Hi, I'm happy to announce the availability of Blosc 1.2.0 RC1. It exists currently just as a tag in the github repo (https://github.com/FrancescAlted/blosc), so you can fetch it as:
https://github.com/FrancescAlted/blosc/archive/v1.2.0-rc1.tar.gz If everything goes well, I plan to do an official release in a week or so. Enjoy data! Francesc =============================================================== Announcing Blosc 1.2.0 RC1 A blocking, shuffling and lossless compression library =============================================================== What is new? ============ The most important features for this release are support for cmake (tested on Linux, Mac OSX and Windows) and thread safety calls of Blosc functions from threaded apps. Many thanks for those who contributed to this release: Thibault North, Antonio Valentino, Mark Wiebe and Valentin Haenel. For more info, please see the release notes in: https://github.com/FrancescAlted/blosc/wiki/Release-notes What is it? =========== Blosc (http://www.blosc.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. There is also a handy command line for Blosc called Bloscpack (https://github.com/esc/bloscpack) that allows you to compress large binary datafiles on-disk. Although the format for Bloscpack has not stabilized yet, it allows you to effectively use Blosc from you favorite shell.
