ANN: C-Blosc 1.13.4 is out!

[Francesc Alted]

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

 Announcing C-Blosc 1.13.4

 A blocking, shuffling and lossless compression library for C

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

What is new?

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

Fixed a buffer overrun that happens when compressing small buffers and

len(destination_buffer) < (len(source_buffer) + BLOSC_MAX_OVERHEAD).

Thanks to Ivan Smirnov for reporting this.

This bug was introduced in the 1.13.0 release and an upgrade is strongly recommended.

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, Zlib and Zstd.  This way these can

automatically leverage the multithreading and pre-filtering

(shuffling) capabilities that comes with Blosc.
