Changelog
### 3.0.0
```
==========================
Features added
--------------
* Cython functions now use the `PEP-590`_ vectorcall protocol in Py3.7+.
Patch by Jeroen Demeyer. (Github issue :issue:`2263`)
* Unicode identifiers are supported in Cython code (`PEP-3131`_).
Patch by David Woods. (Github issue :issue:`2601`)
* Unicode module names and imports are supported.
Patch by David Woods. (Github issue :issue:`3119`)
* Annotations are no longer parsed, keeping them as strings following `PEP-563`_.
Patch by David Woods. (Github issue :issue:`3285`)
* Preliminary support for the CPython's ``Py_LIMITED_API`` (stable ABI) is
available by setting the ``CYTHON_LIMITED_API`` C macro. Note that the
support is currently in an early stage and many features do not yet work.
You currently still have to define ``Py_LIMITED_API`` externally in order
to restrict the API usage. This will change when the feature stabilises.
Patches by Eddie Elizondo and David Woods. (Github issues :issue:`3223`,
:issue:`3311`, :issue:`3501`)
* The dispatch to fused functions is now linear in the number of arguments,
which makes it much faster, often 2x or more, and several times faster for
larger fused types with many specialisations.
Patch by will-ca. (Github issue :issue:`1385`)
* ``with gil/nogil`` statements can be conditional based on compile-time
constants, e.g. fused type checks.
Patch by Noam Hershtig. (Github issue :issue:`2579`)
* ``const`` can be used together with fused types.
Patch by Thomas Vincent. (Github issue :issue:`1772`)
* Reimports of already imported modules are substantially faster.
(Github issue :issue:`2854`)
* Positional-only arguments are supported in Python functions (`PEP-570`_).
Patch by Josh Tobin. (Github issue :issue:`2915`)
* The ``volatile`` C modifier is supported in Cython code.
Patch by Jeroen Demeyer. (Github issue :issue:`1667`)
* ``cython.trashcan(True)`` can be used on an extension type to enable the
CPython :ref:`trashcan`. This allows deallocating deeply recursive objects
without overflowing the stack. Patch by Jeroen Demeyer. (Github issue :issue:`2842`)
* Inlined properties can be defined for external extension types.
Patch by Matti Picus. (Github issue :issue:`2640`, redone later in :issue:`3571`)
* The ``str()`` builtin now calls ``PyObject_Str()`` instead of going
through a Python call.
Patch by William Ayd. (Github issue :issue:`3279`)
* String concatenation can now happen in place if possible, by extending the
existing string rather than always creating a new one.
Patch by David Woods. (Github issue :issue:`3453`)
* Multiplication of Python numbers with small constant integers is faster.
(Github issue :issue:`2808`)
* Some list copying is avoided internally when a new list needs to be created
but we already have a fresh one.
(Github issue :issue:`3494`)
* Extension types that do not need their own ``tp_new`` implementation (because
they have no object attributes etc.) directly inherit the implementation of
their parent type if possible.
(Github issue :issue:`1555`)
* The attributes ``gen.gi_frame`` and ``coro.cr_frame`` of Cython compiled
generators and coroutines now return an actual frame object for introspection.
(Github issue :issue:`2306`)
* Several declarations in ``cpython.*``, ``libc.*`` and ``libcpp.*`` were added.
Patches by Jeroen Demeyer, Matthew Edwards, Chris Gyurgyik, Jerome Kieffer
and Zackery Spytz.
(Github issues :issue:`3468`, :issue:`3332`, :issue:`3202`, :issue:`3188`,
:issue:`3179`, :issue:`2891`, :issue:`2826`, :issue:`2713`)
* Deprecated NumPy API usages were removed from ``numpy.pxd``.
Patch by Matti Picus. (Github issue :issue:`3365`)
* ``cython.inline()`` now sets the ``NPY_NO_DEPRECATED_API=NPY_1_7_API_VERSION``
C macro automatically when ``numpy`` is imported in the code, to avoid C compiler
warnings about deprecated NumPy C-API usage.
* The builtin ``abs()`` function can now be used on C numbers in nogil code.
Patch by Elliott Sales de Andrade. (Github issue :issue:`2748`)
* `PEP-479`_ (``generator_stop``) is now enabled by default with language level 3.
(Github issue :issue:`2580`)
* The ``cython.view.array`` type supports inheritance.
Patch by David Woods. (Github issue :issue:`3413`)
* Code annotation accepts a new debugging argument ``--annotate-fullc`` that
will include the complete syntax highlighted C file in the HTML output.
(Github issue :issue:`2855`)
* ``--no-capture`` added to ``runtests.py`` to prevent stdout/stderr capturing
during srctree tests.
Patch by Matti Picus. (Github issue :issue:`2701`)
* ``--no-docstrings`` option added to ``cythonize`` script.
Original patch by mo-han. (Github issue :issue:`2889`)
* ``cygdb`` gives better error messages when it fails to initialise the
Python runtime support in gdb.
Patch by Volker Weissmann. (Github issue :issue:`3489`)
* The Pythran ``shape`` attribute is supported.
Patch by Serge Guelton. (Github issue :issue:`3307`)
Bugs fixed
----------
* The unicode methods ``.upper()``, ``.lower()`` and ``.title()`` were
incorrectly optimised for single character input values and only returned
the first character if multiple characters should have been returned.
They now use the original Python methods again.
* Fused argument types were not correctly handled in type annotations and
``cython.locals()``.
Patch by David Woods. (Github issues :issue:`3391`, :issue:`3142`)
* Diverging from the usual behaviour, ``len(memoryview)``, ``len(char*)``
and ``len(Py_UNICODE*)`` returned an unsigned ``size_t`` value. They now
return a signed ``Py_ssize_t``, like other usages of ``len()``.
* Nested dict literals in function call kwargs could incorrectly raise an
error about duplicate keyword arguments, which are allowed when passing
them from dict literals.
(Github issue :issue:`2963`)
* Item access (subscripting) with integer indices/keys always tried the
Sequence protocol before the Mapping protocol, which diverged from Python
semantics. It now passes through the Mapping protocol first when supported.
(Github issue :issue:`1807`)
* Name lookups in class bodies no longer go through an attribute lookup.
Patch by Jeroen Demeyer. (Github issue :issue:`3100`)
* Broadcast assignments to a multi-dimensional memory view slice could end
up in the wrong places when the underlying memory view is known to be
contiguous but the slice is not.
(Github issue :issue:`2941`)
* Pickling unbound methods of Python classes failed.
Patch by Pierre Glaser. (Github issue :issue:`2972`)
* The ``Py_hash_t`` type failed to accept arbitrary "index" values.
(Github issue :issue:`2752`)
* The first function line number of functions with decorators pointed to the
signature line and not the first decorator line, as in Python.
Patch by Felix Kohlgrüber. (Github issue :issue:`2536`)
* Constant integer expressions that used a negative exponent were evaluated
as integer 0 instead of the expected float value.
Patch by Kryštof Pilnáček. (Github issue :issue:`2133`)
* The ``cython.declare()`` and ``cython.cast()`` functions could fail in pure mode.
Patch by Dmitry Shesterkin. (Github issue :issue:`3244`)
* ``__doc__`` was not available inside of the class body during class creation.
(Github issue :issue:`1635`)
* Setting ``language_level=2`` in a file did not work if ``language_level=3``
was enabled globally before.
Patch by Jeroen Demeyer. (Github issue :issue:`2791`)
* ``__init__.pyx`` files were not always considered as package indicators.
(Github issue :issue:`2665`)
* Compiling package ``__init__`` files could fail under Windows due to an
undefined export symbol. (Github issue :issue:`2968`)
* A C compiler cast warning was resolved.
Patch by Michael Buesch. (Github issue :issue:`2775`)
* Binding staticmethods of Cython functions were not behaving like Python methods.
Patch by Jeroen Demeyer. (Github issue :issue:`3106`, :issue:`3102`)
* Memoryviews failed to compile when the ``cache_builtins`` feature was disabled.
Patch by David Woods. (Github issue :issue:`3406`)
Other changes
-------------
* The default language level was changed to ``3str``, i.e. Python 3 semantics,
but with ``str`` literals (also in Python 2.7). This is a backwards incompatible
change from the previous default of Python 2 semantics. The previous behaviour
is available through the directive ``language_level=2``.
(Github issue :issue:`2565`)
* Cython no longer generates ``__qualname__`` attributes for classes in Python
2.x since they are problematic there and not correctly maintained for subclasses.
Patch by Jeroen Demeyer. (Github issue :issue:`2772`)
* Source file fingerprinting now uses SHA-1 instead of MD5 since the latter
tends to be slower and less widely supported these days.
(Github issue :issue:`2790`)
* The long deprecated include files ``python_*``, ``stdio``, ``stdlib`` and
``stl`` in ``Cython/Includes/Deprecated/`` were removed. Use the ``libc.*``
and ``cpython.*`` pxd modules instead.
Patch by Jeroen Demeyer. (Github issue :issue:`2904`)
* The search order for include files was changed. Previously it was
``include_directories``, ``Cython/Includes``, ``sys.path``. Now it is
``include_directories``, ``sys.path``, ``Cython/Includes``. This was done to
allow third-party ``*.pxd`` files to override the ones in Cython.
Patch by Matti Picus. (Github issue :issue:`2905`)
* The command line parser was rewritten and modernised using ``argparse``.
Patch by Egor Dranischnikow. (Github issue :issue:`2952`, :issue:`3001`)
* Dotted filenames for qualified module names (``pkg.mod.pyx``) are deprecated.
Use the normal Python package directory layout instead.
(Github issue :issue:`2686`)
* Binary Linux wheels now follow the manylinux2010 standard.
Patch by Alexey Stepanov. (Github issue :issue:`3355`)
* Support for Python 2.6 was removed.

```
### 0.29.35
```
====================
Bugs fixed
----------
* A garbage collection enabled subtype of a non-GC extension type could call into the
deallocation function of the super type with GC tracking enabled. This could lead
to crashes during deallocation if GC was triggered on the type at the same time.
(Github issue :issue:`5432`)
* Some C compile failures and crashes in CPython 3.12 were resolved.
* ``except + nogil`` was syntactically not allowed.
``except +nogil`` (i.e. defining a C++ exception handling function called ``nogil``)
is now disallowed to prevent typos.
(Github issue :issue:`5430`)
* A C compile failure in PyPy 3.10 was resolved.
Patch by Matti Picus. (Github issue :issue:`5408`)
* Cython modules now use PEP-489 multi-phase init by default in PyPy 3.9 and later.

Patch by Lisandro Dalcin. (Github issue :issue:`5355`)
```
### 0.29.34
```
====================
Bugs fixed
----------
* A refence leak of the for-loop list/tuple iterable was resolved if the for-loop's
``else:`` branch executes a ``break`` for an outer loop.
(Github issue :issue:`5347`)
* Some C compile failures in CPython 3.12 were resolved.

Patches by Eli Schwartz. (Github issues :issue:`5279`, :issue:`5291`)
```
### 0.29.33
```
====================
Features added
--------------
* The ``cythonize`` and ``cython`` commands have a new option ``-M`` / ``--depfile``
to generate ``.dep`` dependency files for the compilation unit. This can be used
by external build tools to track these dependencies.
The ``cythonize`` option was already available in Cython :ref:`0.29.27`.
Patches by Evgeni Burovski and Eli Schwartz. (Github issue :issue:`1214`)
Bugs fixed
----------
* ``const`` fused types could not be used with memory views.
Patch by Thomas Vincent. (Github issue :issue:`1772`)

(Github issue :issue:`5163`)
* A performance problem in the compiler was resolved when nesting conditional expressions.
(Github issue :issue:`5197`)
* Test suite problems with recent NumPy and CPython versions were resolved.
(Github issues :issue:`5183`, :issue:`5190`)
Other changes
-------------
* The undocumented, untested and apparently useless syntax
``from somemodule cimport class/struct/union somename`` was deprecated
in anticipation of its removal in Cython 3. The type
modifier is not needed here and a plain ``cimport`` of the name will do.
(Github issue :issue:`4905`)
* Properly disable generation of descriptor docstrings on PyPy since they cause crashes.
It was previously disabled, but only accidentally via a typo.
Patch by Matti Picus. (Github issue :issue:`5083`)
* The ``cpow`` directive of Cython 3.0 is available as a no-op.
(Github issue :issue:`5016`)
```

```
====================
Bugs fixed
----------
* Revert "Using memoryview typed arguments in inner functions is now rejected as unsupported."
Patch by David Woods. (Github issue :issue:`4798`)

provide the (one) exact target module name from the command line.
Patch by Matthew Brett and h-vetinari. (Github issue :issue:`4906`)
* A new keyword ``noexcept`` was added for forward compatibility with Cython 3.
Patch by David Woods. (Github issue :issue:`4903`)
Bugs fixed

function when setting up the package path at import-time.
Patch by Matti Picus. (Github issue :issue:`4764`)
* Require the C compiler to support the two-arg form of ``va_start``
on Python 3.10 and higher.

Patch by Sam Gross. (Github issue :issue:`4915`)
* Silence some GCC ``-Wconversion`` warnings in C utility code.
Patch by Lisandro Dalcin. (Github issue :issue:`4854`)
* Tuple multiplication was ignored in expressions such as ``[*(1,) * 2]``.
Patch by David Woods. (Github issue :issue:`4864`)
* Calling ``append`` methods on extension types could fail to find the method
in some cases.
Patch by David Woods. (Github issue :issue:`4828`)
* Ensure that object buffers (e.g. ``ndarray[object, ndim=1]``) containing
``NULL`` pointers are safe to use, returning ``None`` instead of the ``NULL``
pointer.
Patch by Sebastian Berg. (Github issue :issue:`4859`)
* Using memoryview typed arguments in inner functions is now rejected as unsupported.
Patch by David Woods. (Github issue :issue:`4798`)
* Compilation could fail on systems (e.g. FIPS) that block MD5 checksums at runtime.
(Github issue :issue:`4909`)
* Experimental adaptations for the CPython "nogil" fork was added.
Note that there is no official support for this in Cython 0.x.
Patch by Sam Gross. (Github issue :issue:`4912`)
```
### 0.29.30
```
====================
Bugs fixed
----------
* The GIL handling changes in 0.29.29 introduced a regression where
objects could be deallocated without holding the GIL.
(Github issue :issue:`4796`)
```
### 0.29.29
```
====================
Features added
--------------
* Avoid acquiring the GIL at the end of nogil functions.
This change was backported in order to avoid generating wrong C code
that would trigger C compiler warnings with tracing support enabled.
Backport by Oleksandr Pavlyk. (Github issue :issue:`4637`)
Bugs fixed
----------
* Function definitions in ``finally:`` clauses were not correctly generated.
Patch by David Woods. (Github issue :issue:`4651`)

Patch by Jakub Kulík. (Github issue :issue:`4722`)
* Pickles can now be exchanged again with those generated from Cython 3.0 modules.
(Github issue :issue:`4680`)
* Cython now correctly generates Python methods for both the provided regular and
reversed special numeric methods of extension types.
Patch by David Woods. (Github issue :issue:`4750`)
* Calling unbound extension type methods without arguments could raise an
``IndexError`` instead of a ``TypeError``.
Patch by David Woods. (Github issue :issue:`4779`)
* Calling unbound ``.__contains__()`` super class methods on some builtin base
types could trigger an infinite recursion.
Patch by David Woods. (Github issue :issue:`4785`)
* The C union type in pure Python mode mishandled some field names.
Patch by Jordan Brière. (Github issue :issue:`4727`)
* Allow users to overwrite the C macro ``_USE_MATH_DEFINES``.
Patch by Yuriy Chernyshov. (Github issue :issue:`4690`)
* Improved compatibility with CPython 3.10/11.
Patches by Thomas Caswell, David Woods.
(Github issues :issue:`4609`, :issue:`4667`, :issue:`4721`, :issue:`4730`, :issue:`4777`)
* Docstrings of descriptors are now provided in PyPy 7.3.9.
Patch by Matti Picus. (Github issue :issue:`4701`)
```
### 0.29.28
```
====================
Bugs fixed
----------
* Due to backwards incompatible changes in CPython 3.11a4, the feature flags
``CYTHON_FAST_THREAD_STATE`` and ``CYTHON_USE_EXC_INFO_STACK`` are now disabled
in Python 3.11 and later. They are enabled again in Cython 3.0.
Patch by David Woods. (Github issue :issue:`4610`)
* A C compiler warning in older PyPy versions was resolved.
Patch by Matti Picus. (Github issue :issue:`4236`)
```
### 0.29.27
```
====================
Features added
--------------
* The ``cythonize`` command has a new option ``-M`` to generate ``.dep`` dependency
files for the compilation unit. This can be used by external build tools to track
these dependencies.
Patch by Evgeni Burovski. (Github issue :issue:`1214`)
Bugs fixed
----------
* Compilation failures on PyPy were resolved.
Patches by Matti Picus. (Github issues :issue:`4509`, :issue:`4517`)
* Calls to ``range()`` with more than three arguments did not fail.
Original patch by Max Bachmann. (Github issue :issue:`4550`)
* Some C compiler warnings about missing type struct initialisers in Py3.10 were resolved.
* Cython no longer warns about using OpenMP 3.0 features since they are now
considered generally available.
```
### 0.29.26
```
====================
Bugs fixed
----------
* An incompatibility with CPython 3.11.0a3 was resolved.
(Github issue :issue:`4499`)
* The ``in`` operator failed on literal lists with starred expressions.
Patch by Arvind Natarajan. (Github issue :issue:`3938`)

Use memcpy() instead to let the C compiler decide how to do it.
(Github issue :issue:`4343`)
* Cython crashed on invalid truthiness tests on C++ types without ``operator bool``.
Patch by David Woods. (Github issue :issue:`4348`)
* The declaration of ``PyUnicode_CompareWithASCIIString()`` in ``cpython.unicode`` was incorrect.
Patch by Max Bachmann. (Github issue :issue:`4344`)
```
### 0.29.24
```
====================
Bugs fixed
----------
* Inline functions in pxd files that used memory views could lead to invalid
C code if the module that imported from them does not use memory views.
Patch by David Woods. (Github issue :issue:`1415`)
* Several declarations in ``libcpp.string`` were added and corrected.
Patch by Janek Bevendorff. (Github issue :issue:`4268`)
* Pickling unbound Cython compiled methods failed.
Patch by Pierre Glaser. (Github issue :issue:`2972`)
* The tracing code was adapted to work with CPython 3.10.

that were constructed from an external ``wchar_t`` source.
Also, related C compiler warnings about deprecated C-API usage were resolved.
(Github issue :issue:`3925`)
* Some compiler crashes were resolved.
Patch by David Woods. (Github issues :issue:`4214`, :issue:`2811`)
* An incorrect warning about 'unused' generator expressions was removed.
(GIthub issue :issue:`1699`)
* The attributes ``gen.gi_frame`` and ``coro.cr_frame`` of Cython compiled
generators and coroutines now return an actual frame object for introspection,
instead of ``None``.
(Github issue :issue:`2306`)
```
### 0.29.23
```
====================
Bugs fixed
----------
* Some problems with Python 3.10 were resolved.
Patches by Victor Stinner and David Woods. (Github issues :issue:`4046`, :issue:`4100`)
* An incorrect "optimisation" was removed that allowed changes to a keyword
dict to leak into keyword arguments passed into a function.
Patch by Peng Weikang. (Github issue :issue:`3227`)
* Multiplied str constants could end up as bytes constants with language_level=2.
Patch by Alphadelta14 and David Woods. (Github issue :issue:`3951`)
* ``PY_SSIZE_T_CLEAN`` does not get defined any more if it is already defined.
Patch by Andrew Jones. (Github issue :issue:`4104`)
```
### 0.29.22
```
====================
Features added
--------------
* Some declarations were added to the provided pxd includes.
Patches by Zackery Spytz and John Kirkham.
(Github issues :issue:`3811`, :issue:`3882`, :issue:`3899`, :issue:`3901`)
Bugs fixed
----------
* A crash when calling certain functions in Py3.9 and later was resolved.
(Github issue :issue:`3917`)
* ``const`` memory views of structs failed to compile.
(Github issue :issue:`2251`)
* ``const`` template declarations could not be nested.
Patch by Ashwin Srinath. (Github issue :issue:`1355`)
* The declarations in the ``cpython.pycapsule`` module were missing their
``const`` modifiers and generated incorrect C code.
Patch by Warren Weckesser. (Github issue :issue:`3964`)
* Casts to memory views failed for fused dtypes.
Patch by David Woods. (Github issue :issue:`3881`)
* ``repr()`` was assumed to return ``str`` instead of ``unicode`` with ``language_level=3``.
(Github issue :issue:`3736`)
* Calling ``cpdef`` functions from cimported modules crashed the compiler.
Patch by David Woods. (Github issue :issue:`4000`)
* Cython no longer validates the ABI size of the NumPy classes it compiled against.
See the discussion in https://github.com/numpy/numpy/pull/432
* A C compiler warning about enum value casting was resolved in GCC.
(Github issue :issue:`2749`)
* Coverage reporting in the annotated HTML file failed in Py3.9.
Patch by Nick Pope. (Github issue :issue:`3865`)
* The embedding code now reports Python errors as exit status.
* Long type declarations could lead to (harmless) random changes in the
C file when used in auto-generated Python wrappers or pickled classes.
Other changes
-------------
* Variables defined as ``cpdef`` now generate a warning since this
is currently useless and thus does not do what users would expect.
Patch by David Woods. (Github issue :issue:`3959`)
```
### 0.29.21
```
====================
Bugs fixed
----------
* Fix a regression in 0.29.20 where ``__div__`` failed to be found in extension types.
(Github issue :issue:`3688`)
* Fix a regression in 0.29.20 where a call inside of a finally clause could fail to compile.
Patch by David Woods. (Github issue :issue:`3712`)
* Zero-sized buffers could fail to validate as C/Fortran-contiguous.
Patch by Clemens Hofreither. (Github issue :issue:`2093`)
* ``exec()`` did not allow recent Python syntax features in Py3.8+ due to
https://bugs.python.org/issue35975.
(Github issue :issue:`3695`)
* Binding staticmethods of Cython functions were not behaving like Python methods in Py3.
Patch by Jeroen Demeyer and Michał Górny. (Github issue :issue:`3106`)
* Pythran calls to NumPy methods no longer generate useless method lookup code.
* The ``PyUnicode_GET_LENGTH()`` macro was missing from the ``cpython.*`` declarations.
Patch by Thomas Caswell. (Github issue :issue:`3692`)
* The deprecated ``PyUnicode_*()`` C-API functions are no longer used, except for Unicode
strings that contain lone surrogates. Unicode strings that contain non-BMP characters
or surrogate pairs now generate different C code on 16-bit Python 2.x Unicode deployments
(such as MS-Windows). Generating the C code on Python 3.x is recommended in this case.
Original patches by Inada Naoki and Victor Stinner.

(Github issue :issue:`3603`)
* Memory view slicing generated unused error handling code which could negatively
impact the C compiler optimisations for parallel OpenMP code etc. Also, it is
now helped by static branch hints.
(Github issue :issue:`2987`)
* Cython's built-in OpenMP functions were not translated inside of call arguments.
Original patch by Celelibi and David Woods. (Github issue :issue:`3594`)

additional command line arguments leaked into the regular command.
Patch by Kamekameha. (Github issue :issue:`2209`)
* When using the ``CYTHON_NO_PYINIT_EXPORT`` option in C++, the module init function
was not declared as ``extern "C"``.
(Github issue :issue:`3414`)

(Github issue :issue:`3545`)
* Unused C-tuples could generate incorrect code in 0.29.16.
Patch by Kirk Meyer. (Github issue :issue:`3543`)
* Creating a fused function attached it to the garbage collector before it
was fully initialised, thus risking crashes in rare failure cases.
Original patch by achernomorov. (Github issue :issue:`3215`)
* Temporary buffer indexing variables were not released and could show up in
C compiler warnings, e.g. in generators.
Patch by David Woods. (Github issues :issue:`3430`, :issue:`3522`)

Patch by Sebastian Berg. (Github issue :issue:`3022`)
* The search order for include files was changed. Previously it was
``include_directories``, ``Cython/Includes``, ``sys.path``. Now it is
``include_directories``, ``sys.path``, ``Cython/Includes``. This was done to
allow third-party ``*.pxd`` files to override the ones in Cython.
Original patch by Matti Picus. (Github issue :issue:`2905`)
* Setting ``language_level=2`` in a file did not work if ``language_level=3``
was enabled globally before.

(Github issue :issue:`2670`)
* Cython no longer requires the source to be writable when copying its data
into a memory view slice.
Patch by Andrey Paramonov. (Github issue :issue:`2644`)
* Line tracing of ``try``-statements generated invalid C code.
(Github issue :issue:`2274`)
* When using the ``warn.undeclared`` directive, Cython's own code generated
warnings that are now fixed.
Patch by Nicolas Pauss. (Github issue :issue:`2685`)
* Cython's memoryviews no longer require strides for setting the shape field
but only the ``PyBUF_ND`` flag to be set.

Patch by Kryštof Pilnáček. (Github issue :issue:`2638`)
* A struct field type in the ``cpython.array`` declarations was corrected.
Patch by John Kirkham. (Github issue :issue:`2712`)
```
### 0.29
```
=================
Features added
--------------
* PEP-489 multi-phase module initialisation has been enabled again. Module
reloads in other subinterpreters raise an exception to prevent corruption
of the static module state.
* A set of ``mypy`` compatible PEP-484 declarations were added for Cython's C data
types to integrate with static analysers in typed Python code. They are available
in the ``Cython/Shadow.pyi`` module and describe the types in the special ``cython``
module that can be used for typing in Python code.
Original patch by Julian Gethmann. (Github issue :issue:`1965`)
* Memoryviews are supported in PEP-484/526 style type declarations.
(Github issue :issue:`2529`)
* ``cython.nogil`` is supported as a C-function decorator in Python code.
(Github issue :issue:`2557`)
* Raising exceptions from nogil code will automatically acquire the GIL, instead
of requiring an explicit ``with gil`` block.
* C++ functions can now be declared as potentially raising both C++ and Python
exceptions, so that Cython can handle both correctly.
(Github issue :issue:`2615`)
* ``cython.inline()`` supports a direct ``language_level`` keyword argument that
was previously only available via a directive.
* A new language level name ``3str`` was added that mostly corresponds to language
level 3, but keeps unprefixed string literals as type 'str' in both Py2 and Py3,
and the builtin 'str' type unchanged. This will become the default in the next
Cython release and is meant to help user code a) transition more easily to this
new default and b) migrate to Python 3 source code semantics without making support
for Python 2.x difficult.
* In CPython 3.6 and later, looking up globals in the module dict is almost
as fast as looking up C globals.
(Github issue :issue:`2313`)
* For a Python subclass of an extension type, repeated method calls to non-overridden
cpdef methods can avoid the attribute lookup in Py3.6+, which makes them 4x faster.
(Github issue :issue:`2313`)
* (In-)equality comparisons of objects to integer literals are faster.
(Github issue :issue:`2188`)
* Some internal and 1-argument method calls are faster.
* Modules that cimport many external extension types from other Cython modules
execute less import requests during module initialisation.
* Constant tuples and slices are deduplicated and only created once per module.
(Github issue :issue:`2292`)
* The coverage plugin considers more C file extensions such as ``.cc`` and ``.cxx``.
(Github issue :issue:`2266`)
* The ``cythonize`` command accepts compile time variable values (as set by ``DEF``)
through the new ``-E`` option.
Patch by Jerome Kieffer. (Github issue :issue:`2315`)
* ``pyximport`` can import from namespace packages.
Patch by Prakhar Goel. (Github issue :issue:`2294`)
* Some missing numpy and CPython C-API declarations were added.
Patch by John Kirkham. (Github issues :issue:`2523`, :issue:`2520`, :issue:`2537`)
* Declarations for the ``pylifecycle`` C-API functions were added in a new .pxd file
``cpython.pylifecycle``.
* The Pythran support was updated to work with the latest Pythran 0.8.7.
Original patch by Adrien Guinet. (Github issue :issue:`2600`)
* ``%a`` is included in the string formatting types that are optimised into f-strings.
In this case, it is also automatically mapped to ``%r`` in Python 2.x.
* New C macro ``CYTHON_HEX_VERSION`` to access Cython's version in the same style as
``PY_VERSION_HEX``.
* Constants in ``libc.math`` are now declared as ``const`` to simplify their handling.
* An additional ``check_size`` clause was added to the ``ctypedef class`` name
specification to allow suppressing warnings when importing modules with
backwards-compatible ``PyTypeObject`` size changes.
Patch by Matti Picus. (Github issue :issue:`2627`)
Bugs fixed
----------
* The exception handling in generators and coroutines under CPython 3.7 was adapted
to the newly introduced exception stack. Users of Cython 0.28 who want to support
Python 3.7 are encouraged to upgrade to 0.29 to avoid potentially incorrect error
reporting and tracebacks. (Github issue :issue:`1958`)
* Crash when importing a module under Stackless Python that was built for CPython.
Patch by Anselm Kruis. (Github issue :issue:`2534`)
* 2-value slicing of typed sequences failed if the start or stop index was None.
Patch by Christian Gibson. (Github issue :issue:`2508`)
* Multiplied string literals lost their factor when they are part of another
constant expression (e.g. 'x' * 10 + 'y' => 'xy').
* String formatting with the '%' operator didn't call the special ``__rmod__()``
method if the right side is a string subclass that implements it.
(Python issue 28598)
* The directive ``language_level=3`` did not apply to the first token in the
source file. (Github issue :issue:`2230`)
* Overriding cpdef methods did not work in Python subclasses with slots.
Note that this can have a performance impact on calls from Cython code.
(Github issue :issue:`1771`)
* Fix declarations of builtin or C types using strings in pure python mode.
(Github issue :issue:`2046`)
* Generator expressions and lambdas failed to compile in ``cfunc`` functions.
(Github issue :issue:`459`)
* Global names with ``const`` types were not excluded from star-import assignments
which could lead to invalid C code.
(Github issue :issue:`2621`)
* Several internal function signatures were fixed that lead to warnings in gcc-8.
(Github issue :issue:`2363`)
* The numpy helper functions ``set_array_base()`` and ``get_array_base()``
were adapted to the current numpy C-API recommendations.
Patch by Matti Picus. (Github issue :issue:`2528`)
* Some NumPy related code was updated to avoid deprecated API usage.
Original patch by jbrockmendel. (Github issue :issue:`2559`)
* Several C++ STL declarations were extended and corrected.
Patch by Valentin Valls. (Github issue :issue:`2207`)
* C lines of the module init function were unconditionally not reported in
exception stack traces.
Patch by Jeroen Demeyer. (Github issue :issue:`2492`)
* When PEP-489 support is enabled, reloading the module overwrote any static
module state. It now raises an exception instead, given that reloading is
not actually supported.
* Object-returning, C++ exception throwing functions were not checking that
the return value was non-null.
Original patch by Matt Wozniski (Github issue :issue:`2603`)
* The source file encoding detection could get confused if the
``c_string_encoding`` directive appeared within the first two lines.
(Github issue :issue:`2632`)
* Cython generated modules no longer emit a warning during import when the
size of the NumPy array type is larger than what was found at compile time.
Instead, this is assumed to be a backwards compatible change on NumPy side.
Other changes
-------------
* Cython now emits a warning when no ``language_level`` (2, 3 or '3str') is set
explicitly, neither as a ``cythonize()`` option nor as a compiler directive.
This is meant to prepare the transition of the default language level from
currently Py2 to Py3, since that is what most new users will expect these days.
The future default will, however, not enforce unicode literals, because this
has proven a major obstacle in the support for both Python 2.x and 3.x. The
next major release is intended to make this change, so that it will parse all
code that does not request a specific language level as Python 3 code, but with
``str`` literals. The language level 2 will continue to be supported for an
indefinite time.
* The documentation was restructured, cleaned up and examples are now tested.
The NumPy tutorial was also rewritten to simplify the running example.
Contributed by Gabriel de Marmiesse. (Github issue :issue:`2245`)
* Cython compiles less of its own modules at build time to reduce the installed
package size to about half of its previous size. This makes the compiler
slightly slower, by about 5-7%.
```

```
### 0.28.4
```
===================

``libcpp.string``. Patch by Alex Huszagh. (Github issue :issue:`2123`)
* The C++11 methods ``reserve()`` and ``bucket_count()`` are declared for
``libcpp.unordered_map``. Patch by Valentin Valls. (Github issue :issue:`2168`)
Bugs fixed
----------
* The copy of a read-only memoryview was considered read-only as well, whereas
a common reason to copy a read-only view is to make it writable. The result
of the copying is now a writable buffer by default.
(Github issue :issue:`2134`)
* The ``switch`` statement generation failed to apply recursively to the body of
converted if-statements.
* ``NULL`` was sometimes rejected as exception return value when the returned
type is a fused pointer type.
Patch by Callie LeFave. (Github issue :issue:`2177`)
* Fixed compatibility with PyPy 5.11.
Patch by Matti Picus. (Github issue :issue:`2165`)
Other changes
-------------
* The NumPy tutorial was rewritten to use memoryviews instead of the older
buffer declaration syntax.

### 0.28.1
```
===================
Bugs fixed
----------
* ``PyFrozenSet_New()`` was accidentally used in PyPy where it is missing
from the C-API.
* Assignment between some C++ templated types were incorrectly rejected
when the templates mix ``const`` with ``ctypedef``.
(Github issue :issue:`2148`)
* Undeclared C++ no-args constructors in subclasses could make the compilation
fail if the base class constructor was declared without ``nogil``.
(Github issue :issue:`2157`)
* Bytes %-formatting inferred ``basestring`` (bytes or unicode) as result type
in some cases where ``bytes`` would have been safe to infer.
(Github issue :issue:`2153`)
* ``None`` was accidentally disallowed as typed return value of ``dict.pop()``.
(Github issue :issue:`2152`)
```
### 0.28
```
=================
Features added
--------------
* Cdef classes can now multiply inherit from ordinary Python classes.
(The primary base must still be a c class, possibly ``object``, and
the other bases must *not* be cdef classes.)
* Type inference is now supported for Pythran compiled NumPy expressions.
Patch by Nils Braun. (Github issue :issue:`1954`)
* The ``const`` modifier can be applied to memoryview declarations to allow
read-only buffers as input. (Github issues :issue:`1605`, :issue:`1869`)
* C code in the docstring of a ``cdef extern`` block is copied verbatimly
into the generated file.
Patch by Jeroen Demeyer. (Github issue :issue:`1915`)
* When compiling with gcc, the module init function is now tuned for small
code size instead of whatever compile flags were provided externally.
Cython now also disables some code intensive optimisations in that function
to further reduce the code size. (Github issue :issue:`2102`)
* Decorating an async coroutine with ``cython.iterable_coroutine`` changes its
type at compile time to make it iterable. While this is not strictly in line
with PEP-492, it improves the interoperability with old-style coroutines that
use ``yield from`` instead of ``await``.
* The IPython magic has preliminary support for JupyterLab.
(Github issue :issue:`1775`)
* The new TSS C-API in CPython 3.7 is supported and has been backported.
Patch by Naotoshi Seo. (Github issue :issue:`1932`)
* Cython knows the new ``Py_tss_t`` type defined in PEP-539 and automatically
initialises variables declared with that type to ``Py_tss_NEEDS_INIT``,
a value which cannot be used outside of static assignments.
* The set methods ``.remove()`` and ``.discard()`` are optimised.
Patch by Antoine Pitrou. (Github issue :issue:`2042`)
* ``dict.pop()`` is optimised.
Original patch by Antoine Pitrou. (Github issue :issue:`2047`)
* Iteration over sets and frozensets is optimised.
(Github issue :issue:`2048`)
* Safe integer loops (< range(2^30)) are automatically optimised into C loops.
* ``alist.extend([a,b,c])`` is optimised into sequential ``list.append()`` calls
for short literal sequences.
* Calls to builtin methods that are not specifically optimised into C-API calls
now use a cache that avoids repeated lookups of the underlying C function.
(Github issue :issue:`2054`)
* Single argument function calls can avoid the argument tuple creation in some cases.
* Some redundant extension type checks are avoided.
* Formatting C enum values in f-strings is faster, as well as some other special cases.
* String formatting with the '%' operator is optimised into f-strings in simple cases.
* Subscripting (item access) is faster in some cases.
* Some ``bytearray`` operations have been optimised similar to ``bytes``.
* Some PEP-484/526 container type declarations are now considered for
loop optimisations.
* Indexing into memoryview slices with ``view[i][j]`` is now optimised into
``view[i, j]``.
* Python compatible ``cython.*`` types can now be mixed with type declarations
in Cython syntax.
* Name lookups in the module and in classes are faster.
* Python attribute lookups on extension types without instance dict are faster.
* Some missing signals were added to ``libc/signal.pxd``.
Patch by Jeroen Demeyer. (Github issue :issue:`1914`)
* The warning about repeated extern declarations is now visible by default.
(Github issue :issue:`1874`)
* The exception handling of the function types used by CPython's type slot
functions was corrected to match the de-facto standard behaviour, so that
code that uses them directly benefits from automatic and correct exception
propagation. Patch by Jeroen Demeyer. (Github issue :issue:`1980`)
* Defining the macro ``CYTHON_NO_PYINIT_EXPORT`` will prevent the module init
function from being exported as symbol, e.g. when linking modules statically
in an embedding setup. Patch by AraHaan. (Github issue :issue:`1944`)
Bugs fixed
----------
* If a module name is explicitly provided for an ``Extension()`` that is compiled
via ``cythonize()``, it was previously ignored and replaced by the source file
name. It can now be used to override the target module name, e.g. for compiling
prefixed accelerator modules from Python files. (Github issue :issue:`2038`)
* The arguments of the ``num_threads`` parameter of parallel sections
were not sufficiently validated and could lead to invalid C code.
(Github issue :issue:`1957`)
* Catching exceptions with a non-trivial exception pattern could call into
CPython with a live exception set. This triggered incorrect behaviour
and crashes, especially in CPython 3.7.
* The signature of the special ``__richcmp__()`` method was corrected to recognise
the type of the first argument as ``self``. It was previously treated as plain
object, but CPython actually guarantees that it always has the correct type.
Note: this can change the semantics of user code that previously relied on
``self`` being untyped.
* Some Python 3 exceptions were not recognised as builtins when running Cython
under Python 2.
* Some async helper functions were not defined in the generated C code when
compiling simple async code. (Github issue :issue:`2075`)
* Line tracing did not include generators and coroutines.
(Github issue :issue:`1949`)
* C++ declarations for ``unordered_map`` were corrected.
Patch by Michael Schatzow. (Github issue :issue:`1484`)
* Iterator declarations in C++ ``deque`` and ``vector`` were corrected.
Patch by Alex Huszagh. (Github issue :issue:`1870`)
* The const modifiers in the C++ ``string`` declarations were corrected, together
with the coercion behaviour of string literals into C++ strings.
(Github issue :issue:`2132`)
* Some declaration types in ``libc.limits`` were corrected.
Patch by Jeroen Demeyer. (Github issue :issue:`2016`)
* ``cython.final`` was not accepted on Python classes with an ``cython.cclass``
decorator. (Github issue :issue:`2040`)
* Cython no longer creates useless and incorrect ``PyInstanceMethod`` wrappers for
methods in Python 3. Patch by Jeroen Demeyer. (Github issue :issue:`2105`)
* The builtin ``bytearray`` type could not be used as base type of cdef classes.
(Github issue :issue:`2106`)

```
### 0.27.3
```
===================
Bugs fixed
----------
* String forward references to extension types like ``cython.locals(x="ExtType")``
failed to find the named type. (Github issue :issue:`1962`)
* NumPy slicing generated incorrect results when compiled with Pythran.
Original patch by Serge Guelton (Github issue :issue:`1946`).
* Fix "undefined reference" linker error for generators on Windows in Py3.3-3.5.
(Github issue :issue:`1968`)
* Adapt to recent C-API change of ``PyThreadState`` in CPython 3.7.
* Fix signature of ``PyWeakref_GetObject()`` API declaration.

This PR updates Cython from 0.24 to 3.0.0.
Changelog
### 3.0.0 ``` ========================== Features added -------------- * Cython functions now use the `PEP-590`_ vectorcall protocol in Py3.7+. Patch by Jeroen Demeyer. (Github issue :issue:`2263`) * Unicode identifiers are supported in Cython code (`PEP-3131`_). Patch by David Woods. (Github issue :issue:`2601`) * Unicode module names and imports are supported. Patch by David Woods. (Github issue :issue:`3119`) * Annotations are no longer parsed, keeping them as strings following `PEP-563`_. Patch by David Woods. (Github issue :issue:`3285`) * Preliminary support for the CPython's ``Py_LIMITED_API`` (stable ABI) is available by setting the ``CYTHON_LIMITED_API`` C macro. Note that the support is currently in an early stage and many features do not yet work. You currently still have to define ``Py_LIMITED_API`` externally in order to restrict the API usage. This will change when the feature stabilises. Patches by Eddie Elizondo and David Woods. (Github issues :issue:`3223`, :issue:`3311`, :issue:`3501`) * The dispatch to fused functions is now linear in the number of arguments, which makes it much faster, often 2x or more, and several times faster for larger fused types with many specialisations. Patch by will-ca. (Github issue :issue:`1385`) * ``with gil/nogil`` statements can be conditional based on compile-time constants, e.g. fused type checks. Patch by Noam Hershtig. (Github issue :issue:`2579`) * ``const`` can be used together with fused types. Patch by Thomas Vincent. (Github issue :issue:`1772`) * Reimports of already imported modules are substantially faster. (Github issue :issue:`2854`) * Positional-only arguments are supported in Python functions (`PEP-570`_). Patch by Josh Tobin. (Github issue :issue:`2915`) * The ``volatile`` C modifier is supported in Cython code. Patch by Jeroen Demeyer. (Github issue :issue:`1667`) * ``cython.trashcan(True)`` can be used on an extension type to enable the CPython :ref:`trashcan`. This allows deallocating deeply recursive objects without overflowing the stack. Patch by Jeroen Demeyer. (Github issue :issue:`2842`) * Inlined properties can be defined for external extension types. Patch by Matti Picus. (Github issue :issue:`2640`, redone later in :issue:`3571`) * The ``str()`` builtin now calls ``PyObject_Str()`` instead of going through a Python call. Patch by William Ayd. (Github issue :issue:`3279`) * String concatenation can now happen in place if possible, by extending the existing string rather than always creating a new one. Patch by David Woods. (Github issue :issue:`3453`) * Multiplication of Python numbers with small constant integers is faster. (Github issue :issue:`2808`) * Some list copying is avoided internally when a new list needs to be created but we already have a fresh one. (Github issue :issue:`3494`) * Extension types that do not need their own ``tp_new`` implementation (because they have no object attributes etc.) directly inherit the implementation of their parent type if possible. (Github issue :issue:`1555`) * The attributes ``gen.gi_frame`` and ``coro.cr_frame`` of Cython compiled generators and coroutines now return an actual frame object for introspection. (Github issue :issue:`2306`) * Several declarations in ``cpython.*``, ``libc.*`` and ``libcpp.*`` were added. Patches by Jeroen Demeyer, Matthew Edwards, Chris Gyurgyik, Jerome Kieffer and Zackery Spytz. (Github issues :issue:`3468`, :issue:`3332`, :issue:`3202`, :issue:`3188`, :issue:`3179`, :issue:`2891`, :issue:`2826`, :issue:`2713`) * Deprecated NumPy API usages were removed from ``numpy.pxd``. Patch by Matti Picus. (Github issue :issue:`3365`) * ``cython.inline()`` now sets the ``NPY_NO_DEPRECATED_API=NPY_1_7_API_VERSION`` C macro automatically when ``numpy`` is imported in the code, to avoid C compiler warnings about deprecated NumPy C-API usage. * The builtin ``abs()`` function can now be used on C numbers in nogil code. Patch by Elliott Sales de Andrade. (Github issue :issue:`2748`) * `PEP-479`_ (``generator_stop``) is now enabled by default with language level 3. (Github issue :issue:`2580`) * The ``cython.view.array`` type supports inheritance. Patch by David Woods. (Github issue :issue:`3413`) * Code annotation accepts a new debugging argument ``--annotate-fullc`` that will include the complete syntax highlighted C file in the HTML output. (Github issue :issue:`2855`) * ``--no-capture`` added to ``runtests.py`` to prevent stdout/stderr capturing during srctree tests. Patch by Matti Picus. (Github issue :issue:`2701`) * ``--no-docstrings`` option added to ``cythonize`` script. Original patch by mo-han. (Github issue :issue:`2889`) * ``cygdb`` gives better error messages when it fails to initialise the Python runtime support in gdb. Patch by Volker Weissmann. (Github issue :issue:`3489`) * The Pythran ``shape`` attribute is supported. Patch by Serge Guelton. (Github issue :issue:`3307`) Bugs fixed ---------- * The unicode methods ``.upper()``, ``.lower()`` and ``.title()`` were incorrectly optimised for single character input values and only returned the first character if multiple characters should have been returned. They now use the original Python methods again. * Fused argument types were not correctly handled in type annotations and ``cython.locals()``. Patch by David Woods. (Github issues :issue:`3391`, :issue:`3142`) * Diverging from the usual behaviour, ``len(memoryview)``, ``len(char*)`` and ``len(Py_UNICODE*)`` returned an unsigned ``size_t`` value. They now return a signed ``Py_ssize_t``, like other usages of ``len()``. * Nested dict literals in function call kwargs could incorrectly raise an error about duplicate keyword arguments, which are allowed when passing them from dict literals. (Github issue :issue:`2963`) * Item access (subscripting) with integer indices/keys always tried the Sequence protocol before the Mapping protocol, which diverged from Python semantics. It now passes through the Mapping protocol first when supported. (Github issue :issue:`1807`) * Name lookups in class bodies no longer go through an attribute lookup. Patch by Jeroen Demeyer. (Github issue :issue:`3100`) * Broadcast assignments to a multi-dimensional memory view slice could end up in the wrong places when the underlying memory view is known to be contiguous but the slice is not. (Github issue :issue:`2941`) * Pickling unbound methods of Python classes failed. Patch by Pierre Glaser. (Github issue :issue:`2972`) * The ``Py_hash_t`` type failed to accept arbitrary "index" values. (Github issue :issue:`2752`) * The first function line number of functions with decorators pointed to the signature line and not the first decorator line, as in Python. Patch by Felix Kohlgrüber. (Github issue :issue:`2536`) * Constant integer expressions that used a negative exponent were evaluated as integer 0 instead of the expected float value. Patch by Kryštof Pilnáček. (Github issue :issue:`2133`) * The ``cython.declare()`` and ``cython.cast()`` functions could fail in pure mode. Patch by Dmitry Shesterkin. (Github issue :issue:`3244`) * ``__doc__`` was not available inside of the class body during class creation. (Github issue :issue:`1635`) * Setting ``language_level=2`` in a file did not work if ``language_level=3`` was enabled globally before. Patch by Jeroen Demeyer. (Github issue :issue:`2791`) * ``__init__.pyx`` files were not always considered as package indicators. (Github issue :issue:`2665`) * Compiling package ``__init__`` files could fail under Windows due to an undefined export symbol. (Github issue :issue:`2968`) * A C compiler cast warning was resolved. Patch by Michael Buesch. (Github issue :issue:`2775`) * Binding staticmethods of Cython functions were not behaving like Python methods. Patch by Jeroen Demeyer. (Github issue :issue:`3106`, :issue:`3102`) * Memoryviews failed to compile when the ``cache_builtins`` feature was disabled. Patch by David Woods. (Github issue :issue:`3406`) Other changes ------------- * The default language level was changed to ``3str``, i.e. Python 3 semantics, but with ``str`` literals (also in Python 2.7). This is a backwards incompatible change from the previous default of Python 2 semantics. The previous behaviour is available through the directive ``language_level=2``. (Github issue :issue:`2565`) * Cython no longer generates ``__qualname__`` attributes for classes in Python 2.x since they are problematic there and not correctly maintained for subclasses. Patch by Jeroen Demeyer. (Github issue :issue:`2772`) * Source file fingerprinting now uses SHA-1 instead of MD5 since the latter tends to be slower and less widely supported these days. (Github issue :issue:`2790`) * The long deprecated include files ``python_*``, ``stdio``, ``stdlib`` and ``stl`` in ``Cython/Includes/Deprecated/`` were removed. Use the ``libc.*`` and ``cpython.*`` pxd modules instead. Patch by Jeroen Demeyer. (Github issue :issue:`2904`) * The search order for include files was changed. Previously it was ``include_directories``, ``Cython/Includes``, ``sys.path``. Now it is ``include_directories``, ``sys.path``, ``Cython/Includes``. This was done to allow third-party ``*.pxd`` files to override the ones in Cython. Patch by Matti Picus. (Github issue :issue:`2905`) * The command line parser was rewritten and modernised using ``argparse``. Patch by Egor Dranischnikow. (Github issue :issue:`2952`, :issue:`3001`) * Dotted filenames for qualified module names (``pkg.mod.pyx``) are deprecated. Use the normal Python package directory layout instead. (Github issue :issue:`2686`) * Binary Linux wheels now follow the manylinux2010 standard. Patch by Alexey Stepanov. (Github issue :issue:`3355`) * Support for Python 2.6 was removed. .. _`PEP-560`: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0560 .. _`PEP-570`: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0570 .. _`PEP-487`: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0487 .. _`PEP-590`: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0590 .. _`PEP-3131`: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3131 .. _`PEP-563`: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0563 .. _`PEP-479`: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0479 ``` ### 0.29.36 ``` ==================== Bugs fixed ---------- * Async generators lost their return value in PyPy. (Github issue :issue:`5465`) * The outdated C macro ``_PyGC_FINALIZED()`` is no longer used in Py3.9+. * The deprecated ``Py_OptimizeFlag`` is no longer used in Python 3.9+. (Github issue :issue:`5343`) * Using the global ``__debug__`` variable but not assertions could lead to compile errors. * The broken HTML template support was removed from Tempita. (Github issue :issue:`3309`) ``` ### 0.29.35 ``` ==================== Bugs fixed ---------- * A garbage collection enabled subtype of a non-GC extension type could call into the deallocation function of the super type with GC tracking enabled. This could lead to crashes during deallocation if GC was triggered on the type at the same time. (Github issue :issue:`5432`) * Some C compile failures and crashes in CPython 3.12 were resolved. * ``except + nogil`` was syntactically not allowed. ``except +nogil`` (i.e. defining a C++ exception handling function called ``nogil``) is now disallowed to prevent typos. (Github issue :issue:`5430`) * A C compile failure in PyPy 3.10 was resolved. Patch by Matti Picus. (Github issue :issue:`5408`) * Cython modules now use PEP-489 multi-phase init by default in PyPy 3.9 and later. Original patch by Matti Picus. (Github issue :issue:`5413`) * API header files generated by different Cython versions can now be included in the same C file. (Github issue :issue:`5383`) * Function signatures containing a type like `tuple[()]` could not be printed. Patch by Lisandro Dalcin. (Github issue :issue:`5355`) ``` ### 0.29.34 ``` ==================== Bugs fixed ---------- * A refence leak of the for-loop list/tuple iterable was resolved if the for-loop's ``else:`` branch executes a ``break`` for an outer loop. (Github issue :issue:`5347`) * Some C compile failures in CPython 3.12 were resolved. * Some old usages of the deprecated Python ``imp`` module were replaced with ``importlib``. Patch by Matúš Valo. (Github issue :issue:`5300`) * Some issues with ``depfile`` generation were resolved. Patches by Eli Schwartz. (Github issues :issue:`5279`, :issue:`5291`) ``` ### 0.29.33 ``` ==================== Features added -------------- * The ``cythonize`` and ``cython`` commands have a new option ``-M`` / ``--depfile`` to generate ``.dep`` dependency files for the compilation unit. This can be used by external build tools to track these dependencies. The ``cythonize`` option was already available in Cython :ref:`0.29.27`. Patches by Evgeni Burovski and Eli Schwartz. (Github issue :issue:`1214`) Bugs fixed ---------- * ``const`` fused types could not be used with memory views. Patch by Thomas Vincent. (Github issue :issue:`1772`) * ``wstr`` usage was removed in Python 3.12 and later (PEP-623). (Github issue :issue:`5145`) * A type check assertion for Cython functions failed in debug Python builds. (Github issue :issue:`5031`) * Fixed various compiler warnings. Patches by Lisandro Dalcin et al. (Github issues :issue:`4948`, :issue:`5086`) * Fixed error when calculating complex powers of negative numbers. (Github issue :issue:`5014`) * Corrected a small mis-formatting of exception messages on Python 2. (Github issue :issue:`5018`) * The ``PyUnicode_AsUTF8AndSize()`` C-API function was missing from the CPython declarations. (Github issue :issue:`5163`) * A performance problem in the compiler was resolved when nesting conditional expressions. (Github issue :issue:`5197`) * Test suite problems with recent NumPy and CPython versions were resolved. (Github issues :issue:`5183`, :issue:`5190`) Other changes ------------- * The undocumented, untested and apparently useless syntax ``from somemodule cimport class/struct/union somename`` was deprecated in anticipation of its removal in Cython 3. The type modifier is not needed here and a plain ``cimport`` of the name will do. (Github issue :issue:`4905`) * Properly disable generation of descriptor docstrings on PyPy since they cause crashes. It was previously disabled, but only accidentally via a typo. Patch by Matti Picus. (Github issue :issue:`5083`) * The ``cpow`` directive of Cython 3.0 is available as a no-op. (Github issue :issue:`5016`) ``` ### 0.29.32 ``` ==================== Bugs fixed ---------- * Revert "Using memoryview typed arguments in inner functions is now rejected as unsupported." Patch by David Woods. (Github issue :issue:`4798`) * ``from module import *`` failed in 0.29.31 when using memoryviews. Patch by David Woods. (Github issue :issue:`4927`) ``` ### 0.29.31 ``` ==================== Features added -------------- * A new argument ``--module-name`` was added to the ``cython`` command to provide the (one) exact target module name from the command line. Patch by Matthew Brett and h-vetinari. (Github issue :issue:`4906`) * A new keyword ``noexcept`` was added for forward compatibility with Cython 3. Patch by David Woods. (Github issue :issue:`4903`) Bugs fixed ---------- * Use ``importlib.util.find_spec()`` instead of the deprecated ``importlib.find_loader()`` function when setting up the package path at import-time. Patch by Matti Picus. (Github issue :issue:`4764`) * Require the C compiler to support the two-arg form of ``va_start`` on Python 3.10 and higher. Patch by Thomas Caswell. (Github issue :issue:`4820`) * Make ``fused_type`` subscriptable in Shadow.py. Patch by Pfebrer. (Github issue :issue:`4842`) * Fix the incorrect code generation of the target type in ``bytearray`` loops. Patch by Kenrick Everett. (Github issue :issue:`4108`) * Atomic refcounts for memoryviews were not used on some GCC versions by accident. Patch by Sam Gross. (Github issue :issue:`4915`) * Silence some GCC ``-Wconversion`` warnings in C utility code. Patch by Lisandro Dalcin. (Github issue :issue:`4854`) * Tuple multiplication was ignored in expressions such as ``[*(1,) * 2]``. Patch by David Woods. (Github issue :issue:`4864`) * Calling ``append`` methods on extension types could fail to find the method in some cases. Patch by David Woods. (Github issue :issue:`4828`) * Ensure that object buffers (e.g. ``ndarray[object, ndim=1]``) containing ``NULL`` pointers are safe to use, returning ``None`` instead of the ``NULL`` pointer. Patch by Sebastian Berg. (Github issue :issue:`4859`) * Using memoryview typed arguments in inner functions is now rejected as unsupported. Patch by David Woods. (Github issue :issue:`4798`) * Compilation could fail on systems (e.g. FIPS) that block MD5 checksums at runtime. (Github issue :issue:`4909`) * Experimental adaptations for the CPython "nogil" fork was added. Note that there is no official support for this in Cython 0.x. Patch by Sam Gross. (Github issue :issue:`4912`) ``` ### 0.29.30 ``` ==================== Bugs fixed ---------- * The GIL handling changes in 0.29.29 introduced a regression where objects could be deallocated without holding the GIL. (Github issue :issue:`4796`) ``` ### 0.29.29 ``` ==================== Features added -------------- * Avoid acquiring the GIL at the end of nogil functions. This change was backported in order to avoid generating wrong C code that would trigger C compiler warnings with tracing support enabled. Backport by Oleksandr Pavlyk. (Github issue :issue:`4637`) Bugs fixed ---------- * Function definitions in ``finally:`` clauses were not correctly generated. Patch by David Woods. (Github issue :issue:`4651`) * A case where C-API functions could be called with a live exception set was fixed. Patch by Jakub Kulík. (Github issue :issue:`4722`) * Pickles can now be exchanged again with those generated from Cython 3.0 modules. (Github issue :issue:`4680`) * Cython now correctly generates Python methods for both the provided regular and reversed special numeric methods of extension types. Patch by David Woods. (Github issue :issue:`4750`) * Calling unbound extension type methods without arguments could raise an ``IndexError`` instead of a ``TypeError``. Patch by David Woods. (Github issue :issue:`4779`) * Calling unbound ``.__contains__()`` super class methods on some builtin base types could trigger an infinite recursion. Patch by David Woods. (Github issue :issue:`4785`) * The C union type in pure Python mode mishandled some field names. Patch by Jordan Brière. (Github issue :issue:`4727`) * Allow users to overwrite the C macro ``_USE_MATH_DEFINES``. Patch by Yuriy Chernyshov. (Github issue :issue:`4690`) * Improved compatibility with CPython 3.10/11. Patches by Thomas Caswell, David Woods. (Github issues :issue:`4609`, :issue:`4667`, :issue:`4721`, :issue:`4730`, :issue:`4777`) * Docstrings of descriptors are now provided in PyPy 7.3.9. Patch by Matti Picus. (Github issue :issue:`4701`) ``` ### 0.29.28 ``` ==================== Bugs fixed ---------- * Due to backwards incompatible changes in CPython 3.11a4, the feature flags ``CYTHON_FAST_THREAD_STATE`` and ``CYTHON_USE_EXC_INFO_STACK`` are now disabled in Python 3.11 and later. They are enabled again in Cython 3.0. Patch by David Woods. (Github issue :issue:`4610`) * A C compiler warning in older PyPy versions was resolved. Patch by Matti Picus. (Github issue :issue:`4236`) ``` ### 0.29.27 ``` ==================== Features added -------------- * The ``cythonize`` command has a new option ``-M`` to generate ``.dep`` dependency files for the compilation unit. This can be used by external build tools to track these dependencies. Patch by Evgeni Burovski. (Github issue :issue:`1214`) Bugs fixed ---------- * Compilation failures on PyPy were resolved. Patches by Matti Picus. (Github issues :issue:`4509`, :issue:`4517`) * Calls to ``range()`` with more than three arguments did not fail. Original patch by Max Bachmann.

(Github issue :issue:`2752`) * Avoid copying unaligned 16-bit values since some platforms require them to be aligned. Use memcpy() instead to let the C compiler decide how to do it. (Github issue :issue:`4343`) * Cython crashed on invalid truthiness tests on C++ types without ``operator bool``. Patch by David Woods. (Github issue :issue:`4348`) * The declaration of ``PyUnicode_CompareWithASCIIString()`` in ``cpython.unicode`` was incorrect. Patch by Max Bachmann.

(Github issue :issue:`4000`) * Cython no longer validates the ABI size of the NumPy classes it compiled against. See the discussion in https://github.com/numpy/numpy/pull/432 * A C compiler warning about enum value casting was resolved in GCC. (Github issue :issue:`2749`) * Coverage reporting in the annotated HTML file failed in Py3.9. Patch by Nick Pope. (Github issue :issue:`3865`) * The embedding code now reports Python errors as exit status. * Long type declarations could lead to (harmless) random changes in the C file when used in auto-generated Python wrappers or pickled classes. Other changes ------------- * Variables defined as ``cpdef`` now generate a warning since this is currently useless and thus does not do what users would expect. Patch by David Woods. (Github issue :issue:`3959`) ``` ### 0.29.21 ``` ==================== Bugs fixed ---------- * Fix a regression in 0.29.20 where ``__div__`` failed to be found in extension types.

(Github issue :issue:`3106`) * Pythran calls to NumPy methods no longer generate useless method lookup code. * The ``PyUnicode_GET_LENGTH()`` macro was missing from the ``cpython.*`` declarations. Patch by Thomas Caswell. (Github issue :issue:`3692`) * The deprecated ``PyUnicode_*()`` C-API functions are no longer used, except for Unicode strings that contain lone surrogates. Unicode strings that contain non-BMP characters or surrogate pairs now generate different C code on 16-bit Python 2.x Unicode deployments (such as MS-Windows). Generating the C code on Python 3.x is recommended in this case. Original patches by Inada Naoki and Victor Stinner. (Github issues :issue:`3677`, :issue:`3721`, :issue:`3697`) * Some template parameters were missing from the C++ ``std::unordered_map`` declaration. Patch by will.

(Github issue :issue:`3622`) * A platform specific test failure in 0.29.18 was fixed. Patch by smutch. (Github issue :issue:`3620`) ``` ### 0.29.18 ``` ==================== Bugs fixed ---------- * Exception position reporting could run into race conditions on threaded code. It now uses function-local variables again. * Error handling early in the module init code could lead to a crash. * Error handling in ``cython.array`` creation was improved to avoid calling C-API functions with an error held. * A memory corruption was fixed when garbage collection was triggered during calls to ``PyType_Ready()`` of extension type subclasses. (Github issue :issue:`3603`) * Memory view slicing generated unused error handling code which could negatively impact the C compiler optimisations for parallel OpenMP code etc. Also, it is now helped by static branch hints. (Github issue :issue:`2987`) * Cython's built-in OpenMP functions were not translated inside of call arguments. Original patch by Celelibi and David Woods. (Github issue :issue:`3594`) * Complex buffer item types of structs of arrays could fail to validate. Patch by Leo and smutch. (Github issue :issue:`1407`) * Decorators were not allowed on nested `async def` functions. (Github issue :issue:`1462`) * C-tuples could use invalid C struct casting. Patch by MegaIng. (Github issue :issue:`3038`) * Optimised ``%d`` string formatting into f-strings failed on float values. (Github issue :issue:`3092`) * Optimised aligned string formatting (``%05s``, ``%-5s``) failed. (Github issue :issue:`3476`) * When importing the old Cython ``build_ext`` integration with distutils, the additional command line arguments leaked into the regular command. Patch by Kamekameha. (Github issue :issue:`2209`) * When using the ``CYTHON_NO_PYINIT_EXPORT`` option in C++, the module init function was not declared as ``extern "C"``. (Github issue :issue:`3414`) * Three missing timedelta access macros were added in ``cpython.datetime``. * The signature of the NumPy C-API function ``PyArray_SearchSorted()`` was fixed. Patch by Brock Mendel. (Github issue :issue:`3606`) ``` ### 0.29.17 ``` ==================== Features added -------------- * ``std::move()`` is now available from ``libcpp.utility``.

(Github issue :issue:`3543`) * Creating a fused function attached it to the garbage collector before it was fully initialised, thus risking crashes in rare failure cases. Original patch by achernomorov. (Github issue :issue:`3215`) * Temporary buffer indexing variables were not released and could show up in C compiler warnings, e.g. in generators. Patch by David Woods. (Github issues :issue:`3430`, :issue:`3522`) * The compilation cache in ``cython.inline("…")`` failed to take the language level into account. Patch by will-ca.

Patch by Serge Guelton. (Github issue :issue:`2989`) * A reference leak in power-of-2 calculation was fixed. Patch by Sebastian Berg. (Github issue :issue:`3022`) * The search order for include files was changed. Previously it was ``include_directories``, ``Cython/Includes``, ``sys.path``. Now it is ``include_directories``, ``sys.path``, ``Cython/Includes``. This was done to allow third-party ``*.pxd`` files to override the ones in Cython. Original patch by Matti Picus. (Github issue :issue:`2905`) * Setting ``language_level=2`` in a file did not work if ``language_level=3`` was enabled globally before. Patch by Jeroen Demeyer. (Github issue :issue:`2791`) ``` ### 0.29.10 ``` ==================== Bugs fixed ---------- * Fix compile errors in CPython 3.8b1 due to the new "tp_vectorcall" slots.

(Github issue :issue:`2731`) ``` ### 0.29.1 ``` =================== Bugs fixed ---------- * Extensions compiled with MinGW-64 under Windows could misinterpret integer objects larger than 15 bit and return incorrect results. (Github issue :issue:`2670`) * Cython no longer requires the source to be writable when copying its data into a memory view slice. Patch by Andrey Paramonov. (Github issue :issue:`2644`) * Line tracing of ``try``-statements generated invalid C code. (Github issue :issue:`2274`) * When using the ``warn.undeclared`` directive, Cython's own code generated warnings that are now fixed. Patch by Nicolas Pauss. (Github issue :issue:`2685`) * Cython's memoryviews no longer require strides for setting the shape field but only the ``PyBUF_ND`` flag to be set. Patch by John Kirkham. (Github issue :issue:`2716`) * Some C compiler warnings about unused memoryview code were fixed. Patch by Ho Cheuk Ting. (Github issue :issue:`2588`) * A C compiler warning about implicit signed/unsigned conversion was fixed.

Patch by Kryštof Pilnáček. (Github issue :issue:`2638`) * A struct field type in the ``cpython.array`` declarations was corrected. Patch by John Kirkham. (Github issue :issue:`2712`) ``` ### 0.29 ``` ================= Features added -------------- * PEP-489 multi-phase module initialisation has been enabled again. Module reloads in other subinterpreters raise an exception to prevent corruption of the static module state. * A set of ``mypy`` compatible PEP-484 declarations were added for Cython's C data types to integrate with static analysers in typed Python code. They are available in the ``Cython/Shadow.pyi`` module and describe the types in the special ``cython`` module that can be used for typing in Python code. Original patch by Julian Gethmann. (Github issue :issue:`1965`) * Memoryviews are supported in PEP-484/526 style type declarations. (Github issue :issue:`2529`) * ``cython.nogil`` is supported as a C-function decorator in Python code. (Github issue :issue:`2557`) * Raising exceptions from nogil code will automatically acquire the GIL, instead of requiring an explicit ``with gil`` block. * C++ functions can now be declared as potentially raising both C++ and Python exceptions, so that Cython can handle both correctly. (Github issue :issue:`2615`) * ``cython.inline()`` supports a direct ``language_level`` keyword argument that was previously only available via a directive. * A new language level name ``3str`` was added that mostly corresponds to language level 3, but keeps unprefixed string literals as type 'str' in both Py2 and Py3, and the builtin 'str' type unchanged. This will become the default in the next Cython release and is meant to help user code a) transition more easily to this new default and b) migrate to Python 3 source code semantics without making support for Python 2.x difficult. * In CPython 3.6 and later, looking up globals in the module dict is almost as fast as looking up C globals. (Github issue :issue:`2313`) * For a Python subclass of an extension type, repeated method calls to non-overridden cpdef methods can avoid the attribute lookup in Py3.6+, which makes them 4x faster. (Github issue :issue:`2313`) * (In-)equality comparisons of objects to integer literals are faster. (Github issue :issue:`2188`) * Some internal and 1-argument method calls are faster. * Modules that cimport many external extension types from other Cython modules execute less import requests during module initialisation. * Constant tuples and slices are deduplicated and only created once per module. (Github issue :issue:`2292`) * The coverage plugin considers more C file extensions such as ``.cc`` and ``.cxx``. (Github issue :issue:`2266`) * The ``cythonize`` command accepts compile time variable values (as set by ``DEF``) through the new ``-E`` option. Patch by Jerome Kieffer. (Github issue :issue:`2315`) * ``pyximport`` can import from namespace packages. Patch by Prakhar Goel. (Github issue :issue:`2294`) * Some missing numpy and CPython C-API declarations were added. Patch by John Kirkham. (Github issues :issue:`2523`, :issue:`2520`, :issue:`2537`) * Declarations for the ``pylifecycle`` C-API functions were added in a new .pxd file ``cpython.pylifecycle``. * The Pythran support was updated to work with the latest Pythran 0.8.7. Original patch by Adrien Guinet. (Github issue :issue:`2600`) * ``%a`` is included in the string formatting types that are optimised into f-strings. In this case, it is also automatically mapped to ``%r`` in Python 2.x. * New C macro ``CYTHON_HEX_VERSION`` to access Cython's version in the same style as ``PY_VERSION_HEX``. * Constants in ``libc.math`` are now declared as ``const`` to simplify their handling. * An additional ``check_size`` clause was added to the ``ctypedef class`` name specification to allow suppressing warnings when importing modules with backwards-compatible ``PyTypeObject`` size changes. Patch by Matti Picus. (Github issue :issue:`2627`) Bugs fixed ---------- * The exception handling in generators and coroutines under CPython 3.7 was adapted to the newly introduced exception stack. Users of Cython 0.28 who want to support Python 3.7 are encouraged to upgrade to 0.29 to avoid potentially incorrect error reporting and tracebacks. (Github issue :issue:`1958`) * Crash when importing a module under Stackless Python that was built for CPython. Patch by Anselm Kruis. (Github issue :issue:`2534`) * 2-value slicing of typed sequences failed if the start or stop index was None. Patch by Christian Gibson. (Github issue :issue:`2508`) * Multiplied string literals lost their factor when they are part of another constant expression (e.g. 'x' * 10 + 'y' => 'xy'). * String formatting with the '%' operator didn't call the special ``__rmod__()`` method if the right side is a string subclass that implements it. (Python issue 28598) * The directive ``language_level=3`` did not apply to the first token in the source file. (Github issue :issue:`2230`) * Overriding cpdef methods did not work in Python subclasses with slots. Note that this can have a performance impact on calls from Cython code. (Github issue :issue:`1771`) * Fix declarations of builtin or C types using strings in pure python mode. (Github issue :issue:`2046`) * Generator expressions and lambdas failed to compile in ``cfunc`` functions. (Github issue :issue:`459`) * Global names with ``const`` types were not excluded from star-import assignments which could lead to invalid C code. (Github issue :issue:`2621`) * Several internal function signatures were fixed that lead to warnings in gcc-8. (Github issue :issue:`2363`) * The numpy helper functions ``set_array_base()`` and ``get_array_base()`` were adapted to the current numpy C-API recommendations. Patch by Matti Picus. (Github issue :issue:`2528`) * Some NumPy related code was updated to avoid deprecated API usage. Original patch by jbrockmendel. (Github issue :issue:`2559`) * Several C++ STL declarations were extended and corrected. Patch by Valentin Valls. (Github issue :issue:`2207`) * C lines of the module init function were unconditionally not reported in exception stack traces. Patch by Jeroen Demeyer. (Github issue :issue:`2492`) * When PEP-489 support is enabled, reloading the module overwrote any static module state. It now raises an exception instead, given that reloading is not actually supported. * Object-returning, C++ exception throwing functions were not checking that the return value was non-null. Original patch by Matt Wozniski (Github issue :issue:`2603`) * The source file encoding detection could get confused if the ``c_string_encoding`` directive appeared within the first two lines. (Github issue :issue:`2632`) * Cython generated modules no longer emit a warning during import when the size of the NumPy array type is larger than what was found at compile time. Instead, this is assumed to be a backwards compatible change on NumPy side. Other changes ------------- * Cython now emits a warning when no ``language_level`` (2, 3 or '3str') is set explicitly, neither as a ``cythonize()`` option nor as a compiler directive. This is meant to prepare the transition of the default language level from currently Py2 to Py3, since that is what most new users will expect these days. The future default will, however, not enforce unicode literals, because this has proven a major obstacle in the support for both Python 2.x and 3.x. The next major release is intended to make this change, so that it will parse all code that does not request a specific language level as Python 3 code, but with ``str`` literals. The language level 2 will continue to be supported for an indefinite time. * The documentation was restructured, cleaned up and examples are now tested. The NumPy tutorial was also rewritten to simplify the running example. Contributed by Gabriel de Marmiesse. (Github issue :issue:`2245`) * Cython compiles less of its own modules at build time to reduce the installed package size to about half of its previous size. This makes the compiler slightly slower, by about 5-7%. ``` ### 0.28.6 ``` =================== Bugs fixed ---------- * Extensions compiled with MinGW-64 under Windows could misinterpret integer objects larger than 15 bit and return incorrect results. (Github issue :issue:`2670`) * Multiplied string literals lost their factor when they are part of another constant expression (e.g. 'x' * 10 + 'y' => 'xy'). ``` ### 0.28.5 ``` =================== Bugs fixed ---------- * The discouraged usage of GCC's attribute ``optimize("Os")`` was replaced by the similar attribute ``cold`` to reduce the code impact of the module init functions. (Github issue :issue:`2494`) * A reference leak in Py2.x was fixed when comparing str to unicode for equality. ``` ### 0.28.4 ``` =================== Bugs fixed ---------- * Reallowing ``tp_clear()`` in a subtype of an ``no_gc_clear`` extension type generated an invalid C function call to the (non-existent) base type implementation. (Github issue :issue:`2309`) * Exception catching based on a non-literal (runtime) tuple could fail to match the exception. (Github issue :issue:`2425`) * Compile fix for CPython 3.7.0a2. (Github issue :issue:`2477`) ``` ### 0.28.3 ``` =================== Bugs fixed ---------- * Set iteration was broken in non-CPython since 0.28. * ``UnicodeEncodeError`` in Py2 when ``%s`` formatting is optimised for unicode strings. (Github issue :issue:`2276`) * Work around a crash bug in g++ 4.4.x by disabling the size reduction setting of the module init function in this version. (Github issue :issue:`2235`) * Crash when exceptions occur early during module initialisation. (Github issue :issue:`2199`) ``` ### 0.28.2 ``` =================== Features added -------------- * ``abs()`` is faster for Python long objects. * The C++11 methods ``front()`` and ``end()`` were added to the declaration of ``libcpp.string``. Patch by Alex Huszagh. (Github issue :issue:`2123`) * The C++11 methods ``reserve()`` and ``bucket_count()`` are declared for ``libcpp.unordered_map``. Patch by Valentin Valls. (Github issue :issue:`2168`) Bugs fixed ---------- * The copy of a read-only memoryview was considered read-only as well, whereas a common reason to copy a read-only view is to make it writable. The result of the copying is now a writable buffer by default. (Github issue :issue:`2134`) * The ``switch`` statement generation failed to apply recursively to the body of converted if-statements. * ``NULL`` was sometimes rejected as exception return value when the returned type is a fused pointer type. Patch by Callie LeFave. (Github issue :issue:`2177`) * Fixed compatibility with PyPy 5.11. Patch by Matti Picus. (Github issue :issue:`2165`) Other changes ------------- * The NumPy tutorial was rewritten to use memoryviews instead of the older buffer declaration syntax. Contributed by Gabriel de Marmiesse. (Github issue :issue:`2162`) ``` ### 0.28.1 ``` =================== Bugs fixed ---------- * ``PyFrozenSet_New()`` was accidentally used in PyPy where it is missing from the C-API. * Assignment between some C++ templated types were incorrectly rejected when the templates mix ``const`` with ``ctypedef``. (Github issue :issue:`2148`) * Undeclared C++ no-args constructors in subclasses could make the compilation fail if the base class constructor was declared without ``nogil``. (Github issue :issue:`2157`) * Bytes %-formatting inferred ``basestring`` (bytes or unicode) as result type in some cases where ``bytes`` would have been safe to infer. (Github issue :issue:`2153`) * ``None`` was accidentally disallowed as typed return value of ``dict.pop()``. (Github issue :issue:`2152`) ``` ### 0.28 ``` ================= Features added -------------- * Cdef classes can now multiply inherit from ordinary Python classes. (The primary base must still be a c class, possibly ``object``, and the other bases must *not* be cdef classes.) * Type inference is now supported for Pythran compiled NumPy expressions. Patch by Nils Braun. (Github issue :issue:`1954`) * The ``const`` modifier can be applied to memoryview declarations to allow read-only buffers as input. (Github issues :issue:`1605`, :issue:`1869`) * C code in the docstring of a ``cdef extern`` block is copied verbatimly into the generated file. Patch by Jeroen Demeyer. (Github issue :issue:`1915`) * When compiling with gcc, the module init function is now tuned for small code size instead of whatever compile flags were provided externally. Cython now also disables some code intensive optimisations in that function to further reduce the code size. (Github issue :issue:`2102`) * Decorating an async coroutine with ``cython.iterable_coroutine`` changes its type at compile time to make it iterable. While this is not strictly in line with PEP-492, it improves the interoperability with old-style coroutines that use ``yield from`` instead of ``await``. * The IPython magic has preliminary support for JupyterLab. (Github issue :issue:`1775`) * The new TSS C-API in CPython 3.7 is supported and has been backported. Patch by Naotoshi Seo. (Github issue :issue:`1932`) * Cython knows the new ``Py_tss_t`` type defined in PEP-539 and automatically initialises variables declared with that type to ``Py_tss_NEEDS_INIT``, a value which cannot be used outside of static assignments. * The set methods ``.remove()`` and ``.discard()`` are optimised. Patch by Antoine Pitrou. (Github issue :issue:`2042`) * ``dict.pop()`` is optimised. Original patch by Antoine Pitrou. (Github issue :issue:`2047`) * Iteration over sets and frozensets is optimised. (Github issue :issue:`2048`) * Safe integer loops (< range(2^30)) are automatically optimised into C loops. * ``alist.extend([a,b,c])`` is optimised into sequential ``list.append()`` calls for short literal sequences. * Calls to builtin methods that are not specifically optimised into C-API calls now use a cache that avoids repeated lookups of the underlying C function. (Github issue :issue:`2054`) * Single argument function calls can avoid the argument tuple creation in some cases. * Some redundant extension type checks are avoided. * Formatting C enum values in f-strings is faster, as well as some other special cases. * String formatting with the '%' operator is optimised into f-strings in simple cases. * Subscripting (item access) is faster in some cases. * Some ``bytearray`` operations have been optimised similar to ``bytes``. * Some PEP-484/526 container type declarations are now considered for loop optimisations. * Indexing into memoryview slices with ``view[i][j]`` is now optimised into ``view[i, j]``. * Python compatible ``cython.*`` types can now be mixed with type declarations in Cython syntax. * Name lookups in the module and in classes are faster. * Python attribute lookups on extension types without instance dict are faster. * Some missing signals were added to ``libc/signal.pxd``. Patch by Jeroen Demeyer. (Github issue :issue:`1914`) * The warning about repeated extern declarations is now visible by default. (Github issue :issue:`1874`) * The exception handling of the function types used by CPython's type slot functions was corrected to match the de-facto standard behaviour, so that code that uses them directly benefits from automatic and correct exception propagation. Patch by Jeroen Demeyer. (Github issue :issue:`1980`) * Defining the macro ``CYTHON_NO_PYINIT_EXPORT`` will prevent the module init function from being exported as symbol, e.g. when linking modules statically in an embedding setup. Patch by AraHaan. (Github issue :issue:`1944`) Bugs fixed ---------- * If a module name is explicitly provided for an ``Extension()`` that is compiled via ``cythonize()``, it was previously ignored and replaced by the source file name. It can now be used to override the target module name, e.g. for compiling prefixed accelerator modules from Python files. (Github issue :issue:`2038`) * The arguments of the ``num_threads`` parameter of parallel sections were not sufficiently validated and could lead to invalid C code. (Github issue :issue:`1957`) * Catching exceptions with a non-trivial exception pattern could call into CPython with a live exception set. This triggered incorrect behaviour and crashes, especially in CPython 3.7. * The signature of the special ``__richcmp__()`` method was corrected to recognise the type of the first argument as ``self``. It was previously treated as plain object, but CPython actually guarantees that it always has the correct type. Note: this can change the semantics of user code that previously relied on ``self`` being untyped. * Some Python 3 exceptions were not recognised as builtins when running Cython under Python 2. * Some async helper functions were not defined in the generated C code when compiling simple async code. (Github issue :issue:`2075`) * Line tracing did not include generators and coroutines. (Github issue :issue:`1949`) * C++ declarations for ``unordered_map`` were corrected. Patch by Michael Schatzow. (Github issue :issue:`1484`) * Iterator declarations in C++ ``deque`` and ``vector`` were corrected. Patch by Alex Huszagh. (Github issue :issue:`1870`) * The const modifiers in the C++ ``string`` declarations were corrected, together with the coercion behaviour of string literals into C++ strings. (Github issue :issue:`2132`) * Some declaration types in ``libc.limits`` were corrected. Patch by Jeroen Demeyer. (Github issue :issue:`2016`) * ``cython.final`` was not accepted on Python classes with an ``cython.cclass`` decorator. (Github issue :issue:`2040`) * Cython no longer creates useless and incorrect ``PyInstanceMethod`` wrappers for methods in Python 3. Patch by Jeroen Demeyer. (Github issue :issue:`2105`) * The builtin ``bytearray`` type could not be used as base type of cdef classes. (Github issue :issue:`2106`) Other changes ------------- ``` ### 0.27.3 ``` =================== Bugs fixed ---------- * String forward references to extension types like ``cython.locals(x="ExtType")`` failed to find the named type. (Github issue :issue:`1962`) * NumPy slicing generated incorrect results when compiled with Pythran. Original patch by Serge Guelton (Github issue :issue:`1946`). * Fix "undefined reference" linker error for generators on Windows in Py3.3-3.5. (Github issue :issue:`1968`) * Adapt to recent C-API change of ``PyThreadState`` in CPython 3.7. * Fix signature of ``PyWeakref_GetObject()`` API declaration. Patch by Jeroen Demeyer (Github issue :issue:`1975`). ``` ### 0.27.2 ``` ===============
