- ===============================================================
- Announcing C-Blosc 1.14.3
- A blocking, shuffling and lossless compression library for C
- ===============================================================
- What is new?
- ============
- The main change for this release is that the pthreads library is
- not needed on any Windows build anymore. Thanks to Steven G. Johnson.
- Also, the internal Zstd sources have been updated to 1.3.4; expect
- an important performance boost (can be up to 10%, specially for low
- compression levels).
- 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.
- Download sources
- ================
- The github repository is over here:
- https://github.com/Blosc
- Blosc is distributed using the BSD license, see LICENSES/BLOSC.txt for
- details.
- Mailing list
- ============
- There is an official Blosc mailing list at:
- blosc@googlegroups.com

- Enjoy Data!
