  • Gzip headers are now actively checked for a BGZF extra field. If found the
    block size is taken into account when decompressing. This has further
    improved bgzf decompression speed by 5% on some files compared to the
    more generic solution of 1.2.0.
  • Integrated CPython 3.11 code for reading gzip headers. This leads to more
    commonality between the python-isal code and the upstream gzip.py code.
    This has enabled the change above. It comes at the cost of a slight increase
    in overhead at the gzip.decompress function.
