Announcing C-Blosc2 2.17.1

A fast, compressed and persistent binary data store library for C.

What is new?

Several fixes affecting uninitialized memory access and others:

  • Fix uninitialized memory access in newly added unshuffle12_sse2 and unshuffle12_avx2 functions
  • Fix unaligned access in sw32 and sw32
  • Fix DWORD being printed as %s in sprintf call
  • Fix warning on unused variable (since this variable was only being used in the linux branch)
  • splitmode variable was uninitialized if goto was triggered

See PR #658. Many thanks to @EmilDohne for this nice job.

For more info, see the release notes in:

https://github.com/Blosc/c-blosc2/blob/main/RELEASE_NOTES.md

What is it?

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 is the next generation of Blosc, an award-winning (https://www.blosc.org/posts/prize-push-Blosc2)` library that has been around for more than a decade.

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.
