<p>We are happy to announce the release of <a href="https://www.hdfql.com">HDFql</a> 2.4.0!</p>
<p>This version includes:</p>
<p>- Added support for user-defined block of data stored within an HDF5 file in a space reserved for this purpose</p>
<p>- Added "LIKE" option in the "SHOW DIRECTORY" and "SHOW FILE" operations</p>
<p>- Added "BY NAME" option in all relevant HDFql operations (to get the result of an operation as a name (i.e. string) instead of a number)</p>
<p>- Improved memory footprint to maintain an open HDF5 file (it now takes ~3 KB to maintain an open file - before it was taking ~30 KB)</p>
<p>(Please check the <a href="https://www.hdfql.com/resources/RELEASE.txt">release notes</a> for further details and some <a href="https://www.hdfql.com/examples">examples</a> that illustrate how HDFql works)</p>
