===============================================================
Announcing c-blosc 1.6.1
A blocking, shuffling and lossless compression library
===============================================================
What is new?
============
#XXX version-specific blurb XXX#
For more info, please see the release notes in:
https://github.com/Blosc/c-blosc/wiki/Release-notes
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 for free.
Download sources
================
Please go to main web site:
http://www.blosc.org/
and proceed from there. The github repository is over here:
