Question : Level 2 compression experimental state ?

[mvji]

Hello,

Do the level 2 compression still have an experimental status ?
the source code of compression options have a comment about an experimental state

snappy/snappy.h

Line 56 in 7406111

// Level 2 is a little slower but provides better compression. Level 2 is

snappy/snappy.h

Line 57 in 7406111

// **EXPERIMENTAL** for the time being. It might happen that we decide to

snappy/snappy.h

Line 58 in 7406111

// fall back to level 1 in the future.

But the 1.2.0 release note https://github.com/google/snappy/releases/tag/1.2.0
don't talk about an experimental status of this feature

Like snappy is used as lossless compression step for open source HAP video codec (https://github.com/vidvox/hap)
I'm interested by more efficient compression option.

If it's not experimental anymore, can be interesting to allow its use in the "C version" of snappy (like HAP open source code use C langage).

Thanks

Martin

I'll add a C version next week as I think we are ready for a new small release

It's not experimental already as we had enough experience internally and hope to remove this comment

Sorry for taking longer than promised, hopefully next week we will release 1.3.0 with this change
