Release v2.17.1

Changes from 2.17.0 to 2.17.1

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.

Release 2.17.0

Changes from 2.16.0 to 2.17.0

• New b2nd_copy_buffer2() function for copying buffers with typesizes
  larger than 255. The previous b2nd_copy_buffer() function is now
  deprecated and will be removed in a future release.

• Support repeated values larger than 8-bit, also for n-dim arrays.
  This is useful for compressing arrays with large runs of repeated
  values, like in the case of images with large areas of the same color.

• Fix a leak in the pthreads emulation for Windows. Fixes #647.
  Thanks to @jocbeh for the report and fix (#655).

• Update zstd to 1.5.7. Thanks to Tom Birch.

• Add BLOSC2_MAXTYPESIZE constant.

Release 2.16.0

Changes from 2.15.2 to 2.16.0

• Use _fseeki64/_ftelli64/_stat64 on Windows for large file (>2 GB) support.
  Thanks to Abhi Jaiantilal (@ajaiantilal) for the report and help.
• Add 12-byte unshuffle for avx2. Thanks to Tom Birch (@froody).
• Add 12-byte sse2 unshuffle implementation. Thanks to Tom Birch (@froody).
• Better description of the Blosc2 format as a whole.

Release 2.15.2

Changes from 2.15.1 to 2.15.2

• Support wasm32 by disabling ZLIB WITH_OPTIM option. Thanks to Miles Granger.

• Avoid rip-relative addressing for OSX x86_64. Thanks to Miles Granger.

• Added support for nvcc (NVidia Cuda Compiler) in CMake. Thanks to @dqwu.

• Fix public include directories for blosc2 targets. Thanks to Dmitry Mikushin.

• Fix ub in shuffle and unshuffle by marking _dst non-const. Thanks to Emil Dohne.

Release 2.15.1

Changes from 2.15.0 to 2.15.1

• Do not pass -m flags when compiling shuffle.c. This prevents the
  compiler from incidentally optimizing the code called independently
  of the runtime CPU check to these instruction sets, effectively
  causing SIGILL on other CPUs. Fixes #621. Thanks to @t20100 and @mgorny.

• Internal LZ4 sources bumped to 1.10.0.

• Allow direct loading of plugins by name, without relying on
  the presence of python. Thanks to @boxerab.

• Add b2nd_nans method (PR #624). Thanks to @waynegm.

Release 2.15.0

Changes from 2.14.4 to 2.15.0

• Removed some duplicated functions. See #503.

• Added a new io mode to memory map files. This forced to change the io_cb read API.
  See https://github.com/Blosc/c-blosc2/blob/main/tests/test_mmap.c to see an example on
  how to use it.

• Updated the SOVERSION to 4 due to the API change in io_cb read.

• Added functions to get cparams, dparams, storage and io defaults respectively.

• Internal zstd sources updated to 1.5.6.

• Fixed a bug when setting a slice using prefilters.

Release 2.14.4

Changes from 2.14.3 to 2.14.4

• Bumped SONAME due to recent API changes. See #581.

Release 2.14.3

Changes from 2.14.2 to 2.14.3

• More fixes for internal fuzzer.

Release 2.14.2

Changes from 2.14.1 to 2.14.2

• Fixes for CVE-2024-3203 and CVE-2024-3204.

Release 2.14.1

Changes from 2.14.0 to 2.14.1

• When loading plugins, first try with python and then python3.
  This is because many linux distros do not have python as a
  symlink to python3 anymore.
