===============================================================
Announcing C-Blosc 1.16.1
A blocking, shuffling and lossless compression library for C
===============================================================
What is new?
============
This is maintenance release that allows again to compress an empty buffer.
This was a regression intorduced in 1.16.0.
Also, the Zstd codec has been updated to 1.3.8.
For more info, please see the release notes in:
What is it?
===========
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.
