[ANN] Blosc 1.1.1 released (with contents now)

[Francesc Alted]

Now, let's see if I can manage to attach the announcement :-/

===============================================================
Announcing Blosc 1.1.1
A blocking, shuffling and lossless compression library
===============================================================

What is new?
============

- Added code to avoid calling blosc_set_nthreads more than necessary.
That will improve performance up to 3x or more, specially for small
chunksizes (< 1 MB).

For more info, please see the RELEASE_NOTES.txt file.

What is it?
===========

Blosc (http://blosc.pytables.org) is a high performance 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 is the first compressor (that I'm aware of) that is meant not
only to reduce the size of large datasets on-disk or in-memory, but
also to accelerate memory-bound computations.
