📢Blosc2 3.10.2 Released! 📢

Building on the functions introduced in version 3.9, we have extended lazy evaluation to general expressions with ALL blosc2 functions in version 3.10.

Blosc2's compute engine ingests many array formats, as well as blosc2 arrays, with impressive results - see the graphic below!

Blosc2's compute engine also powers Cat2Cloud (visit the demo site here https://cat2.cloud/demo/)!
