HDFql version 2.4.0

[HDFql]

We are happy to announce the release of HDFql 2.4.0!

This version includes:

- Added support for user-defined block of data stored within an HDF5 file in a space reserved for this purpose

- Added "LIKE" option in the "SHOW DIRECTORY" and "SHOW FILE" operations

- 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)

- 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)

(Please check the release notes for further details and some examples that illustrate how HDFql works)
