* (Windows) Implement support for resolving executable's true location
when launched via a symbolic link. (:issue:`8300`)
* Implement an option to explicitly specify the bytecode optimization level
for collected python code, independent of the optimization level in the
python process under which PyInstaller is running. At the .spec file level,
this is controlled by optional ``optimize`` argument in the ``Analysis``
constructor. At the CLI level, this is controlled by new
:option:`--optimize` command-line option, which sets the ``optimize``
argument for ``Analysis`` as well as :ref:`interpreter run-time options
<specifying python interpreter options>` in the generated spec file.
See :ref:`bytecode optimization level` for details. (:issue:`8252`)
Bugfix
* (macOS) Explicitly convert the value of ``version`` argument to ``BUNDLE``
into a string, in order to mitigate cases when user accidentally enters
an integer or a float. The version value ends up being written to
``Info.plist`` as the ``CFBundleShortVersionString`` entry, and if this
entry is not of a string type (for example, is an integer), the
generated .app bundle crashes at start. (:issue:`4466`)
* (Windows) Avoid trying to import ``PySimpleGUI`` in the subprocess that
analyzes dynamic library search modifications made by packages prior to
the binary dependency analysis. When imported for the first time,
``PySimpleGUI`` 5.x displays a "first-run" dialog, which poses a problem
for unattended PyInstaller builds running in a clean environment, for
example, in a CI pipeline. (:issue:`8396`)
* (Windows) Implement a work-around for running PyInstaller under python
process with ``-OO`` (or ``PYTHONOPTIMIZE=2``) with ``cffi`` installed.
We now temporarily disable import of ``cffi`` while importing
``pywin32-ctypes`` in ``PyInstaller.compat`` to ensure that ``ctypes``
backend is always used, as the ``cffi`` backend uses ``pycparser`` and
requires docstrings, which makes it incompatible with the ``-OO`` mode.
(:issue:`6345`)
Hooks
~~~~~
* Update ``PySide6.Qt3DRender`` hook for compatibility with ``PySide6``
6.7.0 (add hidden import for ``PySide6.QtOpenGL`` module). (:issue:`8404`)
* Update ``scipy.special._ufuncs`` hook for compatibility with SciPy 1.13.0
(add ``scipy.special._cdflib`` to hidden imports). (:issue:`8394`)
