Version 1.5.0 - "Able adenine"

New and Improved Features:

• Since this release, umi-transfer features internal multi-threaded output compression. As a result, umi-transfer 1.5 now runs approximately 25 times faster than version 1.0 when using internal compression and about twice as fast compared to using an external compression tool via a buffered pipe.
• The new CLI arguments -t, --threads <NUM_THREADS> and -l, --compression_level <COMPRESSION_LEVEL> have been introduced accordingly. The compression level defaults to 3. Higher numbers result in marginally smaller files but take significantly longer to compress. For the number of threads, we recommend 9 or 11, if a sufficient number of logical cores are available.
• The Docker base image has been updated from Debian Bullseye (Version 11) to Debian Bookworm (Version 12).
• Improved integration tests, including CLI prompts.
• Updates to the internal Rust libraries and dependencies.

Discontinued Previous Features:

• None
