- ===============================================================
- Announcing c-blosc 1.9.3
- A blocking, shuffling and lossless compression library for C
- ===============================================================
- What is new?
- ============
- This is a maintenance release for reverting a mistake introduced in
- 1.7.1. At that time, bit-shuffling was enabled for typesize == 1 (i.e.
- strings), but the change also included byte-shuffling accidentally. This
- only affected performance, but in a quite bad way (a copy was needed).
- This has been fixed and byte-shuffling is not active anymore when
- typesize == 1.
- 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 and Zlib. This way these can
- automatically leverage the multithreading and pre-filtering
- (shuffling) capabilities that comes with Blosc.
- Download sources
- ================
- Please go to main web site:
- http://www.blosc.org/
- and proceed from there. The github repository is over here:
- https://github.com/Blosc
- Blosc is distributed using the MIT license, see LICENSES/BLOSC.txt for
- details.
- Mailing list
- ============
- There is an official Blosc mailing list at:
- blosc@googlegroups.com
