The size of the standalone binaries for Marp CLI is bloating at every releases. In version v4.5.0, we have switched the binary to Node.js SEA, and I noticed that only the size of Windows binary has been reduced compared to the previous version.
So I have thought the standalone binary for Linux and macOS also have some room for optimization. And finally, I found out the binary for all platforms can be reduced by improving bundled packages and the post/pre build process.
This PR introduces the standalone binary build for the current OS/arch with several optimizations.
The new process cannot cross-compile the binary for other OS/arch, but it's not a key problem because we have set up GitHub Actions to build the binary for primary platforms.
Done
