 ### Introduction

 Brotli is a generic-purpose lossless compression algorithm that compresses data

It would appear that the v1.0.8 tarball references code from d052918 rather than db361a0.

Don't ever replace tags. github apparently does not support it - and git clients also do not force update tags.

Re-released as 1.0.9
