A fast, compressed and persistent binary data store library for C.
The Blosc development team is happy to announce a new release of C-Blosc2.
This is a maintenance release for fixing a recent issue with the BloscLZ codec,
introducing a new blosc2_rename_urlpath() function and some other small
improvements and fixes.
C-Blosc2 should be backward compatible with C-Blosc, so you can start using it right away and increasingly start to use its new functionality, like the new filters, prefilters, super-chunks and frames. See docs in: https://blosc2.readthedocs.io
For more info, please see the release notes in:

Also, there is blog post introducing the most relevant changes in Blosc2:

Blosc2 is a high performance data container optimized for binary data. It builds on the shoulders of Blosc, the high performance meta-compressor (https://github.com/Blosc/c-blosc).
Blosc2 expands the capabilities of Blosc by providing a higher lever container that is able to store many chunks on it (hence the super-block name). It supports storing data on both memory and disk using the same API. Also, it adds more compressors and filters.
