+- update to 1.10.0:
+ * Issue #295: use calloc() directly instead of PyObject_Malloc()+memset()
+ to handle ffi.new() with a default allocator. Speeds up ffi.new(large-array)
+ where most of the time you never touch most of the array.
+ * Some OS/X build fixes (“only with Xcode but without CLT”).
+ * Improve a couple of error messages: when getting mismatched versions of
+ cffi and its backend; and when calling functions which cannot be called
with
+ libffi because an argument is a struct that is “too complicated” (and not
+ a struct pointer, which always works).
+ * Add support for some unusual compilers (non-msvc, non-gcc, non-icc,
non-clang)
+ * Implemented the remaining cases for ffi.from_buffer. Now all
+ buffer/memoryview objects can be passed. The one remaining check is against
+ passing unicode strings in Python 2. (They support the buffer interface,
but
+ that gives the raw bytes behind the UTF16/UCS4 storage, which is most of
the
+ times not what you expect. In Python 3 this has been fixed and the unicode
+ strings don’t support the memoryview interface any more.)
+ * The C type _Bool or bool now converts to a Python boolean when reading,
+ instead of the content of the byte as an integer. The potential
+ incompatibility here is what occurs if the byte contains a value different
+ from 0 and 1. Previously, it would just return it; with this change, CFFI
+ raises an exception in this case. But this case means “undefined behavior”
+ in C; if you really have to interface with a library relying on this,
+ don’t use bool in the CFFI side. Also, it is still valid to use a byte
+ string as initializer for a bool[], but now it must only contain \x00 or
+ \x01. As an aside, ffi.string() no longer works on bool[] (but it never
made
+ much sense, as this function stops at the first zero).
+ * ffi.buffer is now the name of cffi’s buffer type, and ffi.buffer() works
+ like before but is the constructor of that type.
+ * ffi.addressof(lib, "name") now works also in in-line mode, not only in
+ out-of-line mode. This is useful for taking the address of global
variables.
+ * Issue #255: cdata objects of a primitive type (integers, floats, char) are
+ now compared and ordered by value. For example, <cdata 'int' 42> compares
+ equal to 42 and <cdata 'char' b'A'> compares equal to b'A'. Unlike C,
+ <cdata 'int' -1> does not compare equal to ffi.cast("unsigned int", -1): it
+ compares smaller, because -1 < 4294967295.
+ * PyPy: ffi.new() and ffi.new_allocator()() did not record “memory pressure”,
+ causing the GC to run too infrequently if you call ffi.new() very often
+ and/or with large arrays. Fixed in PyPy 5.7.
+ * Support in ffi.cdef() for numeric expressions with + or -. Assumes that
+ there is no overflow; it should be fixed first before we add more general
+ support for arbitrary arithmetic on constants.
