=============================================================== Announcing Blosc 1.2.2 A blocking, shuffling and lossless compression library ===============================================================
What is new? ============ - All important warnings removed for all tested platforms. This allows less intrusive compilation experiences with applications including Blosc source code. - The `bench/bench.c` has been updated so that it can be compiled on Windows again. - The new web site has been set to: http://www.blosc.org 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.
