0.8.0

Changes in this release:

• Added ability to import/export the index, via new import_index and
  export_index methods on the IndexedGzipFile class (#7, #8) - thanks
  @ozars !
• Deprecated SafeIndexedGzipFile - the IndexedGzipFile is now
  thread-safe, and has a read buffer. If you don't want buffering
  or thread-safety, use the _IndexedGzipFile class.
• Fixed bug in seek method - was not working with negative offsets.
• More unit tests, and code coverage of .py and .pyx files.

0.7.1

Changes in this release:

• Added .conda/meta.yaml file for building conda packages

0.7.0

Changes in this release:

• IndexedGzipFile.__init__ has a new option, drop_handles which causes an IndexedGzipFile to close/re-open the underlying file handle on every access (#5, #6). This has no impact on performance (as measured by the new benchmark script, so is enabled by default.
• New simpler benchmark script.
• Deprecated the fid parameter to IndexedGzipFile.__init__ in favour of fileobj - another change to make IndexedGzipFile more similar to gzip.GzipFile.

0.6.1

Changes in this release:

• IndexedGzipFile now has a readinto method.
• SafeIndexedGzipFile is now an io.BufferedReader, which provides thread safety and dramatically improves performance for small files (see discussion at nipy/nibabel#558).
• Fixed issue #4 - the source distribution was missing zran.h.

0.6.0

Changes in this release:

• Preliminary support for Windows platforms (#1, #3) Thanks to @mcraig-ibme and @Trigonometry !
• Added mode attribute to IndexedGzipFile

0.5.1

Changes in this release:

• Unit tests are run on a 32 bit platform
• The indexed_gzip package now has a __version__ attribute

0.5.0

Changes in this release:

• Re-arranged code layout - there is now a top level indexed_gzip package, which contains the indexed_gzip module, and the tests package. Done so that tests can be distributed properly. No API changes though.
• zran_seek input parameter types made more specific due to an issue on 32 bit platforms.

0.4.1

Changes in this release:

• A tiny adjustment to unit test management allowing tests to be run from a different directory

0.4.0

Changes in this release involve modifications and additions to the IndexedGzipFile class to make it look and behave more like the built-in gzip.GzipFile class.

• __init__ accepts filename and mode as its first two parameters
• Changed default values for __init__ parameters to values which have been qualitatively tested
• readline, readlines, __iter__ and __next__ methods added, for iteration over lines in text data
• seek method accepts a whence parameter, and allows seeking from SEEK_SET or SEEK_CUR.

0.3.3

Changes in this release:

• SafeIndexedGzipFile was broken under python 3.
