v1.5.6.5

What's Changed

• feat: unlock GVL for simple compression and decompression by @SpringMT in #84

v1.5.6.4

What's Changed

• fix: free dctx for Zstd.decompress by @SpringMT in #81
• fix: compression crash by @SpringMT in #83

Bug Fix

• Fixed a memory leak when using Zstd.decompress().
  In versions 1.5.6.2 and 1.5.6.3, the context (ZSTD_DCtx) does not released after the decompression process was completed. This PR #81 addresses that issue.

• Resolved a crash when using Zstd.compress().
  In versions 1.5.6.2 and 1.5.6.3, Zstd.compress() internally used ZSTD_compressStream2, but it was crashing due to incomplete consumption of the internal buffer when large bytes were received. Zstd.compress() now uses ZSTD_compress2 instead of ZSTD_compressStream2 to ensure it doesn’t crash when processing large bytes.

If you are using versions v1.5.6.2 or v1.5.6.3, please update to version v1.5.6.4.

Unlock GVL for streaming compression/decompression

Zstd streaming compression/decompression is a CPU-only process that do not involve the ruby interpreter.
Therefore, it is possible to unlock the GVL, allowing for parallel multiple threads, thus fully utilizing CPU resources.

This program demonstrates the difference:
