text-archive-engine v0.1.2

text-archive-engine

Engine to compress and store multiple versions of text in a file

This is used by the live-archive and diff-popup Atom editor packages. It writes and reads to/from a custom text archive file format. It is not meant for public usage but if some has a good reason I can clean it up and make the API easier to understand and use.
