Release 1.2.1

• C-Blosc internal sources updated to 1.14.3. This basically means that
  internal Zstd sources are bumped to 1.3.4, which may lead to noticeable
  improved speeds (specially for low compression ratios).

• np.datetime64 and other scalar objects that have __getitem__() are now
  supported in _eval_blocks(). PR #377. Thanks to apalepu23.

• Vendored cpuinfo.py updated to 4.0.0 (ARM aarch64 is recognized now).

• Allow setup.py to work even if not on Intel or ARM or PPC archs are found.

Release 1.2.0

• Support for Python <= 2.6 or Python <= 3.4 has been deprecated.

• C-Blosc internal sources updated to 1.14.2. Using a C-Blosc library > 1.14 is important for forward compatibility. For more info see: http://blosc.org/posts/new-forward-compat-policy/

Tagging 1.1.1 release

Changes from 1.1.0 to 1.1.1

• Allow to delete all the columns in a ctable. Fixes #306.

• Double-check the value of a column that is being overwritten. Fixes
  #307.

• Use pkg_resources.parse_version() to test for version of packages.
  Fixes #322.

• Now all the columns in a ctable are enforced to be a carray instance
  in order to simplify the internal logic for handling columns.

• Now, the cparams are preserved during column replacement, e.g.:

  ct['f0'] = x + 1

  will continue to use the same cparams than the original column.

• C-Blosc updated to 1.11.2.

• Added a new defaults_ctx context so that users can select defaults
  easily without changing global behaviour. For example::

  with bcolz.defaults_ctx(vm="python", cparams=bcolz.cparams(clevel=0)):
  cout = bcolz.eval("(x + 1) < 0")

• Fixed a crash occurring in ctable.todataframe() when both columns
  and orient='columns' were specified. PR #311. Thanks to Peter
  Quackenbush.
