# Announcing C-Blosc2 2.9.2
A fast, compressed and persistent binary data store library for C.

## What is new?

This a maintenance release with improved support for dynamic plugins and
fixes for some corner cases when handling incompressible data.  Also,
many other small fixes and improvements have been included.  An upgrade to
this release is recommended.

## 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 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.
