Release notes

Changes from python-blosc2 0.1.10 to python-blosc2 0.2.0

  • Internal C-Blosc updated to 2.0.4.

New super-chunk implementation

  • New SChunk class that allows to create super-chunks.
    This includes the capability of storing data in 4
    different ways (sparse/contiguous and in memory/on-disk),
    as well as storing variable length metalayers.

  • Also, during the contruction of a SChunk instance,
    an arbitrarily large data buffer can be given so that it is
    automatically split in chunks and those are appended to the
    SChunk.

  • See examples/schunk.py and examples/vlmeta.py for some examples.

  • Documentation of the new API is here: https://python-blosc2.readthedocs.io

This release is the result of a grant offered by
the Python Software Foundation to Marta Iborra.
A blog entry was written describing the difficulties and relevant
aspects learned during the work:
