v0.1.0

First public release of PipeSort C API

This release introduces the first stable C API for PipeSort, a
comparison free sorting algorithm optimized for wide unsigned integers
128 bit and beyond.

PipeSort is a specialized algorithm and not a replacement for std::sort.
It targets workloads where key comparisons are expensive and data shows
shared binary structure.

Highlights

• Pure C library with a small and explicit API using the psort prefix
• Universal multi limb sorter psort_u
• Optimized specializations
  • psort_u128 in place sorting
  • psort_u256_index
  • psort_u512_index
• Data adaptive sorting using most significant bit first partitioning
• Prefix skipping for shared high bits
• Build support using Make and CMake
• Licensed under Apache License version 2.0

Notes

• This is an early but fully usable release version 0.x
• The public API is intentionally minimal
• Internal implementation may evolve and API changes will be versioned

See README.md for a high level overview and docs algorithm.md
for detailed algorithm explanation.
