Bugfixes
- v0.8.0 removed the implementation of the
nulldecompressor under the assumption that it was no longer used; it was, however, still used when recompressing an image withnull-compressed blocks. The change to remove the implementation was reverted and a new test case was added. Fixes github #193.
Performance
-
Some more
riceppcompression speed improvements. Also, the universal binaries forx86_64now automatically choose ariceppversion based on CPU capabilities. -
For Windows, there's an experimental
-ricepppackage/binary. This contains a "hybrid" build where thericepplibrary was built usingclangand everything else usingcl. This binary offers significantly fasterriceppcompression. Decompression speeds are similar to the regular package/binary. If you don't care about compressing large amounts of FITS files on Windows, just stick to the regular package/binary.
