  February 17, 2022

  🐛 Bugs fixed

  • Due to backwards incompatible changes in CPython 3.11a4, the feature flags CYTHON_FAST_THREAD_STATE and CYTHON_USE_EXC_INFO_STACK are now disabled in Python 3.11 and later. They are enabled again in Cython 3.0. Patch by David Woods. (Github issue :issue:4610)

• v0.29.27 Changes

  January 28, 2022

  🔋 Features added

  • The cythonize command has a new option -M to generate .dep dependency files for the compilation unit. This can be used by external build tools to track these dependencies. Patch by Evgeni Burovski. (Github issue :issue:1214)

  🐛 Bugs fixed

  • Compilation failures on PyPy were resolved. Patches by Matti Picus. (Github issues :issue:4509, :issue:4517)

  • ⚠ Some C compiler warnings about missing type struct initialisers in Py3.10 were resolved.

  • Cython no longer warns about using OpenMP 3.0 features since they are now considered generally available.

• v0.29.26 Changes

  December 16, 2021

  🐛 Bugs fixed

  December 06, 2021

  🐛 Bugs fixed

  • Several incompatibilities with CPython 3.11 were resolved. Patches by David Woods, Victor Stinner, Thomas Caswell. (Github issues :issue:4411, :issue:4414, :issue:4415, :issue:4416, :issue:4420, :issue:4428, :issue:4473, :issue:4479, :issue:4480)

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

  • Avoid copying unaligned 16-bit values since some platforms require them to be aligned. Use memcpy() instead to let the C compiler decide how to do it. (Github issue :issue:4343)

  • ✅ Cython crashed on invalid truthiness tests on C++ types without operator bool. Patch by David Woods. (Github issue :issue:4348)

  July 14, 2021

  🐛 Bugs fixed

  • Inline functions in pxd files that used memory views could lead to invalid C code if the module that imported from them does not use memory views. Patch by David Woods. (Github issue :issue:1415)

  • Multiplied str constants could end up as bytes constants with language_level=2. Patch by Alphadelta14 and David Woods. (Github issue :issue:3951)

  • const template declarations could not be nested. Patch by Ashwin Srinath. (Github issue :issue:1355)

  • The declarations in the cpython.pycapsule module were missing their const modifiers and generated incorrect C code. Patch by Warren Weckesser. (Github issue :issue:3964)

  • Casts to memory views failed for fused dtypes. Patch by David Woods. (Github issue :issue:3881)

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

  .. _0.29.21:

• v0.29.21 Changes

  July 09, 2020

  🐛 Bugs fixed

  • Fix a regression in 0.29.20 where __div__ failed to be found in extension types. (Github issue :issue:3688)

  • 🛠 Fix a regression in 0.29.20 where a call inside of a finally clause could fail to compile. Patch by David Woods. (Github issue :issue:3712)

  • Zero-sized buffers could fail to validate as C/Fortran-contiguous. Patch by Clemens Hofreither. (Github issue :issue:2093)

  • exec() did not allow recent Python syntax features in Py3.8+ due to https://bugs.python.org/issue35975. (Github issue :issue:3695)

  • Binding staticmethods of Cython functions were not behaving like Python methods in Py3. Patch by Jeroen Demeyer and Michał Górny. (Github issue :issue:3106)

  • Pythran calls to NumPy methods no longer generate useless method lookup code.

  • The PyUnicode_GET_LENGTH() macro was missing from the cpython.* declarations. Patch by Thomas Caswell. (Github issue :issue:3692)

  • 🗄 The deprecated PyUnicode_*() C-API functions are no longer used, except for Unicode strings that contain lone surrogates. Unicode strings that contain non-BMP characters or surrogate pairs now generate different C code on 16-bit Python 2.x Unicode deployments (such as MS-Windows). Generating the C code on Python 3.x is recommended in this case. Original patches by Inada Naoki and Victor Stinner. (Github issues :issue:3677, :issue:3721, :issue:3697)

  • Some template parameters were missing from the C++ std::unordered_map declaration. Patch by will. (Github issue :issue:3685)

  .. _0.29.20:

• v0.29.20 Changes

  June 10, 2020

  🐛 Bugs fixed

  • Nested try-except statements with multiple return statements could crash due to incorrect deletion of the except as target variable. (Github issue :issue:3666)

  • The @classmethod decorator no longer rejects unknown input from other decorators. Patch by David Woods. (Github issue :issue:3660)

  • Fused types could leak into unrelated usages. Patch by David Woods. (Github issue :issue:3642)

  • Now uses Py_SET_SIZE() and Py_SET_REFCNT() in Py3.9+ to avoid low-level write access to these object fields. Patch by Victor Stinner. (Github issue :issue:3639)

  • The built-in abs() function could lead to undefined behaviour when used on the negative-most value of a signed C integer type. Patch by Serge Guelton. (Github issue :issue:1911)

  • Usages of sizeof() and typeid() on uninitialised variables no longer produce a warning. Patch by Celelibi. (Github issue :issue:3575)

  • The C++ typeid() function was allowed in C mode. Patch by Celelibi. (Github issue :issue:3637)

  • The error position reported for errors found in f-strings was misleading. (Github issue :issue:3674)

  • The new c_api_binop_methods directive was added for forward compatibility, but can only be set to True (the current default value). It can be disabled in Cython 3.0.
