#zstd 1.5.7 is out and it's honestly quite amazing.

Highlights for me are:

- ~10% faster at small block sizes common in databases(=filesystems?)
- Limited multi-threading by default. (You could already enable it manually; this only concerns the defaults.)
- A new --max flag that inches zstd closer to #lzma/#xz. We'll need to see more testing on how close exactly but it's impressive they managed to broaden the range this far in a single format.
