Release 1.9.2

Changes from 1.9.1 to 1.9.2

• Internal C-Blosc updated to 1.20.1. This fixes #229, and also brings many new updates in internal codecs, providing interesting bumps in performance in some cases.

• Due to recent addition of more cores in new CPUs, the number of internal threads to be used by default has been increased from 4 to 8.

• Allow zero-copy decompression by allowing bytes-like input. See PR: #230. Thanks to Lehman Garrison.

• Fix DeprecationWarning due to invalid escape sequence and use array.tobytes for Python 3.9.

Release 1.9.1

Changes from 1.9.0 to 1.9.1

• Disable the attempt to include support for SSE2 and AVX2 on non-Intel
  platforms, allowing the build on such platforms (see #244). Thanks
  to Lehman Garrison.

Release 1.9.0

Changes from 1.8.3 to 1.9.0

• Dropped support for Python 2.7 and 3.5.

• Fixed the copy of the leftovers of a chunk when its size is not a
  multiple of the typesize. Although this is a very unusual situation,
  it can certainly happen (e.g.
  #220).
