libhtscodecs2 - 0.5-3 main

This library implements the custom CRAM codecs used for "EXTERNAL" block
types. These consist of two variants of the rANS codec (8-bit and 16-bit
renormalisation, with run-length encoding and bit-packing also supported
in the latter), a dynamic arithmetic coder, and custom codecs for name/ID
compression and quality score compression derived from fqzcomp.
.
They come with small command line test tools to act as both compression
exploration programs and as part of the test harness.
