v0.6.0

Highlights

This release switches to libbz2-rs-sys as the default bzip2 backend. It is written in rust, making it much easier to cross-compile. The new implementation is also more performant.

The rust implementation does not export C symbols by default. An explicit dependency on libbz2-rs-sys and setting the export-symbols feature flag will fix that if needed.

The bzip2-sys feature flag can be used to continue to use the C backend (either the system library of a C version built from source).

This is a breaking release, given that we want this update to be opt-in. We've used the occasion to perform an MSRV bump to 1.82.0. The libbz2-rs-sys crate has the bzip2-1.0.6 license. Arguably, that is the license that bzip2-sys should have had too, given that it is just a wrapper of the original bzip2 (and libbz2-rs-sys is a derivative work). You may need to allow this license when using cargo-deny.
