C-Blosc 1.11.3 is out

[Francesc Alted]

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

 Announcing C-Blosc 1.11.3

 A blocking, shuffling and lossless compression library for C

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

What is new?

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

Fixed an important bug in bitshuffle filter for big endian machines.

This prevented files written in bigendian machines to be read from

little endian ones.  See issue https://github.com/Blosc/c-blosc/issues/181.

Also, the internal Zstd codec has been updated to 1.1.3.

Finally, the blocksize for compression level 8 has been made 2x larger.

This should help specially Zstd codec to achieve better compression ratios.

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.
