py-cython: updated to 3.0.10

3.0.10 (2024-03-30)
===================

Bugs fixed
----------

* Cython generated incorrect self-casts when directly calling final methods of subtypes.
  Patch by Lisandro Dalcin.  (Github issue :issue:`2747`)

* Internal C names generated from C function signatures could become too long for MSVC.
  (Github issue :issue:`6052`)

* The ``noexcept`` warnings could be misleading in some cases.
  Patch by Gonzalo Tornaría.  (Github issue :issue:`6087`)

* The ``@cython.ufunc`` implementation could generate incomplete C code.
  (Github issue :issue:`6064`)

* The ``libcpp.complex`` declarations could result in incorrect C++ code.
  Patch by Raffi Enficiaud.  (Github issue :issue:`6037`)

* Several tests were adapted to work with both NumPy 1.x and 2.0.
  Patch by Matti Picus.  (Github issues :issue:`6076`, :issue:`6100`)

* C compiler warnings when the freelist implementation is disabled (e.g. on PyPy) were fixed.
  It can now be disabled explicitly with the C macro guard ``CYTHON_USE_FREELISTS=0``.
  (Github issue :issue:`6099`)

* Some C macro guards for feature flags were missing from the NOGIL Python configuration.

* Some recently added builtins were unconditionally looked up at module import time
  (if used by user code) that weren't available on all Python versions and could thus
  fail the import.

* A performance hint regarding exported pxd declarations was improved.
  (Github issue :issue:`6001`)

3.0.9 (2024-03-05)
==================

Features added
--------------

* Assigning ``const`` values to non-const variables now issues a warning.
  (Github issue :issue:`5639`)

* Using ``noexcept`` on a function returning Python objects now issues a warning.
  (Github issue :issue:`5661`)

* Some C-API usage was updated for the upcoming CPython 3.13.
  Patches by Victor Stinner et al.  (Github issues :issue:`6003`, :issue:`6020`)

* The deprecated ``Py_UNICODE`` type is no longer used, unless required by user code.
  (Github issue :issue:`5982`)

* ``std::string.replace()`` declarations were added to libcpp.string.
  Patch by Kieran Geary.  (Github issue :issue:`6037`)

Bugs fixed
----------

* Cython generates incorrect (but harmless) self-casts when directly calling
  final methods of subtypes.  Lacking a better solution, the errors that recent
  gcc versions produce have been silenced for the time being.
  Original patch by Micha Górny.  (Github issue :issue:`2747`)

* Unused variable warnings about clineno were fixed when C lines in tracebacks are disabled.
  (Github issue :issue:`6035`)

* Subclass deallocation of extern classes could crash if the base class uses GC.
  Original patch by Jason Fried.  (Github issue :issue:`5971`)

* Type checks for Python ``memoryview`` could use an invalid C function.
  Patch by Xenia Lu.  (Github issue :issue:`5988`)

* Calling final fused functions could generate invalid C code.
  (Github issue :issue:`5989`)

* Declaring extern enums multiple times could generate invalid C code.
  (Github issue :issue:`5905`)

* ``pyximport`` used relative paths incorrectly.
  Patch by Stefano Rivera.  (Github issue :issue:`5957`)

* Running Cython with globbing characters (``[]*?``) in the module search path could fail.
  Patch by eewanco.  (Github issue :issue:`5942`)

* Literal strings that include braces could change the C code indentation.

Other changes
-------------

* The "enum class not importable" warning is now only issued once per enum type.
  (Github issue :issue:`5941`)

py-cython: updated to 3.0.8

3.0.8 (2024-01-10)

Bugs fixed

* Using ``const`` together with defined fused types could fail to compile.

* A "use after free" bug was fixed in parallel sections.

* Several types were not available as ``cython.*`` types in pure Python code.

* The generated code is now correct C89 again, removing some C++ style ``//`` comments
  and C99-style declaration-after-code code ordering.  This is still relevant for some
  ols C compilers, specifically ones that match old Python 2.7 installations.

==================

Bugs fixed
----------

* In the iterator of generator expressions, ``await`` and ``yield`` were not correctly analysed.
  (Github issue :issue:`5851`)

* ``cpdef`` enums with the same name cimported from different modules could lead to
  invalid C code.
  (Github issue :issue:`5887`)

  (Github issue :issue:`5902`)

* Compiling fused types used in pxd files could crash Cython in Python 3.11+.
  (Github issues :issue:`5894`,  :issue:`5588`)

* Source files with non-ASCII file names could crash Cython.

py-cython: update to 3.0.5.

3.0.5 (2023-10-31)
==================

Features added
--------------

* Preliminary support for CPython 3.13a1 was added to allow early testing.
  (Github issue :issue:`5767`)

Bugs fixed
----------

* A compiler crash was fixed.
  (Github issue :issue:`5771`)

* A typo in the ``always_allow_keywords`` directive for Python code was fixed.
  Patch by lk-1984.  (Github issue :issue:`5772`)

* Some C compiler warnings were resolved.
  Patch by Pierre Jolivet.  (Github issue :issue:`5780`)


3.0.4 (2023-10-17)
==================

Features added
--------------

* A new compiler directive ``show_performance_hints`` was added to disable the
  newly added performance hint output.
  (Github issue :issue:`5748`)

Bugs fixed
----------

* ```cythonize` required ``distutils`` even for operations that did not build binaries.
  (Github issue :issue:`5751`)

* A regression in 3.0.3 was fixed that prevented calling inline functions
  from another inline function in ``.pxd`` files.
  (Github issue :issue:`5748`)

* Some C compiler warnings were resolved.
  Patch by Pierre Jolivet.  (Github issue :issue:`5756`)


3.0.3 (2023-10-05)
==================

Features added
--------------

* More warnings were added to help users migrate and avoid bugs.
  (Github issue :issue:`5650`)

* A warning-like category for performance hints was added that bypasses ``-Werror``.
  (Github issue :issue:`5673`)

* FastGIL now uses standard ``thread_local`` in C++.
  (Github issue :issue:`5640`)

* ``reference_wrapper`` was added to ``libcpp.functional``.
  Patch by Vyas Ramasubramani.  (Github issue :issue:`5671`)

* The ``cythonize`` command now supports the ``--cplus`` option known from the ``cython`` command.
  (Github issue :issue:`5736`)

Bugs fixed
----------

* Performance regressions where the GIL was needlessly acquired were fixed.
  (Github issues :issue:`5670`, :issue:`5700`)

* A reference leak for exceptions in Python 3.12 was resolved.
  Patch by Eric Johnson.  (Github issue :issue:`5724`)

* ``fastcall`` calls with keyword arguments generated incorrect C code.
  (Github issue :issue:`5665`)

* Assigning the type converted result of a conditional (if-else) expression
  to ``int`` or ``bool`` variables could lead to incorrect C code.
  (Github issue :issue:`5731`)

* Early (unlikely) failures in Python function wrappers no longer set a
  traceback in order to simplify the C code flow.  Being mostly memory
  allocation errors, they probably would never have created a traceback anyway.
  (Github issue :issue:`5681`)

* Relative cimports from packages with ``__init__.py`` files could fail.
  (Github issue :issue:`5715`)

* Several issues with the Limited API support were resolved.
  (Github issues :issue:`5641`, :issue:`5648`, :issue:`5689`)

* The code generated for special-casing both Cython functions and PyCFunctions was cleaned up
  to avoid calling C-API functions that were not meant for the other type respectively.
  This could previously trigger assertions in CPython debug builds and now also plays better
  with the Limited API.
  (Github issues :issue:`4804`, :issue:`5739`)

* Fix some C compiler warnings.
  Patches by Ralf Gommers, Oleksandr Pavlyk, Sebastian Koslowski et al.
  (Github issues :issue:`5651`, :issue:`5663`, :issue:`5668`, :issue:`5717`, :issue:`5726`, :issue:`5734`)

* Generating gdb debugging information failed when using generator expressions.
  Patch by Oleksandr Pavlyk.  (Github issue :issue:`5552`)

* Passing a ``setuptools.Extension`` into ``cythonize()`` instead of a
  ``distutils.Extension`` could make it miss the matching extensions.

* ``cython -M`` needlessly required ``distutils``, which made it fail in Python 3.12.
  (Github issue :issue:`5681`)

Other changes
-------------

* The visible deprecation warning for ``DEF`` was removed again since it proved
  difficult for some users to migrate away from it.  The statement is still
  meant to be removed at some point (and thus, like ``IF``, should not be
  used in new code), but the time for sunset is probably not around the corner.
  (Github issue :issue:`4310`)

* The ``np_pythran`` option raise a ``DeprecationWarning`` if it receives other values
  than ``True`` and ``False``.  This will eventually be disallowed (in line with all
  other boolean options).


3.0.2 (2023-08-27)
==================

Bugs fixed
----------

* Using ``None`` as default value for arguments annotated as ``int`` could crash Cython.
  (Github issue :issue:`5643`)

* Default values of fused types that include ``complex`` could generate invalid C code
  with ``-DCYTHON_CCOMPLEX=0``.
  (Github issue :issue:`5644`)

* Using C++ enum class types in extension type method signatures could generate invalid C code.
  (Github issue :issue:`5637`)


3.0.1 (2023-08-25)
==================

Features added
--------------

* The error messages regarding exception declarations were improved in order to give
  better help about possible reasons and fixes.
  (Github issue :issue:`5547`)

Bugs fixed
----------

* Memory view types in Python argument annotations no longer accept ``None``.  They now
  require an explicit ``Optional[]`` or a ``None`` default value in order to allow ``None``
  to be passed.  This was an oversight in the 3.0.0 release and is a BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE
  change.  However, since it only applies to code using Python syntax, it probably only
  applies to newly written code that was written for Cython 3.0 and can easily be adapted.
  In most cases, we expect that this change will avoid bugs in user code rather than
  produce problems.
  (Github issue :issue:`5612`)

* ``nogil`` functions using parallel code could freeze when called with the GIL held.
  (Github issues :issue:`5564`, :issue:`5573`)

* Relative cimports could end up searching globally and find the same package installed
  elsewhere, potentially in another version.
  (Github issue :issue:`5511`)

* Attribute lookups on known standard library modules could accidentally search
  in the module namespace instead.
  (Github issue :issue:`5536`)

* Using constructed C++ default arguments could generate invalid C++ code.
  (Github issue :issue:`5553`)

* ``libcpp.memory.make_unique()`` was lacking C++ exception handling.
  (Github issue :issue:`5560`)

* Some non-public and deprecated CAPI usages were replaced by public
  (and thus more future proof) API code.

* Many issues with the Limited API support were resolved.
  Patches by Lisandro Dalcin et al.
  (Github issues :issue:`5549`, :issue:`5550`, :issue:`5556`, :issue:`5605`, :issue:`5617`)

* Some C compiler warnings were resolved.
  Patches by Matti Picus et al.  (Github issues :issue:`5557`, :issue:`5555`)

* Large Python integers are now stored in hex instead of decimal strings to work around
  security limits in Python and generally speed up their Python object creation.

* ``NULL`` could not be used as default for fused type pointer arguments.
  (Github issue :issue:`5554`)

* C functions that return pointer types now return ``NULL`` as default exception value.
  Previously, calling code wasn't aware of this and always tested for raised exceptions.
  (Github issue :issue:`5554`)

* Untyped literal default arguments in fused functions could generate invalid C code.
  (Github issue :issue:`5614`)

* C variables declared as ``const`` could generate invalid C code when used in closures,
  generator expressions, ctuples, etc.
  (Github issues :issue:`5558`,  :issue:`5333`)

* Enums could not refer to previously defined enums in their definition.
  (Github issue :issue:`5602`)

* The Python conversion code for anonymous C enums conflicted with regular int conversion.
  (Github issue :issue:`5623`)

* Using memory views for property methods (and other special methods) could lead to
  refcounting problems.
  (Github issue :issue:`5571`)

* Star-imports could generate code that tried to assign to constant C macros like
  ``PY_SSIZE_T_MAX`` and ``PY_SSIZE_T_MIN``.
  Patch by Philipp Wagner.  (Github issue :issue:`5562`)

* ``CYTHON_USE_TYPE_SPECS`` can now be (explicitly) enabled in PyPy.

* The template parameter "delimeters" in the Tempita ``Template`` class was corrected
  to "delimiters".  The old spelling is still available in the main template API but
  now issues a ``DeprecationWarning``.
  (Github issue :issue:`5608`)

* The ``cython --version`` output is now  less likely to reach both stdout and stderr.
  Patch by Eli Schwartz.  (Github issue :issue:`5504`)

* The sdist was missing the `Shadow.pyi` stub file.


3.0.0 unified release notes
===========================

Cython 3.0.0 has been a very large effort that cleaned up many old warts,
introduced many new features, and introduces a couple of intentional
behaviour changes, even though the goal remained to stay compatible as
much as possible with Cython 0.29.x. For details, see the `migration guide`_.

.. _`migration guide`: https://cython.readthedocs.io/en/latest/src/userguide/migrating_to_cy30.html

As the development was spread out over several years, a lot of things have
happened in the meantime. Many crucial bugfixes and some features were
backported to 0.29.x and are not strictly speaking "new" in Cython 3.0.0.

Major themes in 3.0.0
=====================

Compatibility with CPython and the Python C API
-----------------------------------------------

Since Cython 3.0.0 started development, CPython 3.8-3.11 were released.
All these are supported in Cython, including experimental support for the
in-development CPython 3.12. On the other end of the spectrum, support for
Python 2.6 was dropped.

Cython interacts very closely with the C-API of Python, which is where most
of the adaptation work happens.


Related changes
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

* 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 ``Py_hash_t`` type failed to accept arbitrary "index" values.
  (Github issue :issue:`2752`)

* ``@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`)

* ``PyEval_InitThreads()`` is no longer used in Py3.7+ where it is a no-op.

* A low-level inline function ``total_seconds(timedelta)`` was added to
  ``cpython.datetime`` to bypass the Python method call.  Note that this function
  is not guaranteed to give exactly the same results for very large time intervals.
  Patch by Brock Mendel.  (Github issue :issue:`3616`)

* The internal CPython macro ``Py_ISSPACE()`` is no longer used.
  Original patch by Andrew Jones.  (Github issue :issue:`4111`)

* The value ``PyBUF_MAX_NDIM`` was added to the ``cpython.buffer`` module.
  Patch by John Kirkham.  (Github issue :issue:`3811`)

* A new module ``cpython.time`` was added with some low-level alternatives to
  Python's ``time`` module.
  Patch by Brock Mendel.  (Github issue :issue:`3767`)

* More C-API declarations for ``cpython.datetime``  were added.
  Patch by Bluenix2.  (Github issue :issue:`4128`)

* C-API declarations for context variables in Python 3.7 were added.
  Original patch by Zolisa Bleki.  (Github issue :issue:`2281`)

* C-API declarations for ``cpython.fileobject`` were added.
  Patch by Zackery Spytz.  (Github issue :issue:`3906`)

* The signature of ``PyFloat_FromString()`` in ``cpython.float`` was changed
  to match the signature in Py3.  It still has an automatic fallback for Py2.
  (Github issue :issue:`3909`)

* ``PyMem_[Raw]Calloc()`` was added to the ``cpython.mem`` declarations.
  Note that the ``Raw`` versions are no longer #defined by Cython.  The previous
  macros were not considered safe.
  Patch by William Schwartz and David Woods.  (Github issue :issue:`3047`)

* The runtime size check for imported ``PyVarObject`` types was improved
  to reduce false positives and adapt to Python 3.11.
  Patch by David Woods.  (Github issues :issue:`4827`, :issue:`4894`)

* The generated C code failed to compile in CPython 3.11a4 and later.
  (Github issue :issue:`4500`)

* ``pyximport`` no longer uses the deprecated ``imp`` module.
  Patch by Matúš Valo.  (Github issue :issue:`4560`)

* Improvements to ``PyTypeObject`` definitions in pxd wrapping of libpython.
  Patch by John Kirkham. (Github issue :issue:`4699`)

* Some old usages of the deprecated Python ``imp`` module were replaced with ``importlib``.
  Patch by Matúš Valo.  (Github issue :issue:`4640`)

* ``cpdef`` enums no longer use ``OrderedDict`` but ``dict`` in Python 3.6 and later.
  Patch by GalaxySnail.  (Github issue :issue:`5180`)

* Several problems with CPython 3.12 were resolved.
  (Github issue :issue:`5238`)

* The exception handling code was adapted to CPython 3.12.
  (Github issue :issue:`5442`)

* The Python ``int`` handling code was adapted to make use of the new ``PyLong``
  internals in CPython 3.12.
  (Github issue :issue:`5353`)

* A compile error when using ``__debug__`` was resolved.

* The deprecated ``_PyGC_FINALIZED()`` C-API macro is no longer used.
  Patch by Thomas Caswell and Matúš Valo.  (Github issue :issue:`5481`)

* A crash in Python 2.7 was fixed when cleaning up extension type instances
  at program end.


Compatibility with other Python implementations
-----------------------------------------------

Cython tries to support other Python implementations, largely on a best-effort
basis. The most advanced support exists for PyPy, which is tested in our CI
and considered supported.

Related changes
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

* An unsupported C-API call in PyPy was fixed.
  Patch by Max Bachmann.  (Github issue :issue:`4055`)

* Support for the now unsupported Pyston V1 was removed in favour of Pyston V2.
  Patch by Marius Wachtler.  (Github issue :issue:`4211`)

* A C compiler warning in PyPy3 regarding ``PyEval_EvalCode()`` was resolved.

* Some compatibility issues with PyPy were resolved.
  Patches by Max Bachmann, Matti Picus.
  (Github issues :issue:`4454`, :issue:`4477`, :issue:`4478`, :issue:`4509`, :issue:`4517`)

* An initial set of adaptations for GraalVM Python was implemented.  Note that
  this does not imply any general support for this target or that your code
  will work at all in this environment.  But testing should be possible now.
  Patch by David Woods.  (Github issue :issue:`4328`)

* A work-around for StacklessPython < 3.8 was disabled in Py3.8 and later.
  (Github issue :issue:`4329`)


Initial support for Limited API
-------------------------------

CPython provides a stable, limited subset of its C-API as the so-called Limited API.
This C-API comes with the guarantee of a stable ABI, meaning that extensions modules
that were compiled for one version of CPython can also be imported in later versions
without recompilation.

There is initial support for this in Cython.  By defining the ``CYTHON_LIMITED_API``
macro, Cython cuts down its C-API usage and tries to adhere to the Limited C-API,
probably at the cost of a bit of performance.
In order to get full benefit from the limited API you will also need to define the
CPython macro ``Py_LIMITED_API`` to a specific CPython compatibility version,
which additionally restricts the C-API during the C compilation,
thus enforcing the forward compatibility of the extension module.

Note that "initial support" in Cython really means that setting the ``Py_LIMITED_API``
macro will almost certainly not yet work for your specific code.
There are limitations in the Limited C-API
that are difficult for Cython to generate C code for, so some advanced Python features
(like async code) may not lead to C code that cannot adhere to the Limited C-API, or
where Cython simply does not know yet how to adhere to it.  Basically, if you get your
code to compile with both macros set, and it passes your test suite, then it should be
possible to import the extension module also in later CPython versions.

The experimental feature flags ``CYTHON_USE_MODULE_STATE`` and
``CYTHON_USE_TYPE_SPECS`` enable some individual aspects of the Limited API
implementation independently.

Related changes
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

* 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`)

* Limited API support was improved.
  Patches by Matthias Braun.  (Github issues :issue:`3693`, :issue:`3707`)

* New C feature flags: ``CYTHON_USE_MODULE_STATE``, ``CYTHON_USE_TYPE_SPECS``
  Both are currently considered experimental.
  (Github issue :issue:`3611`)

* ``_Py_TPFLAGS_HAVE_VECTORCALL`` was always set on extension types when using the limited API.
  Patch by David Woods.  (Github issue :issue:`4453`)

* Limited API C preprocessor warning is compatible with MSVC. Patch by
  Victor Molina Garcia.  (Github issue :issue:`4826`)

* The embedding code no longer calls deprecated C-API functions but uses the new ``PyConfig``
  API instead on CPython versions that support it (3.8+).
  Patch by Alexander Shadchin.  (Github issue :issue:`4895`)

* Some C code issue were resolved for the Limited API target.
  (Github issues :issue:`5264`, :issue:`5265`, :issue:`5266`)

* Conversion of Python ints to C ``int128`` is now always supported, although slow
  if dedicated C-API support is missing (``_PyLong_AsByteArray()``), specifically in
  the Limited C-API.
  (Github issue :issue:`5419`)

* Custom buffer slot methods are now supported in the Limited C-API of Python 3.9+.
  Patch by Lisandro Dalcin.  (Github issue :issue:`5422`)


Improved fidelity to Python semantics
-------------------------------------

and `PEP-560`_ (Github issues :issue:`2753`, :issue:`3537`, :issue:`3764`) was also improved.

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`).  This covers changes such as using the
``print``-function instead of the ``print``-statement, and integer-integer
division giving a floating point answer. Most of these changes were available
in earlier versions of Cython but are now the default.

Cython 3.0.0 also aligns its own language semantics more closely with Python, in particular:

* the power operator has changed to give a result matching what Python does rather than
  keeping the same types as the input (as in C),
* operator overloading of ``cdef classes`` behaves much more like Python classes,
* Cython's behaviour when using type annotations aligns more closely with their
  standard use in Python.

* 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`)

* Pickling unbound methods of Python classes failed.
  Patch by Pierre Glaser.  (Github issue :issue:`2972`)

* 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`)

* 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`)

* 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()``.

* 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.

* The ``cython.view.array`` type supports inheritance.
  Patch by David Woods.  (Github issue :issue:`3413`)

* The builtin ``abs()`` function can now be used on C numbers in nogil code.
  Patch by Elliott Sales de Andrade.  (Github issue :issue:`2748`)

* 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`)

* Inlined properties can be defined for external extension types.
  Patch by Matti Picus. (Github issue :issue:`2640`, redone later in :issue:`3571`)

* Unicode module names and imports are supported.
  Patch by David Woods.  (Github issue :issue:`3119`)

* ``__arg`` argument names in methods were not mangled with the class name.
  Patch by David Woods.  (Github issue :issue:`1382`)

* With ``language_level=3/3str``, Python classes without explicit base class
  are now new-style (type) classes also in Py2.  Previously, they were created
  as old-style (non-type) classes.
  (Github issue :issue:`3530`)

* Conditional blocks in Python code that depend on ``cython.compiled`` are
  eliminated at an earlier stage, which gives more freedom in writing
  replacement Python code.
  Patch by David Woods.  (Github issue :issue:`3507`)

* Python private name mangling now falls back to unmangled names for non-Python
  globals, since double-underscore names are not uncommon in C.  Unmangled Python
  names are also still found as a legacy fallback but produce a warning.
  Patch by David Woods.  (Github issue :issue:`3548`)

* The ``print`` statement (not the ``print()`` function) is allowed in
  ``nogil`` code without an explicit ``with gil`` section.

* ``repr()`` was assumed to return ``str`` instead of ``unicode`` with ``language_level=3``.
  (Github issue :issue:`3736`)

* Type inference now understands that ``a, *b = x`` assigns a list to ``b``.

* No/single argument functions now accept keyword arguments by default in order
  to comply with Python semantics.  The marginally faster calling conventions
  ``METH_NOARGS`` and ``METH_O`` that reject keyword arguments are still available
  with the directive ``@cython.always_allow_keywords(False)``.
  (Github issue :issue:`3090`)

* Special methods for binary operators now follow Python semantics.
  Rather than e.g. a single ``__add__`` method for cdef classes, where
  "self" can be either the first or second argument, one can now define
  both ``__add__`` and ``__radd__`` as for standard Python classes.
  This behavior can be disabled with the ``c_api_binop_methods`` directive
  to return to the previous semantics in Cython code (available from Cython
  0.29.20), or the reversed method (``__radd__``) can be implemented in
  addition to an existing two-sided operator method (``__add__``) to get a
  backwards compatible implementation.
  (Github issue :issue:`2056`)

* Generator expressions in pxd-overridden ``cdef`` functions could
  fail to compile.
  Patch by Matúš Valo.  (Github issue :issue:`3477`)

* Calls to ``.__class__()`` of a known extension type failed.
  Patch by David Woods.  (Github issue :issue:`3954`)

* Structs could not be instantiated with positional arguments in
  pure Python mode.

* Annotations were not exposed on annotated (data-)classes.
  Patch by matsjoyce.  (Github issue :issue:`4151`)

* Docstrings of ``cpdef`` enums are now copied to the enum class.
  Patch by matham.  (Github issue :issue:`3805`)

* ``asyncio.iscoroutinefunction()`` now recognises coroutine functions
  also when compiled by Cython.
  Patch by Pedro Marques da Luz.  (Github issue :issue:`2273`)

* Self-documenting f-strings (``=``) were implemented.
  Patch by davfsa.  (Github issue :issue:`3796`)

* ``cython.array`` supports simple, non-strided views.
  (Github issue :issue:`3775`)

* Attribute annotations in Python classes are now ignored, because they are
  just Python objects in a dict (as opposed to the fields of extension types).
  Patch by David Woods.  (Github issues :issue:`4196`, :issue:`4198`)

* A warning was added when ``__defaults__`` or ``__kwdefaults__`` of Cython compiled
  functions were re-assigned, since this does not current have an effect.
  Patch by David Woods.  (Github issue :issue:`2650`)

* The ``self`` argument of static methods in .pxd files was incorrectly typed.
  Patch by David Woods.  (Github issue :issue:`3174`)

* Default values for memory views arguments were not properly supported.
  Patch by Corentin Cadiou.  (Github issue :issue:`4313`)

* Python object types were not allowed as ``->`` return type annotations.
  Patch by Matúš Valo.  (Github issue :issue:`4433`)

* The excess arguments in a for-in-range loop with more than 3 arguments to `range()`
  were silently ignored.
  Original patch by Max Bachmann. (Github issue :issue:`4550`)

* Unsupported decorators on cdef functions were not rejected in recent releases.
  Patch by David Woods.  (Github issue :issue:`4322`)

  Patch by David Woods.  (Github issue :issue:`4370`)

* Decorators on inner functions were not evaluated in the right scope.
  Patch by David Woods.  (Github issue :issue:`4367`)

* Cython did not type the ``self`` argument in special binary methods.
  Patch by David Woods.  (Github issue :issue:`4434`)

* Circular imports of compiled modules could fail needlessly even when the import
  could already be resolved from ``sys.modules``.
  Patch by Syam Gadde.  (Github issue :issue:`4390`)

* ``__del__(self)`` on extension types now maps to ``tp_finalize`` in Python 3.
  Original patch by ax487.  (Github issue :issue:`3612`)

* Reusing an extension type attribute name as a method name is now an error.
  Patch by 0dminnimda.  (Github issue :issue:`4661`)

* When using type annotations, ``func(x: list)`` or ``func(x: ExtType)`` (and other
  Python builtin or extension types) no longer allow ``None`` as input argument to ``x``.
  This is consistent with the normal typing semantics in Python, and was a common gotcha
  for users who did not expect ``None`` to be allowed as input.  To allow ``None``, use
  ``typing.Optional`` as in ``func(x: Optional[list])``.  ``None`` is also automatically
  allowed when it is used as default argument, i.e. ``func(x: list = None)``.
  ``int`` and ``float`` are now also recognised in type annotations and restrict the
  value type at runtime.  They were previously ignored.
  Note that, for backwards compatibility reasons, the new behaviour does not apply when using
  Cython's C notation, as in ``func(list x)``.  Here, ``None`` is still allowed, as always.
  Also, the ``annotation_typing`` directive can now be enabled and disabled more finely
  within the module.
  (Github issues :issue:`2696`, :issue:`3883`, :issue:`4606`, :issue:`4669`, :issue:`4886`)

* The parser allowed some invalid spellings of ``...``.
  Patch by 0dminnimda.  (Github issue :issue:`4868`)

* The ``__self__`` attribute of fused functions reports its availability correctly
  with ``hasattr()``.  Patch by David Woods.
  (Github issue :issue:`4808`)

* Several optimised string methods failed to accept ``None`` as arguments to their options.
  Test patch by Kirill Smelkov.  (Github issue :issue:`4737`)

* Cython generators and coroutines now identify as ``CO_ASYNC_GENERATOR``,
  ``CO_COROUTINE`` and ``CO_GENERATOR`` accordingly.
  (Github issue :issue:`4902`)

* Memory views and the internal Cython array type now identify as ``collections.abc.Sequence``.
  Patch by David Woods.  (Github issue :issue:`4817`)

* Context managers can be written in parentheses.
  Patch by David Woods.  (Github issue :issue:`4814`)

* Some parser issues were resolved.
  (Github issue :issue:`4992`)

* Unused ``**kwargs`` arguments did not show up in ``locals()``.
  (Github issue :issue:`4899`)

* Relative imports failed in compiled ``__init__.py`` package modules.
  Patch by Matúš Valo.  (Github issue :issue:`3442`)

* Extension types are now explicitly marked as immutable types to prevent them from
  being considered mutable.
  Patch by Max Bachmann.  (Github issue :issue:`5023`)

* ``int(Py_UCS4)`` returned the code point instead of the parsed digit value.
  (Github issue :issue:`5216`)

* Calling bound classmethods of builtin types could fail trying to call the unbound method.
  (Github issue :issue:`5051`)

* Generator expressions and comprehensions now look up their outer-most iterable
  on creation, as Python does, and not later on start, as they did previously.
  (Github issue :issue:`1159`)

* Bound C methods can now coerce to Python objects.
  (Github issues :issue:`4890`, :issue:`5062`)

* ``cpdef`` enums can now be pickled.
  (Github issue :issue:`5120`)

* The Python Enum of a ``cpdef enum`` now inherits from ``IntFlag`` to better match
  both Python and C semantics of enums.
  (Github issue :issue:`2732`)

* The special ``__*pow__`` methods now support the 2- and 3-argument variants.
  (Github issue :issue:`5160`)

* The ``**`` power operator now behaves more like in Python by returning the correct complex
  result if required by math.  A new ``cpow`` directive was added to turn on the previous
  C-like behaviour.
  (Github issue :issue:`4936`)

* With ``language_level=2``, imports of modules in packages could return the wrong module in Python 3.
  (Github issue :issue:`5308`)

* Function signatures containing a type like `tuple[()]` could not be printed.
  Patch by Lisandro Dalcin.  (Github issue :issue:`5355`)

* ``__qualname__`` and ``__module__`` were not available inside of class bodies.
  (Github issue :issue:`4447`)

* A new directive ``embedsignature.format`` was added to select the format of the
  docstring embedded signatures between ``python``, ``c`` and argument ``clinic``.
  Patch by Lisandro Dalcin.  (Github issue :issue:`5415`)

* ctuples can now be assigned from arbitrary sequences, not just Python tuples.


Improvements in Pure Python mode
--------------------------------

Cython strives to be able to
parse newer Python constructs for use with its `pure python`_ mode, which
has been a focus. In short, this allows to compile a wider range of Python
code into optimized C code.

.. _`pure python`: https://cython.readthedocs.io/en/latest/src/tutorial/pure.html

Pure python mode gained many new features and was generally overhauled to make
it as capable as the Cython syntax.  Except for using external C/C++ libraries,
it should now be possible to express all Cython code and use all features in
regular Python syntax.  The very few remaining exceptions or bugs are noted in
the documentation.

Additionally, the documentation has been substantially updated
(primarily by Matúš Valo and 0dminnimda) to show both the older Cython syntax
and pure Python syntax.

Related changes
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

* The ``cython.declare()`` and ``cython.cast()`` functions could fail in pure mode.
  Patch by Dmitry Shesterkin.  (Github issue :issue:`3244`)

* Fused argument types were not correctly handled in type annotations and
  ``cython.locals()``.
  Patch by David Woods.  (Github issues :issue:`3391`, :issue:`3142`)

* ``nogil`` functions now avoid acquiring the GIL on function exit if possible
  even if they contain ``with gil`` blocks.
  (Github issue :issue:`3554`)

* The ``@returns()`` decorator propagates exceptions by default for suitable C
  return types when no ``@exceptval()`` is defined.
  (Github issues :issue:`3625`, :issue:`3664`)

* Extension types inheriting from Python classes could not safely
  be exposed in ``.pxd``  files.
  (Github issue :issue:`4106`)

* Default arguments of methods were not exposed for introspection.
  Patch by Vladimir Matveev.  (Github issue :issue:`4061`)

* Literal list assignments to pointer variables declared in PEP-526
  notation failed to compile.

* The type ``cython.Py_hash_t`` is available in Python mode.

* A ``cimport`` is now supported in pure Python code by prefixing the
  imported module name with ``cython.cimports.``, e.g.
  ``from cython.cimports.libc.math import sin``.
  (GIthub issue :issue:`4190`)

* Directives starting with ``optimization.*`` in pure Python mode were incorrectly named.
  It should have been ``optimize.*``.
  Patch by David Woods.  (Github issue :issue:`4258`)

* Invalid and misspelled ``cython.*`` module names were not reported as errors.
  (Github issue :issue:`4947`)

* The ``annotation_typing`` directive was missing in pure Python mode.
  Patch by 0dminnimda.  (Github issue :issue:`5194`)

* Memoryviews with ``object`` item type were not supported in Python type declarations.
  (Github issue :issue:`4907`)

* Subscripted builtin types in type declarations (like ``list[float]``) are now
  better supported.
  (Github issue :issue:`5058`)

* Unknown type annotations (e.g. because of typos) now emit a warning at compile time.
  Patch by Matúš Valo.  (Github issue :issue:`5070`)

* ``typing.Optional`` could fail on tuple types.
  (Github issue :issue:`5263`)

* ``from cython cimport as ¦à` could lead to imported names not being found in annotations.
  Patch by Chia-Hsiang Cheng.  (Github issue :issue:`5235`)

* Simple tuple types like ``(int, int)`` are no longer accepted in Python annotations
  and require the Python notation instead (e.g. ``tuple[cython.int, cython.int]``).
  (Github issue :issue:`5397`)

* The Python implementation of ``cimport cython.cimports¦à` could raise an ``ImportError``
  instead of an ``AttributeError`` when looking up package variable names.
  Patch by Matti Picus.  (Github issue :issue:`5411`)

* A new decorator ``@cython.with_gil`` is available in Python code to match the ``with gil``
  function declaration in Cython syntax.

* ``with gil`` and ``with nogil(flag)`` now accept their flag argument also in Python code.
  Patch by Matúš Valo.  (Github issue :issue:`5113`)


Code generation changes
-----------------------

Cython has gained several major new features that speed up both the development
and the code. Dataclasses have gained an extension type equivalent that implements
the dataclass features in C code.  Similarly, the ``@functools.total_ordering``
decorator to an extension type will implement the comparison functions in C.

Finally, NumPy ufuncs can be generated from simple computation functions with the
new ``@cython.ufunc`` decorator.

Related changes
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

* ``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`)

* The names of Cython's internal types (functions, generator, coroutine, etc.)
  are now qualified with the module name of the internal Cython module that is
  used for sharing them across Cython implemented modules, for example
  ``_cython_3_0a5.coroutine``.  This was done to avoid making them look like
  homeless builtins, to help with debugging, and in order to avoid a CPython
  warning according to https://bugs.python.org/issue20204

* A ``@cython.total_ordering`` decorator has been added to automatically
  implement all comparison operators, similar to ``functools.total_ordering``.
  Patch by Spencer Brown.  (Github issue :issue:`2090`)

* A new decorator ``@cython.dataclasses.dataclass`` was implemented that provides
  compile time dataclass generation capabilities to ``cdef`` classes (extension types).
  Patch by David Woods.  (Github issue :issue:`2903`).  ``kw_only`` dataclasses
  added by Yury Sokov.  (Github issue :issue:`4794`)

* A new function decorator ``@cython.ufunc`` automatically generates a (NumPy) ufunc that
  applies the calculation function to an entire memoryview.
  (Github issue :issue:`4758`)

* Generated NumPy ufuncs could crash for large arrays due to incorrect GIL handling.
  (Github issue :issue:`5328`)

* Some invalid directive usages are now detected and rejected, e.g. using ``@ccall``
  together with ``@cfunc``, and applying ``@cfunc`` to a ``@ufunc``.  Cython also
  warns now when a directive is applied needlessly.
  (Github issue :issue:`5399` et al.)

* The normal ``@dataclasses.dataclass`` and ``@functools.total_ordering`` decorators
  can now be used on extension types.  Using the corresponding ``@cython.*`` decorator
  will automatically turn a Python class into an extension type (no need for ``@cclass``).
  (Github issue :issue:`5292`)


Interaction with numpy
----------------------

The NumPy declarations (``cimport numpy``) were moved over to the NumPy project in order
to allow version specific changes on their side.

One effect is that Cython does not use deprecated NumPy C-APIs any more.  Thus, you
can define the respective NumPy C macro to get rid of the compatibility warning at
C compile time.

Related changes
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

* ``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.

* Deprecated NumPy API usages were removed from ``numpy.pxd``.
  Patch by Matti Picus.  (Github issue :issue:`3365`)

* ``numpy.import_array()`` is automatically called if ``numpy`` has been cimported
  and it has not been called in the module code.  This is intended as a hidden
  fail-safe so user code should continue to call ``numpy.import_array``.
  Patch by David Woods.  (Github issue :issue:`3524`)

* The outdated getbuffer/releasebuffer implementations in the NumPy
  declarations were removed so that buffers declared as ``ndarray``
  now use the normal implementation in NumPy.

* Several macros/functions declared in the NumPy API are now usable without
  holding the GIL.

* The ``numpy`` declarations were updated.
  Patch by Brock Mendel.  (Github issue :issue:`3630`)

* ``ndarray.shape`` failed to compile with Pythran and recent NumPy.
  Patch by Serge Guelton.  (Github issue :issue:`3762`)

* A C-level compatibility issue with recent NumPy versions was resolved.
  Patch by David Woods.  (Github issue :issue:`4396`)

* The generated modules no longer import NumPy internally when using
  fused types but no memoryviews.
  Patch by David Woods.  (Github issue :issue:`4935`)

* ``np.long_t`` and ``np.ulong_t`` were removed from the NumPy declarations,
  syncing Cython with upstream NumPy v1.25.0.  The aliases were confusing
  since they could mean different things on different platforms.


Exception handling
------------------

Cython-implemented C functions now propagate exceptions by default, rather than
swallowing them in non-object returning function if the user forgot to add an
``except`` declaration to the signature.  This was a long-standing source of bugs,
but can require adding the ``noexcept`` declaration to existing functions if
exception propagation is really undesired.
(Github issue :issue:`4280`)

To ease the transition for this break in behaviour, it is possible to set
``legacy_implicit_noexcept=True``.

Related changes
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

* The ``assert`` statement is allowed in ``nogil`` sections.  Here, the GIL is
  only acquired if the ``AssertionError`` is really raised, which means that the
  evaluation of the asserted condition only allows C expressions.

* The exception handling annotation ``except +*`` was broken.
  Patch by David Woods.  (Github issues :issue:`3065`, :issue:`3066`)

* Improve conversion between function pointers with non-identical but
  compatible exception specifications.  Patches by David Woods.
  (Github issues :issue:`4770`, :issue:`4689`)

* Exceptions within for-loops that run over memoryviews could lead to a ref-counting error.
  Patch by David Woods.  (Github issue :issue:`4662`)

* To opt out of the new, safer exception handling behaviour, legacy code can set the new
  directive ``legacy_implicit_noexcept=True`` for a transition period to keep the
  previous, unsafe behaviour.  This directive will eventually be removed in a later release.
  Patch by Matúš Valo.  (Github issue :issue:`5094`)

* Cython implemented C functions now propagate exceptions by default, rather than
  swallowing them in non-object returning function if the user forgot to add an
  ``except`` declaration to the signature.  This was a long-standing source of bugs,
  but can require adding the ``noexcept`` declaration to existing functions if
  exception propagation is really undesired.
  (Github issue :issue:`4280`)

* The code ``except +nogil`` (declaring a C++ exception handler function called ``nogil``)
  is now rejected because it is almost certainly a typo from ``except + nogil``.
  (Github issue :issue:`5430`)

* Handling freshly raised exceptions that didn't have a traceback yet could crash.
  (Github issue :issue:`5495`)


Optimizations
-------------

Generating efficient code has long been a goal of Cython, and 3.0 continues that.
Probably the most significant change is that Cython functions use the PEP-590 vectorcall
protocol on Python 3.7 and higher.

Related changes
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

* Name lookups in class bodies no longer go through an attribute lookup.
  Patch by Jeroen Demeyer.  (Github issue :issue:`3100`)

* 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`)

* 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`)

* Multiplication of Python numbers with small constant integers is faster.
  (Github issue :issue:`2808`)

* 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`)

* The ``str()`` builtin now calls ``PyObject_Str()`` instead of going
  through a Python call.
  Patch by William Ayd.  (Github issue :issue:`3279`)

* Reimports of already imported modules are substantially faster.
  (Github issue :issue:`2854`)

* 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`)

* The fastcall/vectorcall protocols are used for several internal Python calls.
  (Github issue :issue:`3540`)

  (Github issue :issue:`3798`)

* Multiplying a sequence by a C integer avoids creating and intermediate Python integer.

* The reference counting of memory views involved useless overhead.
  (Github issue :issue:`5510`)


Compatibility with C
--------------------

The support for C features like ``const`` or ``volatile`` was substantially improved.

The generated code has been cleared up to reduce the number of C compiler warnings emitted.

  Patch by David Woods.  (Github issues :issue:`3430`, :issue:`3522`)

* The C property feature has been rewritten and now requires C property methods
  to be declared ``inline`` (:issue:`3571`).

* Cython generates C compiler branch hints for unlikely user defined if-clauses
  in more cases, when they end up raising exceptions unconditionally. This now
  includes exceptions being raised in ``nogil``/``with gil`` sections.

* Several issues with arithmetic overflow handling were resolved, including
  undefined behaviour in C.
  Patch by Sam Sneddon.  (Github issue :issue:`3588`)

* Intel C compilers could complain about unsupported gcc pragmas.
  Patch by Ralf Gommers.  (Github issue :issue:`5052`)

  now uses ``memcpy()``.
  Patch by Chia-Hsiang Cheng.  (Github issue :issue:`5178`)

  compile errors on Windows.
  Patch by yudonglin.  (Github issue :issue:`5169`)

  Patches by Matt Tyson, Lisandro Dalcin, Philipp Wagner, Matti Picus et al.
  (Github issues :issue:`5417`, :issue:`5418`, :issue:`5421`, :issue:`5437`, :issue:`5438`, :issue:`5443`)

* Some typedef declarations for libc function types were fixed.
  (Github issue :issue:`5498`)

* With MSVC, Cython no longer enables C-Complex support by accident (which is not supported there).
  (Github issue :issue:`5512`)


Compatibility with C++
----------------------

Many C++ features like forwarding references or ``std::move`` are now supported or even used
internally, if possible.

Cython's wrapping of the C++ standard library has been extended.

A new `cpp_locals`` directive enables C++ local variables to initialized when assigned to
rather than at the start of the function, making them behave more like Python variables,
and also removing the requirement for them to be default constructible.

Related changes
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

* C++ ``typeid()`` failed for fused types.
  Patch by David Woods.  (Github issue :issue:`3203`)

  regardless of being used as a method or not.
  Patch by David Woods.  (Github issue :issue:`4036`)

* Overloaded C++ static methods were lost.
  Patch by Ashwin Srinath.  (Github :issue:`1851`)

  Patch by David Woods.  (Github issue :issue:`4212`)

* C++17 execution policies are supported in ``libcpp.algorithm``.
  Patch by Ashwin Srinath.  (Github issue :issue:`3790`)

* A new directive ``cpp_locals`` was added that allows local C++ variables to
  be lazily initialised (without default constructor), thus making them behave
  more like Python variables.
  Patch by David Woods.  (Github issue :issue:`4160`)

* Generated utility code for C++ conversions no longer depends on several user
  definable directives that may make it behave incorrectly.
  Patch by David Woods.  (Github issue :issue:`4206`)

  its test coverage improved.
  Patch by David Woods.  (Github issues :issue:`4265`, :issue:`4266`)

  (Github issue :issue:`4717`)

* C++ iteration more safely stores the iterable in temporary variables.
  Patch by Xavier.  (Github issue :issue:`3828`)

* C++ post-increment/-decrement operators were not correctly looked up on declared C++
  classes, thus allowing Cython declarations to be missing for them and incorrect C++
  code to be generated.
  Patch by Max Bachmann.  (Github issue :issue:`4536`)

* ``cdef public`` functions used an incorrect linkage declaration in C++.
  Patch by Maximilien Colange.  (Github issue :issue:`1839`)

  Patch by Isuru Fernando.  (Github issue :issue:`5478`)


Commandline Interface
---------------------

A number of new options were added to the ``cython`` and ``cythonize``
commands.

Related changes
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

* The command line parser was rewritten and modernised using ``argparse``.
  Patch by Egor Dranischnikow.  (Github issue :issue:`2952`, :issue:`3001`)

* ``cygdb`` gives better error messages when it fails to initialise the
  Python runtime support in gdb.
  Patch by Volker Weissmann.  (Github issue :issue:`3489`)

* ``--no-docstrings`` option added to ``cythonize`` script.
  Original patch by mo-han.  (Github issue :issue:`2889`)

* 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`)

* ``cygdb`` has a new option ``--skip-interpreter`` that allows using a different
  Python runtime than the one used to generate the debugging information.
  Patch by Alessandro Molina.  (Github issue :issue:`4186`)

* ``cythonize()`` and the corresponding CLI command now regenerate the output files
  also when they already exist but were generated by a different Cython version.

* The ``cython`` and ``cythonize`` commands ignored non-existing input files without error.
  Patch by Matúš Valo.  (Github issue :issue:`4629`)

* ``cythonize --help`` now also prints information about the supported environment variables.
  Patch by Matúš Valo.  (Github issue :issue:`1711`)

* Using the ``--working`` option could lead to sources not being found.
  Patch by Lisandro Dalcin.  (Github issue :issue:`5365`)

* Passing a language level and directives on the command line lost the language level setting.
  Patch by Matúš Valo.  (Github issue :issue:`5484`)

* ``cython --version`` now prints the version to both stdout and stderr (unless that is a TTY).
  (Github issue :issue:`5504`)


Build integration
-----------------

Cython has made a number of improvements both to how it compiles itself
and how it integrates with external build tools.  Most notably Cython
has been moving to use ``setuptools`` instead of the deprecated/removed
``distutils`` where possible.

The new ``--depfile`` option generates dependency files to help integrate
Cython with other build tools.

Related changes
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

* Binary Linux wheels now follow the manylinux2010 standard.
  Patch by Alexey Stepanov.  (Github issue :issue:`3355`)

* 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`)

* 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 Cython AST code serialiser class ``CodeWriter`` in ``Cython.CodeWriter``
  supports more syntax nodes.

* Parallel builds of Cython itself (``setup.py build_ext -j N``) failed on Windows.

* 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`)

* ``.pxd`` files can now be :ref:`versioned <versioning>` by adding an
  extension like "``.cython-30.pxd``" to prevent older Cython versions (than
  3.0 in this case) from picking them up.  (Github issue :issue:`3577`)

* The Cython ``CodeWriter`` can now handle more syntax constructs.
  Patch by Tao He.  (Github issue :issue:`3514`)

* The Cython ``CodeWriter`` mishandled no-argument ``return`` statements.
  Patch by Tao He.  (Github issue :issue:`3795`)

* Cython now detects when existing output files were not previously generated
  by itself and refuses to overwrite them.  It is a common mistake to name
  the module file of a wrapper after the library (source file) that it wraps,
  which can lead to surprising errors when the file gets overwritten.

* The ``Cython.Build.BuildExecutable`` tool no longer executes the program automatically.
  Use ``cythonrun`` for that.

* Python modules were not automatically recompiled when only their ``.pxd`` file changed.
  Patch by Golden Rockefeller.  (Github issue :issue:`1428`)

* An unnecessary slow-down at import time was removed from ``Cython.Distutils``.
  Original patch by Anthony Sottile.  (Github issue :issue:`4224`)

* A compiler crash when running Cython thread-parallel from distutils was resolved.
  (Github issue :issue:`4503`)

* An incompatibility with recent coverage.py versions was resolved.
  Patch by David Woods.  (Github issue :issue:`4440`)

* ``pyximport`` now uses ``cythonize()`` internally.
  Patch by Matúš Valo.  (Github issue :issue:`2304`)

* ``Cython.Distutils.build_ext`` now uses ``cythonize()`` internally (previously
  known as ``new_build_ext``), while still supporting the options that were
  available in the old implementation (``old_build_ext``).
  Patch by Matúš Valo.  (Github issue :issue:`3541`)

* Improve compatibility between classes pickled in Cython 3.0 and 0.29.x
  by accepting MD5, SHA-1 and SHA-256 checksums.
  (Github issue :issue:`4680`)

* ``pyximport`` failed for long filenames on Windows.
  Patch by Matti Picus.  (Github issue :issue:`4630`)

* A new Cython build option ``--cython-compile-minimal`` was added to compile only a
  smaller set of Cython's own modules, which can be used to reduce the package
  and install size.

* The environment variable ``CYTHON_FORCE_REGEN=1`` can be used to force ``cythonize``
  to regenerate the output files regardless of modification times and changes.

* 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`)

* Wheels now include a compiled parser again, which increases their size a little
  but gives about a 10% speed-up when running Cython.

* The wheel building process was migrated to use the ``cibuildwheel`` tool.
  Patch by Thomas Li.  (Github issue :issue:`4736`)

* ``setup.cfg`` was missing from the source distribution.
  (Github issue :issue:`5199`)

* Extended glob paths with ``/**/`` and ``\**\`` for finding source files failed on Windows.

* Coverage analysis failed in projects with a separate source subdirectory.
  Patch by Sviatoslav Sydorenko and Ruben Vorderman.  (Github issue :issue:`3636`)

* Cython could crash when finding import files with dots in their names.
  Patch by Matúš Valo.  (Github issue :issue:`5396`)

* A module loading problem with ``cython.inline()`` on Windows was resolved.


Deprecations
------------

Some older features of Cython have been deprecated. Most notable are the
compile time ``DEF`` and ``IF`` statements, although we emphasise that
they will remain until a good alternative exists for all their use-cases.

Related changes
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

* Dotted filenames for qualified module names (``pkg.mod.pyx``) are deprecated.
  Use the normal Python package directory layout instead.
  (Github issue :issue:`2686`)

* "Declaration after use" is now an error for variables.
  Patch by David Woods.  (Github issue :issue:`3976`)

* Variables can no longer be declared with ``cpdef``.
  Patch by David Woods.  (Github issue :issue:`887`)

* The compile-time ``DEF`` and ``IF`` statements are deprecated and generate a warning.
  They should be replaced with normal constants, code generation or C macros.
  (Github issue :issue:`4310`)

* C-style array declarations (``cdef int a[4]``) are now (silently) deprecated in
  favour of the Java-style ``cdef int[4] a`` form.  The latter was always available
  and the Python type declaration syntax already used it exclusively (``a: int[4]``).
  Patch by Matúš Valo.  (Github issue :issue:`5248`)

* The undocumented, untested and apparently useless syntax
  ``from somemodule cimport class/struct/union somename`` was removed.  The type
  modifier is not needed here and a plain ``cimport`` of the name will do.
  (Github issue :issue:`4904`)


Editor support
--------------

Related changes
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

* C compiler warnings and errors are now shown in Jupyter notebooks.
  Patch by Egor Dranischnikow.  (Github issue :issue:`3751`)

* An endless loop in ``cython-mode.el`` was resolved.
  Patch by Johannes Mueller.  (Github issue :issue:`3218`)

* The Emacs Cython mode file ``cython-mode.el`` is now maintained in a separate repo:
  https://github.com/cython/emacs-cython-mode

* The C code shown in the annotated HTML output could lack the last C code line(s).


Other changes
-------------

* Memoryviews failed to compile when the ``cache_builtins`` feature was disabled.
  Patch by David Woods.  (Github issue :issue:`3406`)

* 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`)

* The Pythran ``shape`` attribute is supported.
  Patch by Serge Guelton.  (Github issue :issue:`3307`)

* ``--no-capture`` added to ``runtests.py`` to prevent stdout/stderr capturing
  during srctree tests.
  Patch by Matti Picus.  (Github issue :issue:`2701`)

* Decoding an empty bytes/char* slice with large bounds could crash.
  Patch by Sam Sneddon.  (Github issue :issue:`3534`)

  Patch by Sam Sneddon.  (Github issue :issue:`3531`)

* Complex buffer item types of structs of arrays could fail to validate.
  Patch by Leo and smutch.  (Github issue :issue:`1407`)

* Error handling in ``cython.array`` creation was improved to avoid calling
  C-API functions with an error held.

* Error handling early in the module init code could lead to a crash.

* Exception position reporting could run into race conditions on threaded code.
  It now uses function-local variables again.

* A reference leak on import failures was resolved.
  Patch by Max Bachmann.  (Github issue :issue:`4056`)

* Casting to ctuples is now allowed.
  Patch by David Woods.  (Github issue :issue:`3808`)

* Some issues were resolved that could lead to duplicated C names.
  Patch by David Woods.  (Github issue :issue:`3716`, :issue:`3741`, :issue:`3734`)

* Inline functions and other code in ``.pxd`` files could accidentally
  inherit the compiler directives of the ``.pyx`` file that imported them.
  Patch by David Woods.  (Github issue :issue:`1071`)

* Parts of the documentation were (and are being) rewritten to show the
  Cython language syntax next to the equivalent Python syntax.
  Patches by 0dminnimda and Matúš Valo.  (Github issue :issue:`4187`)

* A name collision when including multiple generated API header files was resolved.
  Patch by David Woods.  (Github issue :issue:`4308`)

* Very early errors during module initialisation could lead to crashes.
  Patch by David Woods.  (Github issue :issue:`4377`)

* Type errors when passing memory view arguments could leak buffer references.
  Patch by David Woods.  (Github issue :issue:`4296`)

* The GIL can now safely be released inside of ``nogil`` functions (which may actually
  be called with the GIL held at runtime).
  Patch by David Woods.  (Github issue :issue:`4137`)

* The return type of a fused function is no longer ignored for function pointers,
  since it is relevant when passing them e.g. as argument into other fused functions.
  Patch by David Woods.  (Github issue :issue:`4644`)

* Using memoryview arguments in closures of inner functions could lead to ref-counting errors.
  Patch by David Woods.  (Github issue :issue:`4798`)

* Decorators like ``@cfunc`` and ``@ccall`` could leak into nested functions and classes.
  Patch by David Woods.  (Github issue :issue:`4092`)

* Cython now uses a ``.dev0`` version suffix for unreleased source installations.

* The ``Tempita`` module no longer contains HTML processing capabilities, which
  were found to be broken in Python 3.8 and later.
  Patch by Marcel Stimberg.  (Github issue :issue:`3309`)

* Nesting fused types in other fused types could fail to specialise the inner type.
  (Github issue :issue:`4725`)

* Iterating over memoryviews in generator expressions could leak a buffer reference.
  (Github issue :issue:`4968`)

* The C ``float`` type was not inferred on assignments.
  (Github issue :issue:`5234`)

* Type checks for Python's ``memoryview`` type generated incorrect C code.
  (Github issues :issue:`5268`, :issue:`5270`)

* Auto-generated utility code didn't always have all required user defined types available.
  (Github issue :issue:`5269`)

* ``cimport_from_pyx`` could miss some declarations.
  Patch by Chia-Hsiang Cheng.  (Github issue :issue:`5318`)

* For-loops now release the internal reference to their list/tuple iterable before
  instead of after the ``else:`` clause.  This probably has no practical impact.
  (Github issue :issue:`5347`)

* Extension type hierarchies were generated in the wrong order, thus leading to compile issues.
  Patch by Lisandro Dalcin.  (Github issue :issue:`5395`)

* The FAQ page was moved from the GitHub Wiki to the regular documentation
  to make it more visible.

py-cython: updated to 0.29.33

0.29.33 (2023-01-06)
====================

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`)

* ``from module import *`` failed in 0.29.31 when using memoryviews.


0.29.31 (2022-07-27)
====================

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.

Bugs fixed
----------

* Use ``importlib.util.find_spec()`` instead of the deprecated ``importlib.find_loader()``
  function when setting up the package path at import-time.

* Require the C compiler to support the two-arg form of ``va_start``
  on Python 3.10 and higher.

* Make ``fused_type`` subscriptable in Shadow.py.

* Fix the incorrect code generation of the target type in ``bytearray`` loops.

* Atomic refcounts for memoryviews were not used on some GCC versions by accident.

* Silence some GCC ``-Wconversion`` warnings in C utility code.

* Tuple multiplication was ignored in expressions such as ``[*(1,) * 2]``.

* Calling ``append`` methods on extension types could fail to find the method
  in some cases.

* Ensure that object buffers (e.g. ``ndarray[object, ndim=1]``) containing
  ``NULL``  pointers are safe to use, returning ``None`` instead of the ``NULL``
  pointer.

* Using memoryview typed arguments in inner functions is now rejected as unsupported.

* Compilation could fail on systems (e.g. FIPS) that block MD5 checksums at runtime.

* Experimental adaptations for the CPython "nogil" fork was added.
  Note that there is no official support for this in Cython 0.x.

0.29.30 (2022-05-16)
====================

Bugs fixed
----------
* The GIL handling changes in 0.29.29 introduced a regression where
  objects could be deallocated without holding the GIL.


0.29.29 (2022-05-16)
====================

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.

Bugs fixed
----------
* Function definitions in ``finally:`` clauses were not correctly generated.
* A case where C-API functions could be called with a live exception set was fixed.
* Pickles can now be exchanged again with those generated from Cython 3.0 modules.
* Cython now correctly generates Python methods for both the provided regular and
  reversed special numeric methods of extension types.
* Calling unbound extension type methods without arguments could raise an
  ``IndexError`` instead of a ``TypeError``.
* Calling unbound ``.__contains__()`` super class methods on some builtin base
  types could trigger an infinite recursion.
* The C union type in pure Python mode mishandled some field names.
* Allow users to overwrite the C macro ``_USE_MATH_DEFINES``.
* Improved compatibility with CPython 3.10/11.
* Docstrings of descriptors are now provided in PyPy 7.3.9.

* The ``PyUnicode_GET_LENGTH()`` macro was missing from the ``cpython.*`` declarations.

* 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.

* The ``@classmethod`` decorator no longer rejects unknown input from other decorators.
* Fused types could leak into unrelated usages.
* Now uses ``Py_SET_SIZE()`` and ``Py_SET_REFCNT()`` in Py3.9+ to avoid low-level
  write access to these object fields.

* 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.
* 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.
* Cython's built-in OpenMP functions were not translated inside of call arguments.
* Complex buffer item types of structs of arrays could fail to validate.
* Decorators were not allowed on nested `async def` functions.
* C-tuples could use invalid C struct casting.
* Optimised ``%d`` string formatting into f-strings failed on float values.
* Optimised aligned string formatting (``%05s``, ``%-5s``) failed.
* When importing the old Cython ``build_ext`` integration with distutils, the
  additional command line arguments leaked into the regular command.
* When using the ``CYTHON_NO_PYINIT_EXPORT`` option in C++, the module init function
  was not declared as ``extern "C"``.
* Three missing timedelta access macros were added in ``cpython.datetime``.

Bugs fixed

* Fix compile error in CPython 3.8b2.

* Invalid C code generated for lambda functions in cdef methods.

* Support slice handling in newer Pythran versions.

* A reference leak in power-of-2 calculation was fixed.

* 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.

* Setting language_level=2 in a file did not work if language_level=3
  was enabled globally before.

py-cython: updated to 0.29

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 CythonÑÔ 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.
Memoryviews are supported in PEP-484/526 style type declarations.
@cython.nogil is supported as a C-function decorator in Python code.
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.
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 ãàÏÔtrãàin both Py2 and Py3, and the builtin ãàÏÔtrãàtype 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.
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.
(In-)equality comparisons of objects to integer literals are faster.
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.
The coverage plugin considers more C file extensions such as .cc and .cxx.
The cythonize command accepts compile time variable values (as set by DEF) through the new -E option.
pyximport can import from namespace packages.
Some missing numpy and CPython C-API declarations were added.
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
%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 CythonãàÑÔ version in the same style as PY_HEX_VERSION.
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.

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.
Crash when importing a module under Stackless Python that was built for CPython.
2-value slicing of typed sequences failed if the start or stop index was None.
Multiplied string literals lost their factor when they are part of another constant expression (e.g. ãàÏÙãà* 10 + ãàÏÚãà=> ãàÏÙyãà.
String formatting with the ãàãàoperator didnãàÑÕ call the special __rmod__() method if the right side is a string subclass that implements it.
The directive language_level=3 did not apply to the first token in the source file.
Overriding cpdef methods did not work in Python subclasses with slots. Note that this can have a performance impact on calls from Cython code.
Fix declarations of builtin or C types using strings in pure python mode.
Generator expressions and lambdas failed to compile in @cfunc functions.
Global names with const types were not excluded from star-import assignments which could lead to invalid C code.
Several internal function signatures were fixed that lead to warnings in gcc-8.
The numpy helper functions set_array_base() and get_array_base() were adapted to the current numpy C-API recommendations.
Some NumPy related code was updated to avoid deprecated API usage.
Several C++ STL declarations were extended and corrected.
C lines of the module init function were unconditionally not reported in exception stack traces.
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.
The source file encoding detection could get confused if the c_string_encoding directive appeared within the first two lines.
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 ãàstrãà 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.
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%.

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.
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.
Fixed compatibility with PyPy 5.11.

Other changes
The NumPy tutorial was rewritten to use memoryviews instead of the older buffer declaration syntax.

0.28:
Cdef classes can now multiply inherit from ordinary Python classes.
Type inference is now supported for Pythran compiled NumPy expressions.
The const modifier can be applied to memoryview declarations to allow read-only buffers as input.
C code in the docstring of a cdef extern block is copied verbatimly into the generated file. Patch by Jeroen Demeyer.
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.
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.
The new TSS C-API in CPython 3.7 is supported and has been backported. Patch by Naotoshi Seo.
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.
dict.pop() is optimised. Original patch by Antoine Pitrou.
Iteration over sets and frozensets is optimised.
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.
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 ãàãàoperator 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.
The warning about repeated extern declarations is now visible by default.
The exception handling of the function types used by CPythonãàÑÔ 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.
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.

py-cython: update to 0.27

0.27:

Features added
* Extension module initialisation follows
  `PEP 489 <https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0489/>`_ in CPython 3.5+, which
  resolves several differences with regard to normal Python modules.  This makes
  the global names ``__file__`` and ``__path__`` correctly available to module
  level code and improves the support for module-level relative imports.
* Asynchronous generators (`PEP 525 <https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0525/>`_)
  and asynchronous comprehensions (`PEP 530 <https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0530/>`_)
  have been implemented.  Note that async generators require finalisation support
  in order to allow for asynchronous operations during cleanup, which is only
  available in CPython 3.6+.  All other functionality has been backported as usual.
* Variable annotations are now parsed according to
  `PEP 526 <https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0526/>`_.  Cython types (e.g.
  ``cython.int``) are evaluated as C type declarations and everything else as Python
  types.  This can be disabled with the directive ``annotation_typing=False``.
  Note that most complex PEP-484 style annotations are currently ignored.  This will
  change in future releases.
* Extension types (also in pure Python mode) can implement the normal special methods
  ``__eq__``, ``__lt__`` etc. for comparisons instead of the low-level ``__richcmp__``
  method.
* New decorator ``@cython.exceptval(x=None, check=False)`` that makes the signature
  declarations ``except x``, ``except? x`` and ``except *`` available to pure Python
  code.  Original patch by Antonio Cuni.
* Signature annotations are now included in the signature docstring generated by
  the ``embedsignature`` directive.
* The gdb support for Python code (``libpython.py``) was updated to the latest
  version in CPython 3.7 (git rev 5fe59f8).
* The compiler tries to find a usable exception return value for cdef functions
  with ``except *`` if the returned type allows it.  Note that this feature is subject
  to safety limitations, so it is still better to provide an explicit declaration.
* C functions can be assigned to function pointers with a compatible exception
  declaration, not only with exact matches.  A side-effect is that certain compatible
  signature overrides are now allowed and some more mismatches of exception signatures
  are now detected and rejected as errors that were not detected before.
* The IPython/Jupyter magic integration has a new option ``%%cython --pgo`` for profile
  guided optimisation. It compiles the cell with PGO settings for the C compiler,
  executes it to generate a runtime profile, and then compiles it again using that
  profile for C compiler optimisation.  Currently only tested with gcc.
* ``len(memoryview)`` can be used in nogil sections to get the size of the
  first dimension of a memory view (``shape[0]``).
* C++ classes can now contain (properly refcounted) Python objects.
* NumPy dtype subarrays are now accessible through the C-API.
* Resolves several issues with PyPy and uses faster async slots in PyPy3.

Bugs fixed
* Extension types that were cimported from other Cython modules could disagree
  about the order of fused cdef methods in their call table.  This could lead
  to wrong methods being called and potentially also crashes.  The fix required
  changes to the ordering of fused methods in the call table, which may break
  existing compiled modules that call fused cdef methods across module boundaries,
  if these methods were implemented in a different order than they were declared
  in the corresponding .pxd file.
* The exception state handling in generators and coroutines could lead to
  exceptions in the caller being lost if an exception was raised and handled
  inside of the coroutine when yielding.
* Loops over ``range(enum)`` were not converted into C for-loops.  Note that it
  is still recommended to use an explicit cast to a C integer type in this case.
* Error positions of names (e.g. variables) were incorrectly reported after the
  name and not at the beginning of the name.
* Compile time ``DEF`` assignments were evaluated even when they occur inside of
  falsy ``IF`` blocks.
* Disabling the line tracing from a trace function could fail.
* Several issues with the Pythran integration were resolved.
* abs(signed int) now returns a signed rather than unsigned int.
* Reading ``frame.f_locals`` of a Cython function (e.g. from a debugger or profiler
  could modify the module globals.
* Buffer type mismatches in the NumPy buffer support could leak a reference to the
  buffer owner.
* Using the "is_f_contig" and "is_c_contig" memoryview methods together could leave
  one of them undeclared.
* Compilation failed if the for-in-range loop target was not a variable but a more
  complex expression, e.g. an item assignment.
* Compile time evaluations of (partially) constant f-strings could show incorrect
  results.
* Escape sequences in raw f-strings (``fr'...'``) were resolved instead of passing
  them through as expected.
* Some ref-counting issues in buffer error handling have been resolved.

Other changes
* Type declarations in signature annotations are now parsed according to
  `PEP 484 <https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0484/>`_
  typing.  Only Cython types (e.g. ``cython.int``) and Python builtin types are
  currently considered as type declarations.  Everything else is ignored, but this
  will change in a future Cython release.
* The directive ``annotation_typing`` is now ``True`` by default, which enables
  parsing type declarations from annotations.
* This release no longer supports Python 3.2.

0.26.1:
Bugs fixed
* ``cython.view.array`` was missing ``.__len__()``.
* Extension types with a ``.pxd`` override for their ``__releasebuffer__`` slot
  (e.g. as provided by Cython for the Python ``array.array`` type) could leak
  a reference to the buffer owner on release, thus not freeing the memory.
* Auto-decoding failed in 0.26 for strings inside of C++ containers.
* Compile error when inheriting from C++ container types.
* Invalid C code in generators (declaration after code).
* Arithmetic operations on ``const`` integer variables could generate invalid code.
* Local variables with names of special Python methods failed to compile inside of
  closures.
* Problem with indirect Emacs buffers in cython-mode.
* Extension types named ``result`` or ``PickleError`` generated invalid unpickling code.
* Bazel integration failed to compile ``.py`` files.
* Some include directories and dependencies were referenced with their absolute paths
  in the generated files despite lying within the project directory.

0.26:

Features added

* Pythran can be used as a backend for evaluating NumPy array expressions.

* cdef classes now support pickling by default when possible.
  This can be disabled with the ``auto_pickle`` directive.

* Speed up comparisons of strings if their hash value is available.

* Support pyximport from zip files.

* IPython magic now respects the ``__all__`` variable and ignores
  names with leading-underscore (like ``import *`` does).

* ``abs()`` is optimised for C complex numbers.

* The display of C lines in Cython tracebacks can now be enabled at runtime
  via ``import cython_runtime; cython_runtime.cline_in_traceback=True``.
  The default has been changed to False.

* The overhead of calling fused types generic functions was reduced.

* "cdef extern" include files are now also searched relative to the current file.

* Optional optimization for re-aquiring the GIL, controlled by the
  `fast_gil` directive.

Bugs fixed
----------

* Item lookup/assignment with a unicode character as index that is typed
  (explicitly or implicitly) as ``Py_UCS4`` or ``Py_UNICODE`` used the
  integer value instead of the Unicode string value. Code that relied on
  the previous behaviour now triggers a warning that can be disabled by
  applying an explicit cast. (Github issue 1602)

* f-string processing was adapted to changes in PEP 498 and CPython 3.6.

* Invalid C code when decoding from UTF-16(LE/BE) byte strings.

* Unicode escapes in 'ur' raw-unicode strings were not resolved in Py2 code.

* File paths of code objects are now relative.

* Decorators of cdef class methods could be executed twice.

* Several warnings in the generated coder are now suppressed.

Other changes
-------------

* The ``unraisable_tracebacks`` option now defaults to ``True``.

* Coercion of C++ containers to Python is no longer automatic on attribute
  access (Github issue 1521).

* Access to Python attributes of cimported modules without the corresponding
  import is now a compile-time (rather than runtime) error.

* Do not use special dll linkage for "cdef public" functions.

* cdef/cpdef methods must match their declarations.  See Github Issue 1732.
  This is now a warning and will be an error in future releases.

Update py-cython to 0.24.

0.24 (2016-03-xx)
=================

Features added
--------------

* PEP 498: Literal String Formatting (f-strings).
  Original patch by Jelle Zijlstra.
  https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0498/

* PEP 515: Underscores as visual separators in number literals.
  https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0515/

* Parser was adapted to some minor syntax changes in Py3.6, e.g.
  https://bugs.python.org/issue9232

* The embedded C code comments that show the original source code
  can be discarded with the new directive ``emit_code_comments=False``.

* Cpdef enums are now first-class iterable, callable types in Python.

* Ctuples can now be declared in pure Python code.

* Posix declarations for DLL loading and stdio extensions were added.
  Patch by Lars Buitinck.

* The Py2-only builtins ``unicode()``, ``xrange()``, ``reduce()`` and
  ``long`` are now also available in compile time ``DEF`` expressions
  when compiling with Py3.

* Exception type tests have slightly lower overhead.
  This fixes ticket 868.

* @property syntax fully supported in cdef classes, old syntax deprecated.

* C++ classes can now be declared with default template parameters.

Bugs fixed
----------

* C++ exceptions raised by overloaded C++ operators were not always
  handled.  Patch by Ian Henriksen.

* C string literals were previously always stored as non-const global
  variables in the module.  They are now stored as global constants
  when possible, and otherwise as non-const C string literals in the
  generated code that uses them.  This improves compatibility with
  strict C compiler options and prevents non-const strings literals
  with the same content from being incorrectly merged.

* Compile time evaluated ``str`` expressions (``DEF``) now behave in a
  more useful way by turning into Unicode strings when compiling under
  Python 3.  This allows using them as intermediate values in expressions.
  Previously, they always evaluated to bytes objects.

* ``isinf()`` declarations in ``libc/math.pxd`` and ``numpy/math.pxd`` now
  reflect the actual tristate ``int`` return value instead of using ``bint``.

* Literal assignments to ctuples avoid Python tuple round-trips in some
  more corner cases.

* Iteration over ``dict(...).items()`` failed to get optimised when dict
  arguments included keyword arguments.

* cProfile now correctly profiles cpdef functions and methods.


0.23.5 (2016-03-26)
===================

* Compile errors and warnings in integer type conversion code.  This fixes
  ticket 877.  Patches by Christian Neukirchen, Nikolaus Rath, Ian Henriksen.

* Reference leak when "*args" argument was reassigned in closures.

* Truth-testing Unicode strings could waste time and memory in Py3.3+.

* Return values of async functions could be ignored and replaced by ``None``.

* Compiler crash in CPython 3.6.

* Fix prange() to behave identically to range().  The end condition was
  miscalculated when the range was not exactly divisible by the step.

* Optimised ``all(genexpr)``/``any(genexpr)`` calls could warn about unused
  code.  This fixes ticket 876.

0.23.4 (2015-10-10)
===================

Bugs fixed
----------

* Memory leak when calling Python functions in PyPy.

* Compilation problem with MSVC in C99-ish mode.

* Warning about unused values in a helper macro.


0.23.3 (2015-09-29)
===================

Bugs fixed
----------

* Invalid C code for some builtin methods.  This fixes ticket 856 again.

* Incorrect C code in helper functions for PyLong conversion and string
  decoding.  This fixes ticket 863, ticket 864 and ticket 865.
  Original patch by Nikolaus Rath.

* Large folded or inserted integer constants could use too small C
  integer types and thus trigger a value wrap-around.

Other changes
-------------

* The coroutine and generator types of Cython now also register directly
  with the ``Coroutine`` and ``Generator`` ABCs in the ``backports_abc``
  module if it can be imported.  This fixes ticket 870.

Bugs fixed
----------

* Compiler crash when analysing some optimised expressions.

* Coverage plugin was adapted to coverage.py 4.0 beta 2.

* C++ destructor calls could fail when '&' operator is overwritten.

* Incorrect C literal generation for large integers in compile-time
  evaluated DEF expressions and constant folded expressions.

* Byte string constants could end up as Unicode strings when originating
  from compile-time evaluated DEF expressions.

* Invalid C code when caching known builtin methods.
  This fixes ticket 860.

* ``ino_t`` in ``posix.types`` was not declared as ``unsigned``.

* Declarations in ``libcpp/memory.pxd`` were missing ``operator!()``.
  Patch by Leo Razoumov.

* Static cdef methods can now be declared in .pxd files.

===================

Bugs fixed
----------

* Invalid C code for generators.  This fixes ticket 858.

* Invalid C code for some builtin methods.  This fixes ticket 856.

* Invalid C code for unused local buffer variables.
  This fixes ticket 154.

* Test failures on 32bit systems.  This fixes ticket 857.

* Code that uses "from xyz import *" and global C struct/union/array
  variables could fail to compile due to missing helper functions.
  This fixes ticket 851.

* Misnamed PEP 492 coroutine property ``cr_yieldfrom`` renamed to
  ``cr_await`` to match CPython.

* Missing deallocation code for C++ object attributes in certain
  extension class hierarchies.

* Crash when async coroutine was not awaited.

* Compiler crash on ``yield`` in signature annotations and default
  argument values.  Both are forbidden now.

* Compiler crash on certain constructs in ``finally`` clauses.

* Cython failed to build when CPython's pgen is installed.

Update to 0.23:

0.23 (2015-08-08)
=================

Features added
--------------

* PEP 492 (async/await) was implemented.
  See https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0492/

* PEP 448 (Additional Unpacking Generalizations) was implemented.
  See https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0448/

* Support for coverage.py 4.0+ can be enabled by adding the plugin
  "Cython.Coverage" to the ".coveragerc" config file.

* Annotated HTML source pages can integrate (XML) coverage reports.

* Tracing is supported in ``nogil`` functions/sections and module init code.

* When generators are used in a Cython module and the module imports the
  modules "inspect" and/or "asyncio", Cython enables interoperability by
  patching these modules during the import to recognise Cython's internal
  generator and coroutine types. This can be disabled by C compiling the
  module with "-D CYTHON_PATCH_ASYNCIO=0" or "-D CYTHON_PATCH_INSPECT=0"

* When generators or coroutines are used in a Cython module, their types
  are registered with the ``Generator`` and ``Coroutine`` ABCs in the
  ``collections`` or ``collections.abc`` stdlib module at import time to
  enable interoperability with code that needs to detect and process Python
  generators/coroutines.  These ABCs were added in CPython 3.5 and are
  available for older Python versions through the ``backports_abc`` module
  on PyPI.  See https://bugs.python.org/issue24018

* Adding/subtracting/dividing/modulus and equality comparisons with
  constant Python floats and small integers are faster.

* Binary and/or/xor/rshift operations with small constant Python integers
  are faster.

* When called on generator expressions, the builtins ``all()``, ``any()``,
  ``dict()``, ``list()``, ``set()``, ``sorted()`` and ``unicode.join()``
  avoid the generator iteration overhead by inlining a part of their
  functionality into the for-loop.

* Keyword argument dicts are no longer copied on function entry when they
  are not being used or only passed through to other function calls (e.g.
  in wrapper functions).

* The ``PyTypeObject`` declaration in ``cpython.object`` was extended.

* The builtin ``type`` type is now declared as PyTypeObject in source,
  allowing for extern functions taking type parameters to have the correct
  C signatures.  Note that this might break code that uses ``type`` just
  for passing around Python types in typed variables.  Removing the type
  declaration provides a backwards compatible fix.

* ``wraparound()`` and ``boundscheck()`` are available as no-ops in pure
  Python mode.

* Const iterators were added to the provided C++ STL declarations.

* Smart pointers were added to the provided C++ STL declarations.
  Patch by Daniel Filonik.

* ``NULL`` is allowed as default argument when embedding signatures.
  This fixes ticket 843.

* When compiling with ``--embed``, the internal module name is changed to
  ``__main__`` to allow arbitrary program names, including those that would
  be invalid for modules.  Note that this prevents reuse of the generated
  C code as an importable module.

* External C++ classes that overload the assignment operator can be used.
  Patch by Ian Henriksen.

* Support operator bool() for C++ classes so they can be used in if statements.

Bugs fixed
----------

* Calling "yield from" from Python on a Cython generator that returned a
  value triggered a crash in CPython.  This is now being worked around.
  See https://bugs.python.org/issue23996

* Language level 3 did not enable true division (a.k.a. float division)
  for integer operands.

* Functions with fused argument types that included a generic 'object'
  fallback could end up using that fallback also for other explicitly
  listed object types.

* Relative cimports could accidentally fall back to trying an absolute
  cimport on failure.

* The result of calling a C struct constructor no longer requires an
  intermediate assignment when coercing to a Python dict.

* C++ exception declarations with mapping functions could fail to compile
  when pre-declared in .pxd files.

* ``cpdef void`` methods are now permitted.

* ``abs(cint)`` could fail to compile in MSVC and used sub-optimal code
  in C++.  Patch by David Vierra, original patch by Michael Enlin.

* Buffer index calculations using index variables with small C integer
  types could overflow for large buffer sizes.
  Original patch by David Vierra.

* C unions use a saner way to coerce from and to Python dicts.

* When compiling a module ``foo.pyx``, the directories in ``sys.path``
  are no longer searched when looking for ``foo.pxd``.
  Patch by Jeroen Demeyer.

* Memory leaks in the embedding main function were fixed.
  Original patch by Michael Enlin.

* Some complex Python expressions could fail to compile inside of finally
  clauses.

* Unprefixed 'str' literals were not supported as C varargs arguments.

* Fixed type errors in conversion enum types to/from Python.  Note that
  this imposes stricter correctness requirements on enum declarations.


Other changes
-------------

* Changed mangling scheme in header files generated by ``cdef api``
  declarations.

* Installation under CPython 3.3+ no longer requires a pass of the
  2to3 tool.  This also makes it possible to run Cython in Python
  3.3+ from a source checkout without installing it first.
  Patch by Petr Viktorin.

* ``jedi-typer.py`` (in ``Tools/``) was extended and renamed to
  ``jedityper.py`` (to make it importable) and now works with and
  requires Jedi 0.9.  Patch by Tzer-jen Wei.

* Runtime reported file paths of source files (e.g for profiling and tracing)
  are now relative to the build root directory instead of the main source file.

* Tracing exception handling code could enter the trace function with an active
  exception set.

* The internal generator function type was not shared across modules.

* Comparisons of (inferred) ctuples failed to compile.

0.22 (2015-02-11)
=================

Features added
--------------

* C functions can coerce to Python functions, which allows passing them
  around as callable objects.

* C arrays can be assigned by value and auto-coerce from Python iterables
  and to Python lists (and tuples).

* Extern C functions can now be declared as cpdef to export them to
  the module's Python namespace.  Extern C functions in pxd files export
  their values to their own module, iff it exists.

* Anonymous C tuple types can be declared as (ctype1, ctype2, ...).

* PEP 479: turn accidental StopIteration exceptions that exit generators
  into a RuntimeError, activated with future import "generator_stop".
  See http://legacy.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0479/

* Looping over ``reversed(range())`` is optimised in the same way as
  ``range()``.  Patch by Favian Contreras.

Bugs fixed
----------

* Mismatching 'except' declarations on signatures in .pxd and .pyx files failed
  to produce a compile error.

* Failure to find any files for the path pattern(s) passed into ``cythonize()``
  is now an error to more easily detect accidental typos.

* The ``logaddexp`` family of functions in ``numpy.math`` now has correct
  declarations.

* In Py2.6/7 and Py3.2, simple Cython memory views could accidentally be
  interpreted as non-contiguous by CPython, which could trigger a CPython
  bug when copying data from them, thus leading to data corruption.
  See CPython issues 12834 and 23349.

Other changes
-------------

* Preliminary support for defining the Cython language with a formal grammar.
  To try parsing your files against this grammar, use the --formal_grammar directive.
  Experimental.

* ``_`` is no longer considered a cacheable builtin as it could interfere with
  gettext.

* Cythonize-computed metadata now cached in the generated C files.

* Several corrections and extensions in numpy, cpython, and libcpp pxd files.

* Automatic coercion from C++ strings to ``str`` generated incomplete code that
  failed to compile.

* Declaring a constructor in a C++ child class erroneously required a default

===================

Features added
--------------

* New ``cythonize`` option ``-a`` to generate the annotated HTML source view.

* Missing C-API declarations in ``cpython.unicode`` were added.

* Passing ``language='c++'`` into cythonize() globally enables C++ mode for
  all modules that were not passed as Extension objects (i.e. only source
  files and file patterns).

* ``Py_hash_t`` is a known type (used in CPython for hash values).

* ``PySlice_*()`` C-API functions are available from the ``cpython.slice``
  module.

* Allow arrays of C++ classes.

Bugs fixed
----------

* Reference leak for non-simple Python expressions in boolean and/or expressions.

* To fix a name collision and to reflect availability on host platforms,
  standard C declarations [ clock(), time(), struct tm and tm* functions ]
  were moved from posix/time.pxd to a new libc/time.pxd.  Patch by Charles
  Blake.

* Rerunning unmodified modules in IPython's cython support failed.
  Patch by Matthias Bussonier.

* Casting C++ ``std::string`` to Python byte strings failed when
  auto-decoding was enabled.

* Fatal exceptions in global module init code could lead to crashes
  if the already created module was used later on (e.g. through a
  stale reference in sys.modules or elsewhere).

* ``cythonize.py`` script was not installed on MS-Windows.

Other changes
-------------

* Compilation no longer fails hard when unknown compilation options are
  passed.  Instead, it raises a warning and ignores them (as it did silently
  before 0.21).  This will be changed back to an error in a future release.

Update to 0.21:

0.21 (2014-09-10)
=================

Features added
--------------

* C (cdef) functions allow inner Python functions.

* Enums can now be declared as cpdef to export their values to
  the module's Python namespace.  Cpdef enums in pxd files export
  their values to their own module, iff it exists.

* Allow @staticmethod decorator to declare static cdef methods.
  This is especially useful for declaring "constructors" for
  cdef classes that can take non-Python arguments.

* Taking a ``char*`` from a temporary Python string object is safer
  in more cases and can be done inside of non-trivial expressions,
  including arguments of a function call.  A compile time error
  is raised only when such a pointer is assigned to a variable and
  would thus exceed the lifetime of the string itself.

* Generators have new properties ``__name__`` and ``__qualname__``
  that provide the plain/qualified name of the generator function
  (following CPython 3.5).  See http://bugs.python.org/issue21205

* The ``inline`` function modifier is available as a decorator
  ``@cython.inline`` in pure mode.

* When cygdb is run in a virtualenv, it enables the same virtualenv
  inside of the debugger. Patch by Marc Abramowitz.

* PEP 465: dedicated infix operator for matrix multiplication (A @ B).

* HTML output of annotated code uses Pygments for code highlighting
  and generally received a major overhaul by Matthias Bussonier.

* IPython magic support is now available directly from Cython with
  the command "%load_ext cython".  Cython code can directly be
  executed in a cell when marked with "%%cython".  Code analysis
  is available with "%%cython -a".  Patch by Martín Gaitán.

* Simple support for declaring Python object types in Python signature
  annotations.  Currently requires setting the compiler directive
  ``annotation_typing=True``.

* New directive ``use_switch`` (defaults to True) to optionally disable
  the optimization of chained if statement to C switch statements.

* Defines dynamic_cast et al. in ``libcpp.cast`` and C++ heap data
  structure operations in ``libcpp.algorithm``.

* Shipped header declarations in ``posix.*`` were extended to cover
  more of the POSIX API.  Patches by Lars Buitinck and Mark Peek.

Optimizations
-------------

* Simple calls to C implemented Python functions/methods are faster.
  This also speeds up many operations on builtins that Cython cannot
  otherwise optimise.

* The "and"/"or" operators try to avoid unnecessary coercions of their
  arguments.  They now evaluate the truth value of each argument
  independently and only coerce the final result of the whole expression
  to the target type (e.g. the type on the left side of an assignment).
  This also avoids reference counting overhead for Python values during
  evaluation and generally improves the code flow in the generated C code.

* The Python expression "2 ** N" is optimised into bit shifting.
  See http://bugs.python.org/issue21420

* Cascaded assignments (a = b = ...) try to minimise the number of
  type coercions.

* Calls to ``slice()`` are translated to a straight C-API call.

Bugs fixed
----------

* Crash when assigning memory views from ternary conditional expressions.

* Nested C++ templates could lead to unseparated ">>" characters being
  generated into the C++ declarations, which older C++ compilers could
  not parse.

* Sending SIGINT (Ctrl-C) during parallel cythonize() builds could
  hang the child processes.

* No longer ignore local setup.cfg files for distutils in pyximport.
  Patch by Martin Teichmann.

* Taking a ``char*`` from an indexed Python string generated unsafe
  reference counting code.

* Set literals now create all of their items before trying to add them
  to the set, following the behaviour in CPython.  This makes a
  difference in the rare case that the item creation has side effects
  and some items are not hashable (or if hashing them has side effects,
  too).

* Cython no longer generates the cross product of C functions for code
  that uses memory views of fused types in function signatures (e.g.
  ``cdef func(floating[:] a, floating[:] b)``).  This is considered the
  expected behaviour by most users and was previously inconsistent with
  other structured types like C arrays.  Code that really wants all type
  combinations can create the same fused memoryview type under different
  names and use those in the signature to make it clear which types are
  independent.

* Names that were unknown at compile time were looked up as builtins at
  runtime but not as global module names.  Trying both lookups helps with
  globals() manipulation.

* Fixed stl container conversion for typedef element types.

* ``obj.pop(x)`` truncated large C integer values of x to ``Py_ssize_t``.

* ``__init__.pyc`` is recognised as marking a package directory
  (in addition to .py, .pyx and .pxd).

* Syntax highlighting in ``cython-mode.el`` for Emacs no longer
  incorrectly highlights keywords found as part of longer names.

* Correctly handle ``from cython.submodule cimport name``.

* Fix infinite recursion when using super with cpdef methods.

* No-args ``dir()`` was not guaranteed to return a sorted list.

Other changes
-------------

* The header line in the generated C files no longer contains the
  timestamp but only the Cython version that wrote it.  This was
  changed to make builds more reproducible.

* Removed support for CPython 2.4, 2.5 and 3.1.

* The licensing implications on the generated code were clarified
  to avoid legal constraints for users.

0.20.2 (2014-06-16)
===================

Features added
--------------

* Some optimisations for set/frozenset instantiation.

* Support for C++ unordered_set and unordered_map.

Bugs fixed
----------

* Access to attributes of optimised builtin methods (e.g.
  ``[].append.__name__``) could fail to compile.

* Memory leak when extension subtypes add a memory view as attribute
  to those of the parent type without having Python object attributes
  or a user provided dealloc method.

* Compiler crash on readonly properties in "binding" mode.

* Auto-encoding with ``c_string_encoding=ascii`` failed in Py3.3.

* Crash when subtyping freelist enabled Cython extension types with
  Python classes that use ``__slots__``.

* Freelist usage is restricted to CPython to avoid problems with other
  Python implementations.

* Memory leak in memory views when copying overlapping, contiguous slices.

* Format checking when requesting non-contiguous buffers from
  ``cython.array`` objects was disabled in Py3.

* C++ destructor calls in extension types could fail to compile in clang.

* Buffer format validation failed for sequences of strings in structs.

* Docstrings on extension type attributes in .pxd files were rejected.

===================
0.20.1 (2014-02-11)
===================

Bugs fixed
----------

* List/Tuple literals multiplied by more than one factor were only multiplied
  by the last factor instead of all.

* Lookups of special methods (specifically for context managers) could fail
  in Python <= 2.6/3.1.

* Local variables were erroneously appended to the signature introspection
  of Cython implemented functions with keyword-only arguments under Python 3.

* In-place assignments to variables with inferred Python builtin/extension
  types could fail with type errors if the result value type was incompatible
  with the type of the previous value.

* The C code generation order of cdef classes, closures, helper code,
  etc. was not deterministic, thus leading to high code churn.

* Type inference could fail to deduce C enum types.

* Type inference could deduce unsafe or inefficient types from integer
  assignments within a mix of inferred Python variables and integer
  variables.

Update to 0.20:

0.20 (??)
===================

Features added
--------------

* Support for CPython 3.4.

* Support for calling C++ template functions.

* ``yield`` is supported in ``finally`` clauses.

* The C code generated for finally blocks is duplicated for each exit
  case to allow for better optimisations by the C compiler.

* Cython tries to undo the Python optimisationism of assigning a bound
  method to a local variable when it can generate better code for the
  direct call.

* Constant Python float values are cached.

* String equality comparisons can use faster type specific code in
  more cases than before.

* String/Unicode formatting using the '%' operator uses a faster
  C-API call.

* ``bytearray`` has become a known type and supports coercion from and
  to C strings.  Indexing, slicing and decoding is optimised. Note that
  this may have an impact on existing code due to type inference.

* Using ``cdef basestring stringvar`` and function arguments typed as
  ``basestring`` is now meaningful and allows assigning exactly
  ``str`` and ``unicode`` objects, but no subtypes of these types.

* Support for the ``__debug__`` builtin.

* Assertions in Cython compiled modules are disabled if the running
  Python interpreter was started with the "-O" option.

* Some types that Cython provides internally, such as functions and
  generators, are now shared across modules if more than one Cython
  implemented module is imported.

* The type inference algorithm works more fine granular by taking the
  results of the control flow analysis into account.

* A new script in ``bin/cythonize`` provides a command line frontend
  to the cythonize() compilation function (including distutils build).

* The new extension type decorator ``@cython.no_gc_clear`` prevents
  objects from being cleared during cyclic garbage collection, thus
  making sure that object attributes are kept alive until deallocation.

* During cyclic garbage collection, attributes of extension types that
  cannot create reference cycles due to their type (e.g. strings) are
  no longer considered for traversal or clearing.  This can reduce the
  processing overhead when searching for or cleaning up reference cycles.

* Package compilation (i.e. ``__init__.py`` files) now works, starting
  with Python 3.3.

* The cython-mode.el script for Emacs was updated.  Patch by Ivan Andrus.

* An option common_utility_include_dir was added to cythonize() to save
  oft-used utility code once in a separate directory rather than as
  part of each generated file.

* ``unraisable_tracebacks`` directive added to control printing of
  tracebacks of unraisable exceptions.

Bugs fixed
----------

* Abstract Python classes that subtyped a Cython extension type
  failed to raise an exception on instantiation, and thus ended
  up being instantiated.

* ``set.add(a_tuple)`` and ``set.discard(a_tuple)`` failed with a
  TypeError in Py2.4.

* The PEP 3155 ``__qualname__`` was incorrect for nested classes and
  inner classes/functions declared as ``global``.

* Several corner cases in the try-finally statement were fixed.

* The metaclass of a Python class was not inherited from its parent
  class(es).  It is now extracted from the list of base classes if not
  provided explicitly using the Py3 ``metaclass`` keyword argument.
  In Py2 compilation mode, a ``__metaclass__`` entry in the class
  dict will still take precedence if not using Py3 metaclass syntax,
  but only *after* creating the class dict (which may have been done
  by a metaclass of a base class, see PEP 3115).  It is generally
  recommended to use the explicit Py3 syntax to define metaclasses
  for Python types at compile time.

* The automatic C switch statement generation behaves more safely for
  heterogeneous value types (e.g. mixing enum and char), allowing for
  a slightly wider application and reducing corner cases.  It now always
  generates a 'default' clause to avoid C compiler warnings about
  unmatched enum values.

* Fixed a bug where class hierarchies declared out-of-order could result
  in broken generated code.

* Fixed a bug which prevented overriding const methods of C++ classes.

* Fixed a crash when converting Python objects to C++ strings fails.

Other changes
-------------

* In Py3 compilation mode, Python2-style metaclasses declared by a
  ``__metaclass__`` class dict entry are ignored.

* In Py3.4+, the Cython generator type uses ``tp_finalize()`` for safer
  cleanup instead of ``tp_del()``.

0.19.2 (2013-10-13)
===================

Bugs fixed
----------

* Some standard declarations were fixed or updated, including the previously
  incorrect declaration of ``PyBuffer_FillInfo()`` and some missing bits in
  ``libc.math``.

* Heap allocated subtypes of ``type`` used the wrong base type struct at the
  C level.

* Calling the unbound method dict.keys/value/items() in dict subtypes could
  call the bound object method instead of the unbound supertype method.

* "yield" wasn't supported in "return" value expressions.

* Using the "bint" type in memory views lead to unexpected results.
  It is now an error.

* Assignments to global/closure variables could catch them in an illegal state
  while deallocating the old value.

Update to 0.19.1:

0.19.1 (2013-05-11)
===================

Features added
--------------

* Completely empty C-API structs for extension type slots (protocols like
  number/mapping/sequence) are no longer generated into the C code.

* Docstrings that directly follow a public/readonly attribute declaration
  in a cdef class will be used as docstring of the auto-generated property.
  This fixes ticket 206.

* The automatic signature documentation tries to preserve more semantics
  of default arguments and argument types.  Specifically, ``bint`` arguments
  now appear as type ``bool``.

* A warning is emitted when negative literal indices are found inside of
  a code section that disables ``wraparound`` handling.  This helps with
  fixing invalid code that might fail in the face of future compiler
  optimisations.

* Constant folding for boolean expressions (and/or) was improved.

* Added a build_dir option to cythonize() which allows one to place
  the generated .c files outside the source tree.

Bugs fixed
----------

* ``isinstance(X, type)`` failed to get optimised into a call to
  ``PyType_Check()``, as done for other builtin types.

* A spurious "from datetime cimport *" was removed from the "cpython"
  declaration package. This means that the "datetime" declarations
  (added in 0.19) are no longer available directly from the "cpython"
  namespace, but only from "cpython.datetime". This is the correct
  way of doing it because the declarations refer to a standard library
  module, not the core CPython C-API itself.

* The C code for extension types is now generated in topological order
  instead of source code order to avoid C compiler errors about missing
  declarations for subtypes that are defined before their parent.

* The ``memoryview`` type name no longer shows up in the module dict of
  modules that use memory views.  This fixes trac ticket 775.

* Regression in 0.19 that rejected valid C expressions from being used
  in C array size declarations.

* In C++ mode, the C99-only keyword ``restrict`` could accidentally be
  seen by the GNU C++ compiler. It is now specially handled for both
  GCC and MSVC.

* Testing large (> int) C integer values for their truth value could fail
  due to integer wrap-around.

Update to 0.19:

0.19 (2013-04-19)
=================

Features added
--------------

* New directives ``c_string_type`` and ``c_string_encoding`` to more easily
  and automatically convert between C strings and the different Python string
  types.

* The extension type flag ``Py_TPFLAGS_HAVE_VERSION_TAG`` is enabled by default
  on extension types and can be disabled using the ``type_version_tag`` compiler
  directive.

* EXPERIMENTAL support for simple Cython code level line tracing.  Enabled by
  the "linetrace" compiler directive.

* Cython implemented functions make their argument and return type annotations
  available through the ``__annotations__`` attribute (PEP 3107).

* Access to non-cdef module globals and Python object attributes is faster.

* ``Py_UNICODE*`` coerces from and to Python unicode strings.  This is
  helpful when talking to Windows APIs, which use compatible wchar_t
  arrays for strings.  Note that the ``Py_UNICODE`` type is otherwise
  deprecated as of CPython 3.3.

* ``isinstance(obj, basestring)`` is optimised.  In Python 3 it only tests
  for instances of ``str`` (i.e. Py2 ``unicode``).

* The ``basestring`` builtin is mapped to ``str`` (i.e. Py2 ``unicode``) when
  compiling the generated C code under Python 3.

* Closures use freelists, which can speed up their creation quite substantially.
  This is also visible for short running generator expressions, for example.

* A new class decorator ``@cython.freelist(N)`` creates a static freelist of N
  instances for an extension type, thus avoiding the costly allocation step if
  possible. This can speed up object instantiation by 20-30% in suitable
  scenarios. Note that freelists are currently only supported for base types,
  not for types that inherit from others.

* Fast extension type instantiation using the ``Type.__new__(Type)`` idiom has
  gained support for passing arguments.  It is also a bit faster for types defined
  inside of the module.

* The Python2-only dict methods ``.iter*()`` and ``.view*()`` (requires Python 2.7)
  are automatically mapped to the equivalent keys/values/items methods in Python 3
  for typed dictionaries.

* 2-value slicing of unknown objects passes the correct slice when the ``getitem``
  protocol is used instead of the ``getslice`` protocol (especially in Python 3),
  i.e. ``None`` values for missing bounds instead of ``[0,maxsize]``.  It is also
  a bit faster in some cases, e.g. for constant bounds.  This fixes trac ticket 636.

* Slicing unicode strings, lists and tuples is faster.

* list.append() is faster on average.

* ``raise Exception() from None`` suppresses the exception context in Py3.3.

* Py3 compatible ``exec(tuple)`` syntax is supported in Py2 code.

* Keyword arguments are supported for cdef functions.

* External C++ classes can be declared nogil.  Patch by John Stumpo.  This fixes
  trac ticket 805.

Bugs fixed
----------

* Cascaded assignments of None values to extension type variables failed with
  a ``TypeError`` at runtime.

* The ``__defaults__`` attribute was not writable for Cython implemented
  functions.

* Default values of keyword-only arguments showed up in ``__defaults__`` instead
  of ``__kwdefaults__`` (which was not implemented).  Both are available for
  Cython implemented functions now, as specified in Python 3.x.

* ``yield`` works inside of ``with gil`` sections.  It previously lead to a crash.
  This fixes trac ticket 803.

* Static methods without explicitly named positional arguments (e.g. having only
  ``*args``) crashed when being called.  This fixes trac ticket 804.

* ``dir()`` without arguments previously returned an unsorted list, which now
  gets sorted as expected.

* ``dict.items()``, ``dict.keys()`` and ``dict.values()`` no longer return lists
  in Python 3.

* Exiting from an ``except-as`` clause now deletes the exception in Python 3 mode.

* The declarations of ``frexp()`` and ``ldexp()`` in ``math.pxd`` were incorrect.

  arithmetic with C ints overflow.  This has a modest performance penalty, but

* Weak-reference support in extension types (with a "cdef __weakref__"
  attribute) generated incorrect deallocation code.
* In CPython 3.3, converting a Unicode character to the Py_UNICODE type
  could fail to raise an overflow for non-BMP characters that do not fit
  into a wchar_t on the current platform.
* Negative C integer constants lost their longness suffix in the generated
  C code.

0.17.2:

Features added
--------------

* ``cythonize()`` gained a best effort compile mode that can be used to
simply ignore .py files that fail to compile.

Bugs fixed
----------

* Replacing an object reference with the value of one of its cdef
attributes could generate incorrect C code that accessed the object after
deleting its last reference.

* C-to-Python type coercions during cascaded comparisons could generate
invalid C code, specifically when using the 'in' operator.

* "obj[1,]" passed a single integer into the item getter instead of a tuple.

* Cyclic imports at module init time did not work in Py3.

* The names of C++ destructors for template classes were built incorrectly.

* In pure mode, type casts in Cython syntax and the C ampersand operator
are now rejected. Use the pure mode replacements instead.

* In pure mode, C type names and the sizeof() function are no longer
recognised as such and can be used as normal Python names.

* The extended C level support for the CPython array type was declared too
late to be used by user defined classes.

* C++ class nesting was broken.

* Better checking for required nullary constructors for stack-allocated C++
instances.

* Remove module docstring in no-docstring mode.

* Fix specialization for varargs function signatures.

* Fix several compiler crashes.

General Improvements and Bug Fixes

    A reference leak was fixed in the new dict iteration code when

    Memory views did not handle the special case of a NULL buffer
    strides value, as allowed by PEP3118.

Features

    Alpha quality support for compiling and running Cython generated
    extension modules in PyPy (through cpyext). Note that this
    requires at leastPyPy 1.9 and in many cases also adaptations
    in user code, especially to avoid borrowed references when no
    owned reference is being held directly in C space (a reference
    in a Python list or dict is not enough, for example). See the
    documentation on porting Cython code to PyPy.

    "yield from" is supported (PEP 380) and a couple of minor
    problems with generators were fixed.

    C++ STL container classes automatically coerce from and to the
    equivalent Python container types on typed assignments and
    casts. Usage examples are here. Note that the data in the
    containers is copied during this conversion.

    C++ iterators can now be iterated over using for x in cpp_container
    whenever cpp_container has begin() and end() methods returning
    objects satisfying the iterator pattern (that is, it can be
    incremented, dereferenced, and compared (for non-equality)).
    cdef classes can now have C++ class members (provided a
    zero-argument constructor exists)

    A new cpython.array standard cimport file allows to efficiently
    talk to the stdlib array.array data type in Python 2. Since
    CPython does not export an official C-API for this module, it
    receives special casing by the compiler in order to avoid setup
    overhead on user side. In Python 3, both buffers and memory
    views on the array type already worked out of the box with
    earlier versions of Cython due to the native support for the
    buffer interface in the Py3 array module.
    Fast dict iteration is now enabled optimistically also for
    untyped variables when the common iteration methods are used.

    The unicode string processing code was adapted for the upcoming
    CPython 3.3 (PEP 393, new Unicode buffer layout).

    Buffer arguments and memory view arguments in Python functions
    can be declared "not None" to raise a TypeError on None input.
    c(p)def functions in pure mode can specify their return type
    with "@cython.returns()".
    Automatic dispatch for fused functions with memoryview arguments
    Support newaxis indexing for memoryviews
    Support decorators for fused functions

General Improvements and Bug Fixes

    Old-style Py2 imports did not work reliably in Python 3.x and
    were broken in Python 3.3. Regardless of this fix, it's generally
    best to be explicit about relative and global imports in Cython
    code because old-style imports have a higher overhead. To this
    end, "from __future__ import absolute_import" is supported in
    Python/Cython 2.x code now (previous versions of Cython already
    used it when compiling Python 3 code).

    Stricter constraints on the inline and final modifiers. If your
    code does not compile due to this change, chances are these
    modifiers were previously being ignored by the compiler and
    can be removed without any performance regression.
    Exceptions are always instantiated while raising them (as in
    Python), instead of risking to instantiate them in potentially
    unsafe situations when they need to be handled or otherwise
    processed.

    locals() properly ignores names that do not have Python compatible
    types (including automatically inferred types).
    Some garbage collection issues of memory views were fixed.

    User declared char* types are now recognised as such and
    auto-coerce to and from Python bytes strings.

    libc.string provides a convenience declaration for const uchar
    in addition to const char.

    Modules generated by @cython.inline() are written into the
    directory pointed to by the environment variable CYTHON_CACHE_DIR
    if set.
    numpy.pxd compiles in Python 3 mode.

    callable() and next() compile to more efficient C code.

    list.append() is faster on average.
    Several C compiler warnings were fixed.
    Several bugs related to memoryviews and fused types were fixed.

    Several bug-fixes and improvements related to cythonize(),
    including ccache-style caching.

    generator expressions and PEP 342 coroutines.
    The nonlocal keyword is supported.
    Re-acquiring the gil: with gil - works as expected within a
    nogil context.

General improvements and bug fixes
This release contains over a thousand commits including hundreds
of bugfixes and optimizations. The bug tracker has not been as
heavily used this release cycle, but is still an interesting subset
of improvements and fixes
Incompatible changes
    Uninitialized variables are no longer initialized to None and
    accessing them has the same semantics as standard Python.
    globals() now returns a read-only dict of the Cython module's
    globals, rather than the globals
        of the first non-Cython module in the stack
    Many C++ exceptions are now special cased to give closer Python
    counterparts. This means that except+ functions that formerly
    raised generic RuntimeErrors may raise something else such as
    ArithmeticError.
Known regressions
    The inlined generator expressions (introduced in Cython 0.13)
    were disabled in favour of full generator expression support.
    This breaks code that previously used them inside of cdef
    functions (usage in def functions continues to work) and induces
    a performance regression for cases that continue to work but
    that were previously inlined. We hope to reinstate this feature
    in the near future.
    Generators (yield) - Cython has full support for generators,
    generator expressions and PEP 342 coroutines.

0.14.1
New Features
    The gdb debugging support was extended to include all major
    Cython features, including closures.
    raise MemoryError() is now safe to use as Cython replaces it
    with the correct C-API call.
General improvements and bug fixes
The bug tracker has a list of the major improvements and fixes
Incompatible changes
    Decorators on special methods of cdef classes now raise a
    compile time error rather than being ignored.
    In Python 3 language level mode (-3 option), the 'str' type is
    now mapped to 'unicode', so that cdef str s declares a Unicode
    string even when running in Python 2.

0.14
New Features
    Python classes can now be nested and receive a proper closure
    at definition time.
    Redefinition is supported for Python functions, even within
    the same scope.
    Lambda expressions are supported in class bodies and at the
    module level.
    Metaclasses are supported for Python classes, both in Python
    2 and Python 3 syntax. The Python 3 syntax (using a keyword
    argument in the type declaration) is preferred and optimised
    at compile time.
    "final" extension classes prevent inheritance in Python space.
    This feature is available through the new "cython.final"
    decorator. In the future, these classes may receive further
    optimisations.
    "internal" extension classes do not show up in the module
    dictionary. This feature is available through the new
    "cython.internal" decorator.
    Extension type inheritance from builtin types, such as "cdef
    class MyUnicode(unicode)", now works without further external
    type redeclarations (which are also strongly discouraged now
    and continue to issue a warning).
    GDB support. http://docs.cython.org/src/userguide/debugging.html
    A new build system with support for inline distutils directives,
    correct dependency tracking, and parallel compilation.
    http://wiki.cython.org/enhancements/distutils_preprocessing
    Support for dynamic compilation at runtime via the new
    cython.inline function and cython.compile decorator.
    http://wiki.cython.org/enhancements/inline
General improvements and bug fixes
    In parallel assignments, the right side was evaluated in reverse
    order in 0.13. This could result in errors if it had side
    effects (e.g. function calls).
    In some cases, methods of builtin types would raise a SystemError
    instead of an AttributeError when called on None.
    Constant tuples are now cached over the lifetime of an extension
    module, just like CPython does. Constant argument tuples of
    Python function calls are also cached.
    Closures have tightened to include exactly the names used in
    the inner functions and classes. Previously, they held the
    complete locals of the defining function.
    "nogil" blocks are supported when compiling pure Python code
    by writing "with cython.nogil".
    The builtin "next()" function in Python 2.6 and later is now
    implemented internally and therefore available in all Python
    versions. This makes it the preferred and portable way of
    manually advancing an iterator.
    In addition to the previously supported inlined generator
    expressions in 0.13, "sorted(genexpr)" can now be used as well.
    Typing issues were fixed in "sum(genexpr)" that could lead to
    invalid C code being generated. Other known issues with inlined
    generator expressions were also fixed that make upgrading to
    0.14 a strong recommendation for code that uses them. Note that
    general generators and generator expressions continue to be
    not supported.
    Iterating over arbitrary pointer types is now supported, as is
    an optimized version of the in operator, e.g. x in ptr[a:b].
    Inplace arithmetic operators now respect the cdivision directive
    and are supported for complex types.
Incompatible changes
    Typing a variable as type "complex" previously gave it the
    Python object type. It now uses the appropriate C/C++ double
    complex type. A side-effect is that assignments and typed
    function parameters now accept anything that Python can coerce
    to a complex, including integers and floats, and not only
    complex instances.
    Large integer literals pass through the compiler in a safer
    way. To prevent truncation in C code, non 32-bit literals are
    turned into Python objects if not used in a C context. This
    context can either be given by a clear C literal suffix such
    as "UL" or "LL" (or "L" in Python 3 code), or it can be an
    assignment to a typed variable or a typed function argument,
    in which case it is up to the user to take care of a sufficiently
    large value space of the target.
    Python functions are declared in the order they appear in the
    file, rather than all being created at module creation time.
    This is consistent with Python and needed to support, for
    example, conditional or repeated declarations of functions. In
    the face of circular imports this may cause code to break, so
    a new --disable-function-redefinition flag was added to revert
    to the old behavior. This flag will be removed in a future
    release, so should only be used as a stopgap until old code
    can be fixed.
