Given the apparent lack of issues with the beta (which is a good thing I hope), I've posted http://cython.org/release/ Cython-0.12.1.rc1.tar.gz which, unless something unexpected comes up, will be the actual release. One last thing we need to resolve is http://trac.cython.org/cython_trac/ticket/387 (the doctesting support via __test__). So far it hasn't seemed to be causing any problems, should we just leave it on and close that ticket? I agree the implementation could be improved. - Robert Preliminary release notes: http://wiki.cython.org/ReleaseNotes-0.12.1 = Cython 0.11.2 = * Release date: February X, 2010 I'm happy to announce the release of Cython 0.12.1. http://cython.org/release/Cython-0.12.1.rc1.tar.gz == New Features == * Type inference improvements. There have been several bug fixes and improvements to the type inferencer. Notably, there is now a "safe" mode enabled by setting the infer_types directive to None. (The None here refers to the "default" mode, which will be the default in 0.13.) This safe mode limits inference to Python object types and C doubles, which should speed up execution without affecting any semantics such as integer overflow behavior like infer_types=True might. There is also a verbose which allows one to see what types are inferred. * The boundscheck directive works for lists and tuples as well as buffers. * len(s) and s.decode("encoding") are efficiently supported for char* s. * Cython's INLINE macro has been renamed to CYTHON_INLINE to reduce conflict and has better support for Windows. * Revision history is now omitted from the source package, resulting in a 85% size reduction. Typing make repo will download the this history and turn the directory into a complete working repository. * Cython modules don't need to be recompiled when the size of an external type grows. (A warning, rather than an error, is produced.) This should be helpful for binary distributions relying on NumPy. Several other bugs and minor improvements have been made. This release should be fully backwards compatible with 0.12. == Contributors to this release == * Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis * Stefan Behnel * Robert Bradshaw * Lisandro Dalcin * Julien Danjou * Mark Lodato * Dag Sverre Seljebotn Thanks also to everybody who's helping us out in our discussions on the mailing list. http://trac.cython.org/cython_trac/query?group=component&milestone=0.12.1 _______________________________________________ Cython-dev mailing list [email protected] http://codespeak.net/mailman/listinfo/cython-dev
