No compression rule & match strategies

0.15.4 introduces the no-compression rule as well as 2 strategies for matching frames to rules : best and first.

• best strategy goes through all rules of a context and returns the one that shows the smaller residue
• first strategy returns the first rule matching a frame, regardless of the compression performance.

v0.15.3

v0.15.1 - no-compression rule implementation

What's Changed

• [bugfix] field_match now checks for field length for MSB matching by @quentinlampin in #15

Full Changelog: 0.15.0...0.15.1

v0.15.0 - no-compression rule implementation

What's Changed

• [feature] no-compression rule by @quentinlampin in #14

Full Changelog: 0.14.0...0.15.0

v0.14.0 - Rule matching strategies: FIRST and BEST match

This release implements two strategies for the ContextManager:

• FIRST match: the context manager uses the first matching rule of the rules set. This speeds up the execution time.
• BEST match: the context manager uses the best matching rule of the rules set. This favours compression performance over execution time.

What's Changed

• [feature] rule matching strategies by @quentinlampin in #13
