0.23.1 (2015-08-22)
===================

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.

  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.

Log message:
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 Enßlin.

* 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 Enßlin.

* 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.

Log message:
Update to 0.22:

0.22.1 (2015-06-20)
===================

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

* Crash when returning values on generator termination.

* In some cases, exceptions raised during internal isinstance() checks were
  not propagated.

* 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.

* Closures inside of cdef functions returning ``void`` failed to compile.

* Using ``const`` C++ references in intermediate parts of longer expressions
  could fail to compile.

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

* C++ compilation could fail with an ambiguity error in recent MacOS-X Xcode
  versions.

* C compilation could fail in pypy3.

* Fixed a memory leak in the compiler when compiling multiple modules.

* When compiling multiple modules, external library dependencies could leak
  into later compiler runs.  Fix by Jeroen Demeyer.  This fixes ticket 845.

Log message:
Update to 0.22:

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.

Log message:
Update to 0.21.2:

0.21.2 (2014-12-27)
===================

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

* Crash when assigning a C value to both a Python and C target at the same time.

* 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
  constructor declaration in the super class.

* ``resize_smart()`` in ``cpython.array`` was broken.

* Functions in ``libcpp.cast`` are now declared as ``nogil``.

* Some missing C-API declarations were added.

* Py3 main code in embedding program code was lacking casts.

* Exception related to distutils "Distribution" class type in \ 
pyximport under
  latest CPython 2.7 and 3.4 releases when setuptools is being imported later.

Log message:
Update to 0.21.1:

0.21.1 (2014-10-18)
===================

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.

Log message:
Why did I commit that, I wonder.

Log message:
Comment out c++ dep again, only needed for testing.

Log message:
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.
