Dirk Stoecker 292c9efb9e Accepting request 1084765 from home:amanzini:branches:science
- Update to 1.5.0:
  * Significant speed ups to the fqzcomp codec via code restructuring
    and use of memory prefetch instructions. Encode is 30-40% faster
    and decode 5-8% faster.
  * Remove unused ax_with_libdeflate.m4 file from build system
- removed patch fix_ix86_build.patch already merged in upstream
- Update to 1.4.0:
  * This is almost entirely minor bug fixing with a few small updates.
  * Optimise compression / speed of the name tokeniser
  * Improvements for Intel -m32 builds, including better AVX2 validation
  * Detect Neon capability at runtime via operating system APIs.
  * Update hts_pack to operate in line with CRAMcodecs spec, where the number of symbols > 16.
  * Fixed too-stringent buffer overflow checking in O1 rans decoder.

- Update to 1.3.0:
* The primary change in this release is a new SIMD enabled
rANS codec.
There is a 32-way unrolled rANS implementation. This is accessed
using the existing rans 4x16 API with the RANS_ORDER_X32 bit set.
* Improved memory allocation via a new htscodecs_tls_alloc function.
* Some external functions have been renamed, with the old ones
still existing in a deprecated fashion.
* Improved test framework with an "entropy" tool that iterates
over all entropy encoders.
* Reworked fuzzing infrastructure.
* Small speed improvements to various rANS encoders and decoders.
* Substantial memory reduction to the name tokeniser (tok3).
* Fixed undefined behaviour in our use of _builtin_clz().
* Fixed a few redundant #includes.
* Work around strict aliasing bugs, uncovered with gcc -O2.
* Fixed an issue with encoding data blocks close to 2GB in size.
* Fix encode error with large blocks using RANS_ORDER_STRIPE.
- Add fix_ix86_build.patch
