Released on: 2021/08/23
New features:
- Add support for non-cryptographic hashes from the xxhash package. They aren't as safe (but safe enough) and compute in fractions of the time from SHA or MD5. This makes it feasible to use hash checking on large datasets. (#242)
- Add support for using figshare and Zenodo DOIs as URLs (with the protocol
doi:{DOI}/{file name}, which works out-of-the-box withPooch.fetchandretrieve). Can only download 1 file from the archive (not the full archive) and the file name must be specified in the URL. (#241)
Maintenance:
- Move hash functions to their own private module. No changes to the public API. (#244)
- Run CI jobs on Python version extremes instead of all supported versions (#243)
