Congrats on the release. I was wondering what the zstd team is up to lately.

You mentioned something about grid structured data being in the plans - can you give more details?

Have you done experiments with compressing BCn GPU texture formats? They have a peculiar branched structure, with multiple sub formats packed tightly in bitfields of 64- or 128-bit blocks; due to the requirement of fixed ratio and random access by the GPU they still leave some potential compression on the table.
