Fedora EPEL Update Notification
FEDORA-EPEL-2024-37e02ac791
2024-10-04 02:38:25.775540
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Name        : python-zlib-ng
Product     : Fedora EPEL 9
Version     : 0.5.1
Release     : 1.el9
URL         : https://github.com/pycompression/python-zlib-ng
Summary     : Drop-in replacement for zlib and gzip modules using zlib-ng
Description :
Faster zlib and gzip compatible compression and decompression by providing
Python bindings for the zlib-ng library.

This package provides Python bindings for the zlib-ng library.

python-zlib-ng provides the bindings by offering three modules:

  • zlib_ng: A drop-in replacement for the zlib module that uses zlib-ng to
    accelerate its performance.
  • gzip_ng: A drop-in replacement for the gzip module that uses zlib_ng
    instead of zlib to perform its compression and checksum tasks, which
    improves performance.
  • gzip_ng_threaded offers an open function which returns buffered read or
    write streams that can be used to read and write large files while escaping
    the GIL using one or multiple threads. This functionality only works for
    streaming, seeking is not supported.

zlib_ng and gzip_ng are almost fully compatible with zlib and gzip from the
Python standard library. There are some minor differences see:
https://pypi.org/project/zlib-ng/#differences-with-zlib-and-gzip-modules

Beginning with Fedora Linux 40, zlib-ng provides the system-wide zlib
implementation, so the Python standard library already uses it by default.
However, some projects still need the APIs provided by this package.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

0.5.0
Wheels are now built for MacOS arm64 architectures.
Fix a bug where READ and WRITE in zlib_ng.gzip_ng were inconsistent with the
values in gzip on Python 3.13
Small simplifications to the gzip_ng.compress and gzip_ng.decompress functions,
which should lead to less overhead.
0.5.1
Fix a bug where flushing in threaded mode did not write the data to the output
file.
Threaded reading and writing do no longer block exiting when an exception occurs
in the main thread.
