0.8.1:
Add #includes so compilation on OS X and BSDs works.
0.8.0:
CompressionParameters now has a estimated_compression_context_size() method. zstd.estimate_compression_context_size() is now deprecated and slated for removal.
Implemented a lot of fuzzing tests.
CompressionParameters instances now perform extra validation by calling ZSTD_checkCParams() at construction time.
multi_compress_to_buffer() API for compressing multiple inputs as a single operation, as efficiently as possible.
ZSTD_CStream instances are now used across multiple operations on ZstdCompressor instances, resulting in much better performance for APIs that do streaming.
ZSTD_DStream instances are now used across multiple operations on ZstdDecompressor instances, resulting in much better performance for APIs that do streaming.
train_dictionary() now releases the GIL.
Support for training dictionaries using the COVER algorithm.
multi_decompress_to_buffer() API for decompressing multiple frames as a single operation, as efficiently as possible.
Support for multi-threaded compression.
Disable deprecation warnings when compiling CFFI module.
Fixed memory leak in train_dictionary().
Removed DictParameters type.
train_dictionary() now accepts keyword arguments instead of a DictParameters instance to control dictionary generation.
Temporarily remove the zstd buildlink as py-zstandard includes
its own version that it wants to use. Future versions will
support using a system supplied zstd but this one doesn't yet.
Also prevent setup.py from picking up cffi by accident so the
PLIST is stable.
This project provides Python bindings for interfacing with the
Zstandard compression library. A C extension and CFFI interface are
provided.
The primary goal of the project is to provide a rich interface to
the underlying C API through a Pythonic interface while not sacrificing
performance. This means exposing most of the features and flexibility
of the C API while not sacrificing usability or safety that Python
provides.
