 ### Changes
 
  * **BREAKING**: the experimental `Compressable-LZMA2` type has changed (less overhead).
  * **DEPRECATED**: `freeze-to-stream!`, `thaw-from-stream!` are deprecated in favor of the more general `freeze-to-out!`, `thaw-from-in!`.
  * **DEPRECATED**: `:legacy-mode` options. This was being used mainly for headerless freezing, so a new headerless mode is taking its place.
- * Public utils now available for custom type extension: `write-bytes`, `write-biginteger`, `write-utf8`, `write-compact-long`, and respective readers.
  * Now distinguish between `BigInteger` and `BigInt` on thawing (previously both thawed to `BigInt`s). (mlacorte).
  * Moved most utils to external `encore` dependency.
