- Refactor to work around Chromium's issue with postMessage queuing. https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1075645
- Convert codec code to TypeScript.
- Make separate parallel and non-parallel builds.
- Switch to nightly Rust for OxiPNG to allow parallel builds (but also reuse it for regular builds to avoid installing two toolchains).
Now initialise all workers with module+memory separately, and then instead of using postMessage to send thread pointers, push them into a crossbeam-deque on the Rust side.
Rayon already depends on crossbeam-dequeue, so we're not even adding another dependency, and this model allows us to push "tasks" (thread pointers) on the main thread and pop them on worker threads in arbitrary order without sacrificing correctness.
This makes building simpler and allows us to potentially use multithreading version in the future.
For now points to a custom fork of OxiPNG that enables WebAssembly support, as PR is still pending review.
