[Pytables-users] [ANN] python-blosc 1.0.6 released

[Francesc A. <fa...@py...>]

Ups, forgot to announce this here...

=============================
Announcing python-blosc 1.0.6
=============================

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

A Python wrapper for the Blosc compression library.

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 works well for compressing numerical arrays that contains data
with relatively low entropy, like sparse data, time series, grids with
regular-spaced values, etc.

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

Updated to use Blosc 1.1.5 (fix compile error with MSVC compilers). 
Thanks to Christoph Gohlke.
