+- ``ofstream::write`` and ``ifstream::read`` have been optimized to pass through large reads and writes to system calls
+  directly instead of copying them in chunks.
 - Multiple internal types have been refactored to use ``[[no_unique_address]]``, resulting in faster compile times and
   reduced debug information.
