* 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:
