Changes in version 1.2.7 (2026-03-02)                  

Features

  - Transparent gzip support for all read/write functions via .mtx.gz
    file extension (#28)
  - Add fmm_to_spam() and spam_to_fmm() for reading/writing spam sparse
    matrices (#2)
  - Add fmm_to_SparseM() and SparseM_to_fmm() for reading/writing
    SparseM matrix.csr objects (#1)
  - write_fmm() dispatcher now handles spam and matrix.csr inputs
  - ASV benchmark infrastructure with CI integration

Bug Fixes

  - Require cpp11 >= 0.5.0 to resolve non-API usage of SETLENGTH,
    SET_GROWABLE_BIT, and SET_TRUELENGTH (cause of CRAN archival)

    (adds cstdint include fix, removes unused charconv include)
  - Move vendored fast_matrix_market headers from inst/include/ to src/
    to reduce installed package size (headers not needed at runtime)
