Version 0.5.1 (and 0.1.12 for `bzip2-sys`)

Highlights

Most changes relate to libbz2-rs-sys: we no longer enable the static feature, and now including different versions, that use either the C or the rust -sys crate, all work together in the same build.

Full Changelog: v0.5.0...v0.5.1

Version 0.5.0

The 0.5.0 release is the first release in ~2 years. It sets an msrv of 1.65.0 and pins the 2021 edition. If the msrv or edition are a problem for your project: just stick with the 0.4.4 release.

The repository has moved from @alexcrichton to @trifectatechfoundation, which takes on its maintainership from this point forward.

The main new feature of this release is the libbz2-rs-sys feature flag, which uses the pure rust https://github.com/trifectatechfoundation/libbzip2-rs implementation of bzip2. Being all rust, and using (by default) the rust allocator infrastructure, cross-compilation (e.g. to webassembly) should be much easier.

Besides that, the documentation was modernized (we can cross-link now) and several bugs were fixed.
