slow5lib:

  • indexing zlib compressed BLOW5 is made significantly faster using partial decompression
  • improvement to documentation
  • added slow5lib C benchmarks to mirror ONT's Python-only POD5 benchmarks. summary: in hour hands slow5lib C API is a few times more efficient than pod5 c_api (and pyslow5 API obviously). Users are encouraged to run these benchmarks themselves on their systems. We will put the results of a comprehensive benchmark when the POD5 API is stable and mature.

pyslow5: mostly by @Psy-Fer

  • new API calls to pyslow5 to get a batch using multiple threads
  • writing API added (thanks @mattloose for requesting this and experimenting with it)
  • fix some memory leaks in cython side
  • supports optional zstd compression
