Oh, I think this is the one that I wanted to announce.  Sorry about that...

===============================================================
  Announcing Blosc 1.1.5
  A blocking, shuffling and lossless compression library
===============================================================

What is new?
============

This is maintenance release fixing an issue that avoided compilation
with MSVC.

For more info, please see the release notes in:

https://github.com/FrancescAlted/blosc/wiki/Release-notes

What is it?
===========

Blosc (http://blosc.pytables.org) is a high performance 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 is the first compressor (that I'm aware of) that is meant not
only to reduce the size of large datasets on-disk or in-memory, but
also to accelerate object manipulations that are memory-bound.

It also comes with a filter for HDF5 (http://www.hdfgroup.org/HDF5) so
that you can easily implement support for Blosc in your favourite HDF5
tool.

Download sources
================
