We're pleased to announce PyPy 2.6.1, an update to PyPy 2.6.0 released June 1.
We have updated stdlib to 2.7.10, `cffi`_ to version 1.2, extended support for
-the new vmprof_ statistical profiler for multiple threads, partially
-implemented unicode dtypes in numpy, added support for the axis keyword to
-many numpy methods, and in general improved numpy compatability.
+the new vmprof_ statistical profiler for multiple threads, and increased
+functionality of numpy.

* New features:
- *
+ * cffi was updated to version 1.2
+
+ * The python stdlib was updated to 2.7.10 from 2.7.9
+
+ * vmprof now supports multiple threads
+
+ * The translation process builds cffi import libraries for some stdlib
+ packages, which should prevent confusion when package.py is not used
+
+ * better support for gdb debugging
+
+ * freebsd should be able to translate PyPy "out of the box" with no patches
* Numpy:
- *
+ * Better support for record dtypes, including the ``align`` keyword
- *
+ * Implement casting and create output arrays accordingly (still missing some
corner cases)
+
+ * Support creation of unicode ndarrays
+
+ * Better support ndarray.flags
+
+ * Support ``axis`` argument in more functions
+
+ * Refactor array indexing to support ellipses
+
+ * Allow the docstrings of built-in numpy objects to be set at run-time
+
+ * Support the ``buffered`` nditer creation keyword
* Performance improvements:
- *
+ * Delay recursive calls to make them non-recursive
- *
+ * Skip loop unrolling if it compiles too much code
- *
+ * Tweak the heapcache
- *
+ * Add a list strategy for lists that store both floats and 32-bit integers.
+ The latter are encoded as nonstandard NaNs. Benchmarks show that the speed
+ of such lists is now very close to the speed of purely-int or purely-float
+ lists.
+
+ * Simplify implementation of ffi.gc() to avoid most weakrefs
+
+ * Massively improve the performance of map() with more than
+ one sequence argument
