Brotli is a generic-purpose lossless compression algorithm that compresses data using a combination of a modern variant of the LZ77 algorithm, Huffman coding and 2nd order context modeling, with a compression ratio comparable to the best currently available general-purpose compression methods. It is similar in speed with deflate but offers more dense compression. This update contains a secuity update, which fixes an "integer overflow" problem [1]. And, a new package python38-brotli-1.0.9-1 for python38 bindings. [1]: https://github.com/google/brotli/blob/v1.0.9/README.md Lemures Lemniscati
