Hi Folks-

As of 77797103f7, we have a new dependency on libzstd compression library.  This is used to compress embedded files before storing them in our files.

Please be sure to update your local build environments to account for this.

Let me know if you have any questions or conflicts,
Seth

Should be compatible with 1.3.0 or higher although I haven't tested anything that old.  Let me know if you find any compatibility issues with any version of libzstd available on modern distros.

Just to be clear, is this 8.99 only or might it be backported to 8.0?
