-step upgrade instructions.
• Build & dependencies: Dependency updates, build script improvements, and enhanced cross-platform packaging.
• Tooling: Miscellaneous tooling and packaging refinements for more reliable releases.

Recommended actions

1. Back up all existing archives prior to upgrading.
2. Read the migration guide in the README and follow the upgrade steps.
3. Update CI, automation, and any scripts that rely on the CLI flags.
