Changes in version 1.7                         

  - Added path() method for ZarrArray class that returns the location of
    the zarr array root.

                         Changes in version 1.5                         

  - Fixed bug when creating an empty array with a floating datatype. The
    fill value would be interpreted as an integer by read_metadata() and
    create and array of the wrong type.
  - Fixed bug in update_zarr_array() when NULL was provided to one or
    more dimensions in the index argument. This was parsed incorrectly
    and the underlying zarr was not modified.
  - Fixed bug in reading 64-bit integer arrays compressed with ZLIB or
    LZ4.
    The calculated decompression buffer size was too small and reading
    would fail. (Thanks to Dan Auerbach for the report:
    https://github.com/grimbough/Rarr/issues/10)
  - Added support for the ZarrArray S4 class and the DelayedArray
    framework.
  - Improvements to read and write performance.

                         Changes in version 1.3                         

  - Added support for using the zstd compression library for reading and
    writing.

                         Changes in version 1.1                         

  - Fixed bug when reading an array if the fill value in .zarray was
    null.
  - Addressed bug in makevars where Rarr.so could be compiled before
    libblosc.a was ready. Also backported to Rarr 1.0.2. (Thanks to
    Michael Sumner for reporting this issue:
    https://github.com/grimbough/Rarr/issues/5)
  - Corrected issue where fixed length string datatypes would be written
    with null terminators, resulting in strings that were one byte
    longer than the dtype value written in the .zarray metadata. Also
    backported to Rarr 1.0.3.
  - Added support for reading and writing the fixed length Unicode
    datatype, and for reading variable length UTF-8 datatype.

                       Changes in version 0.99.9                        

  - Response it initial package review (thanks @Kayla-Morrell)
  - Provided manual page examples for use_* compression filter
    functions.
  - Add details of how example data in inst/extdata/zarr_examples was
    created.
  - General code tidying

                       Changes in version 0.99.8                        

  - Patch compression libraries to remove R CMD check warnings about C
    functions that might crash R or write to something other than the R
    console. Working in Linux only.

                       Changes in version 0.99.7                        

  - Allow reading and writing chunks with GZIP compression.
  - Add compression level arguments to several compression tools.

                       Changes in version 0.99.6                        

  - Allow reading and writing chunks with no compression.
  - Enable LZ4 compression for writing.
  - Fix bug in blosc compression that could result in larger chunks than
    necessary.
  - Improve speed of indexing when combining chunks into the final
    output array.

                       Changes in version 0.99.5                        

  - Fixed bug when specifying nested chunks, where the chunk couldn't be
    written unless the directory already existed.

                       Changes in version 0.99.4                        

  - When writing chunks that overlap the array edge, even the undefined
    overhang region should be written to disk.

                       Changes in version 0.99.3                        

  - Allow choice between column and row ordering when creating a Zarr
    array

  - Catch bug when chunk files contain values outside the array extent.
  - Add manual page issues identified by BBS

                       Changes in version 0.99.1                        

  - Switch from aws.s3 to paws.storage for S3 data retrieval.

                       Changes in version 0.99.0                        

  - Initial Bioconductor submission.

                        Changes in version 0.0.1                        

  - Added a NEWS.md file to track changes to the package.
