My understanding is that a zstd library that has been built with
multi-threading support can be used to compress in parallel using
multiple threads.

As Privoxy currently only uses zstd for decompression it shouldn't
make a difference.

BTW, I intend to tag Privoxy 4.1.0 tomorrow, slightly behind schedule.

Privoxy 4.1.0 has been tagged and I have uploaded
the source tarball to SF and the website.

Hi Ian,

I noticed yesterday that a macOS package was available
at SourceForge and copied the files over to the website
and onion site mirrors.

However, I forgot to regenerate the RSS feed and when I
did that today I realised that the package file had been
changed in place. Unfortunately the SourceForge feed [0]
doesn't seem to mention this change.

Both files have valid signatures from the same RSA key
(54021FA8034C73730BF0EB74ADE1B21709E73DAF) and I'm optimistically
assuming that's yours.

I ran the files through diffoscope and came to the conclusion
that a major difference is that the more recent package has
zstd support. Is that correct?

I pulled master from the OSXPackageBuilder and got a new
commit [1] that also mentions zstd support. The previous
commit [2] is from 2023, though.

Do you have a local branch that matches the OSXPackageBuilder
state used for the 4.0.0 macOS package and the previous 4.1.0
macOS package? If yes, please push those changes as well.

By the way, I also noticed that pushes to the OSXPackageBuilder
didn't result in mails to the privoxy-commits@ list [3].
That should be fixed now.

Fabian

Well-spotted Fabian! 

Yes both versions are from me. In working through the build on Sunday I noticed that there was a far more recent pcre2 available than installed on my (now rather aged) build machine, and in my focus on upgrading that entirely forgot to download and build zstd! I realised overnight so corrected that yesterday and made appropriate tweaks to the macOS build script to include it. 

I'm afraid though that I don't have local branches representing the prior 4.1.0 nor 4.0.0 states - the package is fairly quiescent these days so I work on the head I'm afraid.

Ian

Thanks for the explanation.

In the future, please always push the state used to create published
packages to the OSXPackageBuilder repository to improve our GPL
compliance.
