Sources are up in their usual places. The largest addition was Dag
Seljebotn's buffer support which is amazing. Kudos to him for all his
hard work (and to Enthought/Google for funding him this summer). Part
of this effort involved moving to a pipeline/transformation based
compilation system, which has allowed for many other nice features
(e.g. long if statements get translated into c switch statements if
possible).
Another big inclusion is Paul Prescod's pyximport. Now one can simply
start up Python and type
import pyximport; pyximport.install()
import foo
which will compile foo.pyx for you. We would like to be able to
(optionally) specify all options via directives in the files
themselves, which would make this even more useful.
There are numerous fixes and improvements by Stefan Behnel, Dag
Seljebotn, and Robert Bradshaw that are not listed here. Among them
are better support for Py3, unicode, C++, literals, testing
framework, etc. We also merged patches by Jim Kleckner, Hoyt Koepke,
Marcus Bitzl, Kirill Smelkov, and Carl Witty.
Also, a (far from exhaustive) summary of the tickets closed, see:
