===============================================================
Announcing C-Blosc 1.14.1
A blocking, shuffling and lossless compression library for C
===============================================================
What is new?
============
#XXX version-specific blurb XXX#
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
================
The github repository is over here:

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