# Announcing C-Blosc2 2.15.2
A fast, compressed and persistent binary data store library for C.

## What is new?

This is a maintenance release in which we are fixing some issues
that have been reported by the community. The most relevant changes are:

* Support wasm32 by disabling ZLIB WITH_OPTIM option. Thanks to Miles Granger.

* Added support for nvcc (NVidia Cuda Compiler) in CMake. Thanks to @dqwu.

* Fix public include directories for blosc2 targets. Thanks to Dmitry Mikushin.

For more info, please see the release notes in:

https://github.com/Blosc/c-blosc2/blob/main/RELEASE_NOTES.md

## What is it?

Blosc2 is a high performance data container optimized for binary data.
It builds on the shoulders of Blosc, the high performance meta-compressor
(https://github.com/Blosc/c-blosc). Blosc2 is the next generation of Blosc,
an `award-winning <https://www.blosc.org/posts/prize-push-Blosc2/>`_
library that has been around for more than a decade.

Blosc2 expands the capabilities of Blosc by providing a higher lever
container that is able to store many chunks on it (hence the super-block name).
It supports storing data on both memory and disk using the same API.
Also, it adds more compressors and filters.
