v0.6.0-RC2

🚀 Release Candidate: v0.6.0-R2

This RC introduces support for --min-piece-size, allowing more control over padding behavior for small DAG and data segments, which often led to excessive padding and inefficiencies in deal making and retrieval.

✨ Highlights

• Add --min-piece-size CLI option (default: 2MiB)
• Pieces below this size are padded to min, not the full --piece-size
• Improved chunker behavior for small DAGs and remainder CARs
• Metadata now includes pieceType (data vs. DAG)

🧪 Intended for Testing

• Especially relevant for Curio compatibility
• Allows deal size minimization without breaking existing workflows
• Final v0.6.0 may include additional patches if needed
