ANN: C-Blosc 1.15.1 released

[Francesc Alted]

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

 Announcing C-Blosc 1.15.1

 A blocking, shuffling and lossless compression library for C

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

What is new?

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

This is a maintenance release that adds a workaround for Visual Studio

2008's lack of a stdint.h file to blosclz.c.

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.
