    Hi Everyone!

    I am pleased to announce version 1.7.0 of cookfs.
    Homepage and downloads are on github: https://github.com/chpock/cookfs

    Please fill free to check/build/use it. Any feedback is welcome!

    =====================================================================

    Cookfs is a Tcl virtual filesystem using a compressed archive format to
    allow embedding multiple files in an archive that Tcl scripts can
    access directly.

    It is optimized for storing Tcl packages (allowing around 10%-20%
    smaller sizes ratio than mk4vfs while still using zlib compression),
    small, fast and integrated with Tcl.

    Major changes since the last public release:

    1. Added multithreading support. It is now possible to mount cookfs
    in multithreaded mode. In this mode cookfs will be available to all
    application threads in read-write mode.

    2. Added ability to specify compression level for all supported
    compression algorithms. The optimal level is used by default.

    3. Added support for Zstandard compression (not enabled by default).

    4. Added support for brotli compression (not enabled by default).
