Announcing Python-Blosc2 2.2.6

This is a maintenance release, where we have upgraded to latest C-Blosc2 2.10.1. This provides fixes for dynamic plugins and the possibility to run them in multithreading mode (see PR #127).

For more info, you can have a look at the release notes in:

https://github.com/Blosc/python-blosc2/releases

More docs and examples are available in the documentation site:

## What is it?

Python-Blosc2 is a Python package that wraps C-Blosc2, the newest version of the Blosc compressor. Currently Python-Blosc2 already reproduces the API of Python-Blosc (https://github.com/Blosc/python-blosc), so the former can be used as a drop-in replacement for the later. However, there are a few exceptions for full compatibility: https://github.com/Blosc/python-blosc2/blob/main/RELEASE_NOTES.md#changes-from-python-blosc-to-python-blosc2

Python-Blosc2 comes with NDArray support, which is a new Python class that allows to create multi-dimensional arrays of compressed data. NDArray follows the same (or very similar) API as NumPy arrays, so it can be used as a drop-in replacement. See the documentation for more details: https://www.blosc.org/python-blosc2/reference/ndarray_api.html
