C-Blosc 1.14.1 released

[Francesc Alted]

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

 Announcing C-Blosc 1.14.1

 A blocking, shuffling and lossless compression library for C

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

What is new?

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

The main reason for this release is fixing a bug that caused C-Blosc to crash

on platforms requiring strict alignment (as in some kinds of ARM CPUs).

Thanks to Elvis Stansvik and Michael Hudson-Doyle for their help.

For the whole discussion see https://github.com/Blosc/c-blosc/issues/223 .

For more info, please see the release notes in:

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.
