    Bifrost Pre-Release

    This is a pre-release of Bifrost packed with new features!

    New Features

    • Preserve mode: On Unix systems, allows users to preserve ownership of directories.
    • New allocator: The global allocator for Unix systems is now tikv_jemallocator, which offers significantly better allocation efficiency thanks to its optimized size-class system (smaller buckets mean less wasted memory). Basic testing shows roughly a 10% improvement in memory usage over the previous version.
    • Multithreaded path traversal: A new traversal module built with Rayon deploys parallel walkers to discover files up to 5x faster than the sequential implementation.
    • Analysis mode: Analyse the source directory and print basic discovered statistics, including traversal time. Future versions may suggest scheduler usage.

    Optimizations

    • Removed an unnecessary conversion to Vec<> for sorting by switching to BTreeMap (effectively a sorted HashMap).
    • Added a macro for constructing file data. Since it's evaluated at compile time, there's no performance cost—and it greatly improves readability while enabling cleaner file operations.
    • Objects inside the FileData struct are no longer cloned on access. Existing getters and setters now return Option<&T> for better performance.

    New architectures

    • Linux on ARM
    • Windows on ARM

    PS. As always, new flags were introduced, so please regenerate your completions—and don't forget to remove the old ones from your .bashrc.
