+- Update to version 1.10.2
+  * (Upstream bumped the version to release their wheels)
+  * Officially drop support for Python < 3.7.  Although we did not 
+    any explicit action that is incompatible with older Python
+    versions, we only provide wheels for Python >= 3.7 (til 3.9).
+- Skip python36 build on TW, because upstream dropped support and
+  numpy follows NEP 29
+- Use the system provided Blosc library
