2.0.0

Complete overhaul of library:

• new file packaging and manifest system, ability to extract individual files from the stream as frames are decoded
• read and write both use multiple CPU cores for substantially better performance
• file masking added- optionally encrypt stream data and manifest along with the payload, hidden until correct key used
• presets added- set certain write configurations using a simple string as a key, without having to explicitly state them each time
• many utility functions added to control BitGlitter's state entirely like an API (so the Electron app can do just that), can get or set all end-user-relevant data
• 150% speed increase through more efficient means of rendering
• persistent data moved from pickle -> SQLite, massively improving I/O performance as well as transparency of saved state for both developers and end users
• frame data moved from binary files to SQL
• complete repo restructure for easier future upgrades and maintenance. all existing logic revisited, simplified and streamlined
• new read feature- stopping read when metadata loads
• new read feature- control whether decoding unpackages the files at read, or at a later time
• new read feature- toggle whether database auto-deletes data when stream is fully decoded and all files are extracted
• new read feature- blacklist specific SHA-256 hashes from being read, auto-aborts from read if ID detected in stream header
• new palette feature- import and export custom palettes with base64 encoded strings, built-in measures to protect against corruption
• new palette feature- generate sample frames from a given palette (or all palettes)
• 40 new sample custom palettes (optimized towards aesthetics vs performance) added as default palettes
• configurable paths for read and write output
• read/write frame progress now includes a percentage as well as current frame position
• countless minor tweaks, improvements, and overall cleanup and optimization of code

1.0.3

Misc

• Basic CLI functionality added for read() and write(). Good work @Drunpy .

1.0.2

Write update

• Initial argument fileList can now accept a string, provided you're only sending one file or folder path
• write() argument saveOutputPath renamed to outputPath for consistent argument names across read() and write()

Read update

• 1.7x overall speed increase from optimizations
• ~14.7x speed increase in block scanning after migrating to cv2 for read functionality
• temporary frames are no longer saved as files, but rather loaded directly into memory. all "working folder" functionality removed.

Misc

• readme changes to reflect update
