Hi, I am thinking of using this crate for maplibre/martin#1049 - storing binary diffs for map tile distribution. This is a widely used format with multiple implementations in different languages, so creating a diff may be done with one tool, and patching the diff (in theory) could be done with another. Additionally, it would have to be versioned somehow, so that if the diff language changes in some way, we could track and avoid messing up the data. Thus, I would need to reference a definitive documentation on the diff format specifics, i.e. the "diff language". Is there such a documentation that you know of? Should it be created?

P.S. I will be happy to contribute to your project as well. Thx!

Hi, its been two years since the last publication of this crate, but there has been a number of breaking API changes since then. When you have a sec, please publish the new version. Thanks for your hard work on this!
