Switch to proto2 #43

Closed dabreegster closed 1 year ago

dabreegster commented 1 year ago

See #42 for rationale. This lets us express optional fields.

[x] Regenerate all data and publish a new version

Just switching from proto3 to proto2 increases output file size (see the updated performance table), but the difference is negligible once gzipped. It's worth the benefit of being able to use optional.
