I'm sharing a tool that I have been working on in hopes that someone finds it useful. The tool serves the purpose of binary patching in game updates and personal incremental backups. Thanks to a different SA-IS algorithm and parallel compression of blocks, the diffing and patching is considerably faster compared to bsdiff or alternatives. This makes binary patching, in many cases, a viable option.
