llama.cpp Release b11063 Fixes Invalid UTF-8 Handling in PEG Parser

llama.cpp release b11063 introduces a patch to handle invalid UTF-8 sequences gracefully within the Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) of its Parsing Expression Grammar (PEG) parser module. The update ensures the parser returns maximal subparts for malformed bytes according to Unicode standard recommendations. This fix enhances parser robustness when enforcing structured output grammars (such as JSON) during LLM generation. It prevents system crashes or unexpected parsing failures when handling raw or corrupted text inputs containing invalid character encodings. Implemented in PR #29161 under the common/peg module, the patch removes strict decoding arguments and standardizes bad byte sequence replacements. Pre-built binary artifacts for macOS, Linux, Windows, Android, and iOS were released alongside the code update.

## BACKGROUND

llama.cpp is a popular open-source inference engine designed to execute large language models efficiently on local hardware. Parsing Expression Grammars (PEGs) are formal grammars used within software systems to build parsers that validate and structure text generation into Abstract Syntax Trees (ASTs).
