slow5lib-v0.5.0

slow5lib:

• indexing zlib compressed BLOW5 is made significantly faster using partial decompression
• improvement to documentation
• added slow5lib C benchmarks to mirror ONT's Python-only POD5 benchmarks. summary: in hour hands slow5lib C API is a few times more efficient than pod5 c_api (and pyslow5 API obviously). Users are encouraged to run these benchmarks themselves on their systems. We will put the results of a comprehensive benchmark when the POD5 API is stable and mature.

pyslow5: mostly by @Psy-Fer

• new API calls to pyslow5 to get a batch using multiple threads
• writing API added (thanks @mattloose for requesting this and experimenting with it)
• fix some memory leaks in cython side
• supports optional zstd compression

slow5lib-v0.4.0

• Fast SLOW5 sequential access through an increased fread buffer side
• pyslow5 sequential reading no longer creates an unnecessary index
• pyslow5 pico-ampere conversion is no longer a bottleneck

slow5lib-v0.3.0

• added support for enum auxiliary fields
• svb-zd compression for raw signal added
• zstd record compression
• better error codings and error handling
• minor bug fixes
• max supported slow5file file version is 0.2.0

slow5lib-v0.2.0

• Improved error checking - slow5_errno added with many error codes
• Better internal error checking and code cleanup
• Minor bug fixes

slow5lib-v0.1.0

Very first beta release
