ANN: C-Blosc 1.18.0 released

[Francesc Alted]

===============================================================
 Announcing C-Blosc 1.18.0
 A blocking, shuffling and lossless compression library for C
===============================================================

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

A maintenance release where the copy of the leftovers of a chunk when
its size is not a multiple of typesize.  Although this is a very unusual
situation, it can certainly happen (e.g.
https://github.com/Blosc/python-blosc/issues/220).

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.


Download sources
================

Blosc is distributed using the BSD license, see LICENSES/BLOSC.txt for

Enjoy Data!

Oops.  Due to a mistake (I forgot to update the symbols for the new version in blosc.h), I had to release 1.18.1, which is essentially the same than 1.18.0.

Sorry about the inconvenience!
