Version 8.0.1

Release Notes

1. Enhanced Bit-Vector Serialization & Compression
   - Introduced a new, more efficient serialization format for bit-vectors, significantly improving compression.
   - Note: This change is not backward compatible, but forward compatibility is maintained—new versions can read and deserialize older bit-vectors.

2. Optimized Succinct Vectors Serialization
   - Succinct vectors serialization now benefits from the improved bit-vector compression, reducing storage and improving performance.

3. Improved Error Handling & Robustness
   - Serialization error handling has been improved, with better exception-based reporting for corrupted or malformed serialized objects.
   - Previously, deserialization failures could lead to crashes—now, errors are properly detected and reported.

4. Code Cleanup & Static Analysis Fixes
   - Addressed compiler warnings and refined code based on static analysis, improving maintainability and stability.
