Announcing bcolz 1.2.1

======================

What's new

==========

This is a maintenance release where C-Blosc internal sources has been updated

to 1.14.3, in which Zstd codec should exhibit improved performance.  Also,

`np.datetime64` and other scalar objects that have `__getitem__()` are now

supported in _eval_blocks() (thanks to apalepu23). Finally, there is improved

support for ARM (specially for aarch64) and PowerPC architectures

(only little-endian).

For a more detailed change log, see:

https://github.com/Blosc/bcolz/blob/master/RELEASE_NOTES.rst

For some comparison between bcolz and other compressed data containers,

see:

specially chapters 3 (in-memory containers) and 4 (on-disk containers).

  **Enjoy data!**
