Latest Releases¶

v1.3.25 (2026-03-06)¶

• Improved: load_archive from URL no longer loads the file into RAM, reducing memory consumption. Instead, the data is efficiently downloaded in chunks to a temporary file for loading.

v1.3.24¶

• Improved: Moved internal _openers variable to module level, eliminating per-call dictionary allocation.
• Improved: loader by caching isinstance(line, bytes) check, evaluating only once instead of per iteration.
• Improved: dump_archive worker using os.makedirs(exist_ok=True) to eliminate race conditions and reduce syscalls.
• Improved: Streamlined dump function by combining isinstance(file, (str, os.PathLike)) check with os.fspath.
• Improved: Removed redundant iter() call and improved _looks_like_url code structure for better readability.

v1.3.23¶
