[tahoe-dev] announcing zfec v1.3.1

[zooko]

Folks:

I've uploaded zfec v1.3.1 to the Python Package Index [1], which  
means you can get it with "easy_install zfec", and I've pushed all  
the patches to http://allmydata.org/source/zfec .

One new feature in this release of zfec is a changelog text file  
included in the source tree which summarizes the most important  
changes since the previous release.  (This information is also  
available by using darcs, but the changelog text file lists only the  
most important changes.)

Appended is the contents of the changelog in zfec v1.3.1.

Regards,

Zooko

   * zfec: reorder the inner loop to be more cache-friendly

   Loop over this stride of each input block before looping over all  
strides of
   this input block.  In theory, this should allow the strides of the  
input blocks
   to remain in cache while we produce all of the output blocks.
