=============================================================== Announcing C-Blosc 1.21.1 A blocking, shuffling and lossless compression library for C =============================================================== What is new? ============ This is a maintenance release. Fix pthread flag when linking on ppc64le. Vendored BloscLZ, Zlib and Zstd codecs have been updated to their latest versions too; this can bring important performance improvements, so if speed is a priority to you, an upgrade is recommended. For more info, please see the release notes in: https://github.com/Blosc/c-blosc/blob/master/RELEASE_NOTES.rst What is it? =========== Blosc (http://www.blosc.org) is a high performance meta-compressor optimized for binary data. It has been designed to transmit data to the processor cache faster than the traditional, non-compressed, direct memory fetch approach via a memcpy() OS call. Blosc has internal support for different compressors like its internal BloscLZ, but also LZ4, LZ4HC, Snappy, Zlib and Zstd. This way these can automatically leverage the multithreading and pre-filtering (shuffling) capabilities that comes with Blosc.
