REA CLI 0.6.7 — Release notes

New archives use REA 0.5.0. Encryption also protects names, sizes, dates and hashes; browsing requires the password or key. Encrypted archive headers are authenticated. Reading 0.4 archives remains supported; older tools cannot read 0.5. CLI export with --format-version 0.4.0 retains the privacy limits of 0.4. Optional Ed25519 signatures are available in the CLI and require a trusted public key.
