==================

Features added

  • Cython now leaves markers about its utility code dependencies in the generated C code
    to help debugging "unused function" C compiler warnings.
    (Github issue :issue:7294)

Bugs fixed

  • Relative imports could fail if the shared utility module is used.
    This bug was introduces in Cython 3.2.0.
    (Github issue :issue:7290)

    This bug was introduces in Cython 3.2.0.
    (Github issue :issue:7312)

  • Using the shared utility module left an unused C function in user modules with memoryviews.
    To make debugging this kind of issue easier, Cython now leaves "used by …" markers in the
    generated C files that indicate why a specific piece of utility code was included.
    This bug was introduces in Cython 3.2.0.
    (Github issue :issue:7293)

v3.2.0

Compare Source

==================

(Complete changelog for the 3.2.0 release, including pre-releases.)

Features added

  • Builtin exception types are now inferred.
    (Github issue :issue:6908)

  • The list of known, inferred and optimised Python builtins was updated.
    range is now considered a type. ascii, bin, format, hex, oct were added as functions.
    (Github issue :issue:6931)

  • The f-string syntax was extended according to PEP-701.
    (Github issue :issue:5452)

  • t-strings are implemented according to PEP-750. The implementation backports the template classes
    but prefers existing backports if installed separately.
    (Github issue :issue:6811)

  • Unknown return type annotations with -> are no longer rejected but produce warnings.
    This allows better integration with Python type hints that are not always usable for Cython.
    -> None is also allowed now.
    Patch by jpe. (Github issue :issue:6946)

  • The runtime Python dispatch for fused functions is substantially faster.
    (Github issues :issue:1385, :issue:6996)

  • Freelists (via cdef class decorator and for internally used types such as async)
    are now also used in the Limited API and with extension type specs enabled.
    (Github issue :issue:7151)

  • Module imports now quickly check for an already imported module to speed up reimports.
    Patch by Lysandros Nikolaou. (Github issue :issue:7035)

  • Type checks on PEP-604 union types (int | None) are optimised into separate checks.
    (Github issue :issue:6935)

  • Assignments to the PEP-604 union type float | None allow any suitable Python number as input
    and convert it to a Python float automatically.
    (Github issue :issue:5750)

  • Item type inference was improved for looping over literals.
    (Github issue :issue:6912)

  • Looping over literal sequences and strings now uses efficient C array looping if possible.
    (Github issue :issue:6926)

  • Releasing the GIL from an unknown lock state is more efficient.
    (Github issue :issue:6847)

  • cython.critical_section(PyMutex) now works, as with Python objects.
    (Github issue :issue:6847)

  • bool(c_int/float/ptr) avoid passing through Python objects.
    (Github issue :issue:7015)

  • Variables assigned inside of prange loops can now be initialised outside of the loop.
    (Github issue :issue:7178)

  • Unused exceptions in except clauses are detected in some more cases to avoid their normalisation.
    (Github issue :issue:7021)

  • Mixed operations on C integers with Python ints use less code and are more streamlined for Py3.12+.
    (Github issue :issue:7244)

  • Some object constants are now marked as immortal to speed up their reference counting
    in recent CPython versions. This can be configured with the CYTHON_IMMORTAL_CONSTANTS C macro.
    (Github issue :issue:7118)

  • Further improvements were made to reduce the size of the resulting extension modules.
    (Github issue :issue:6983, :issue:7199, :issue:7220, :issue:7238,
    :issue:7255, :issue:7265)

  • Several improvements were made in freethreaded Python code.
    (Github issues :issue:6936, :issue:6939, :issue:6949, :issue:6984,
    :issue:7011, :issue:7066, :issue:7114, :issue:7200)

  • Several improvements were made for the Limited API.
    (Github issues :issue:6959, :issue:6991)

    Patch by Michael Šimáček. (Github issue :issue:7074)

  • Some GIL-safe C-API wrappers were added to the libc/libcpp declarations.
    (Github issue :issue:6829, :issue:6993)

  • String and number constants use less storage space in the module.
    (Github issues :issue:6971, :issue:6978, :issue:6986)

  • The managed dict/weakref support in CPython 3.12+ is used for internal types
    to benefit from future CPython optimisations here.

  • Using NaN as exception return value is supported.
    (Github issues :issue:6900, :issue:6903)

  • Declarations for C++ condition variables were added.
    (Github issue :issue:6836)

  • The annotated source HTML page shows alternating +/− markers to open/close lines.
    Patch by Kamil Monicz. (Github issue :issue:7099)

  • cython --embed gained a new option --embed-modules=… to list further extension modules
    that will be statically linked into the generated extension module, to get them initialised
    on application start.
    (Github issue :issue:2849)

  • The setup.py script of Cython now allows passing the desired Limited API version
    like --cython-limited-api=3.11.
    (Github issue :issue:7228)

    (Github issue :issue:6836)

Bugs fixed

  • References to the Python bool type could generate invalid C code.
    (Github issue :issue:6902)

  • Using cython.pymutex in an extension type declared as public or api
    generated invalid C code missing the required PyMutex declarations.
    (Github issues :issue:6992, :issue:6995)

  • Cython's type sharing across modules suffered from race conditions if multiple modules
    tried to initialise and share their types concurrently. This is due to an underlying
    CPython issue and cannot easily be worked around completely. In the common case that
    module dicts are plain Python dict objects, however, Cython now uses a .setdefault()
    equivalent for thread-safe type sharing.
    See python/cpython#137422
    (Github issue :issue:7076)

  • Cython incorrectly called PyList_GetItemRef() in PyPy and GraalPython before Py3.13.

    that includes instance dict state is now an error.
    (Github issue :issue:7222)

  • The type objects of heap types were not always correctly decrefed on deallocation.
    (Github issue :issue:7145)

  • Pure mode type aliases like p_int or ulong leaked into some C type contexts,
    risking to conflict with user declarations.
    (Github issues :issue:6922, :issue:6339)

  • Boolean (emptyness) tests on builtin containers could fail to handle (unlikely) errors.
    (Github issue :issue:7090)

  • The return type of bytes.join() was sometimes inferred as plain object.
    (Github issue :issue:6987)

  • Type inference could fail to understand prange() arguments.
    (Github issue :issue:6974)

  • embedsignatures failed if lambda was used in function default arguments.
    (Github issue :issue:6880)

    (Github issue :issue:6957)

  • PyType_FromModuleAndSpec was incorrectly used in Limited API code before Py3.10.
    (Github issue :issue:7181)

  • Conversion code for memoryview dtypes from and to Python objects generated C warnings about
    incorrect const / non-const casting code.
    (Github issue :issue:7219)

  • Cython's tools and frontend scripts now use python3 instead of just python
    in their shebang line.
    Patch by Matti Picus. (Github issue :issue:7053)

  • Extension arguments defined for the shared code module were ignored in cythonize().
    (Github issue :issue:7251)

  • Trying to instantiate internal types used by Cython is now prohibited.
    (Github issue :issue:7263)

  • The setup.py script in the Demos/ subdirectory failed to build.
    (Github issue :issue:7228)

  • The cygdb program failed to work with virtualenvs on Windows.
    Patch by Merlin. (Github issue :issue:7268)

  • Includes all fixes as of Cython 3.1.6.

Other changes

  • Some lesser used platforms (Windows ARM/i686, macOS x86_64, Linux i686, musllinux)
    now use Py3.9 abi3 binary wheels instead of Python version specific wheels.
    We also added an abi3 wheel for armv7l.
    (Github issues :issue:7227, :issue:7248, :issue:7250)

  • Usages of Py_TPFLAGS_HAVE_FINALIZE were removed. The constant remains available as cimport from
    cpython.object for legacy reasons.

  • On item access, Cython could try the sequence protocol before the mapping protocol
    in some cases if an object supports both.
    (Github issue :issue:5776)

  • A C compiler warning was resolved.
    (Github issue :issue:5794)

    Patch by Mads Ynddal. (Github issue :issue:5805)

v3.0.5

Compare Source

==================

Features added

  • Preliminary support for CPython 3.13a1 was added to allow early testing.
    (Github issue :issue:5767)

Bugs fixed

  • A compiler crash was fixed.
    (Github issue :issue:5771)

  • A typo in the always_allow_keywords directive for Python code was fixed.
    Patch by lk-1984. (Github issue :issue:5772)

  • Some C compiler warnings were resolved.
    Patch by Pierre Jolivet. (Github issue :issue:5780)

v3.0.4

Compare Source

==================

Features added

  • A new compiler directive show_performance_hints was added to disable the
    newly added performance hint output.
    (Github issue :issue:5748)

Bugs fixed

  • ```cythonize required ``distutils`` even for operations that did not build binaries. (Github issue :issue:5751`)

  • A regression in 3.0.3 was fixed that prevented calling inline functions
    from another inline function in .pxd files.
    (Github issue :issue:5748)

  • Some C compiler warnings were resolved.
    Patch by Pierre Jolivet. (Github issue :issue:5756)

v3.0.3

Compare Source

==================

Features added

  • More warnings were added to help users migrate and avoid bugs.
    (Github issue :issue:5650)

  • A warning-like category for performance hints was added that bypasses -Werror.
    (Github issue :issue:5673)

  • FastGIL now uses standard thread_local in C++.
    (Github issue :issue:5640)

  • reference_wrapper was added to libcpp.functional.
    Patch by Vyas Ramasubramani. (Github issue :issue:5671)

  • The cythonize command now supports the --cplus option known from the cython command.
    (Github issue :issue:5736)

Bugs fixed

  • Performance regressions where the GIL was needlessly acquired were fixed.
    (Github issues :issue:5670, :issue:5700)

  • A reference leak for exceptions in Python 3.12 was resolved.
    Patch by Eric Johnson. (Github issue :issue:5724)

  • fastcall calls with keyword arguments generated incorrect C code.
    (Github issue :issue:5665)

  • Assigning the type converted result of a conditional (if-else) expression
    to int or bool variables could lead to incorrect C code.
    (Github issue :issue:5731)

  • Early (unlikely) failures in Python function wrappers no longer set a
    traceback in order to simplify the C code flow. Being mostly memory
    allocation errors, they probably would never have created a traceback anyway.
    (Github issue :issue:5681)

  • Relative cimports from packages with __init__.py files could fail.
    (Github issue :issue:5715)

  • Several issues with the Limited API support were resolved.
    (Github issues :issue:5641, :issue:5648, :issue:5689)

  • The code generated for special-casing both Cython functions and PyCFunctions was cleaned up
    to avoid calling C-API functions that were not meant for the other type respectively.
    This could previously trigger assertions in CPython debug builds and now also plays better
    with the Limited API.
    (Github issues :issue:4804, :issue:5739)

  • Fix some C compiler warnings.
    Patches by Ralf Gommers, Oleksandr Pavlyk, Sebastian Koslowski et al.
    (Github issues :issue:5651, :issue:5663, :issue:5668, :issue:5717, :issue:5726, :issue:5734)

  • Generating gdb debugging information failed when using generator expressions.
    Patch by Oleksandr Pavlyk. (Github issue :issue:5552)

  • Passing a setuptools.Extension into cythonize() instead of a
    distutils.Extension could make it miss the matching extensions.

  • cython -M needlessly required distutils, which made it fail in Python 3.12.
    (Github issue :issue:5681)

Other changes

  • The visible deprecation warning for DEF was removed again since it proved
    difficult for some users to migrate away from it. The statement is still
    meant to be removed at some point (and thus, like IF, should not be
    used in new code), but the time for sunset is probably not around the corner.
    (Github issue :issue:4310)

  • The np_pythran option raise a DeprecationWarning if it receives other values
    than True and False. This will eventually be disallowed (in line with all
    other boolean options).

v3.0.2

Compare Source

==================

Bugs fixed

  • Using None as default value for arguments annotated as int could crash Cython.
    (Github issue :issue:5643)

  • Default values of fused types that include complex could generate invalid C code
    with -DCYTHON_CCOMPLEX=0.
    (Github issue :issue:5644)

  • Using C++ enum class types in extension type method signatures could generate invalid C code.
    (Github issue :issue:5637)

Compare Source

===================

Bugs fixed

  • Release 3.0.11 introduced some incorrect noexcept warnings.
    (Github issue :issue:6335)

  • Conditional assignments to variables using the walrus operator could crash.
    (Github issue :issue:6094)

  • Dict assignments to struct members with reserved C names could generate invalid C code.

  • Fused ctuples with the same entry types but different sizes could fail to compile.
    (Github issue :issue:6328)

  • In Py3, pyximport was not searching sys.path when looking for importable source files.
    (Github issue :issue:5615)

  • Using & 0 on integers produced with int.from_bytes() could read invalid memory on Python 3.10.
    (Github issue :issue:6480)

  • Modules could fail to compile in PyPy 3.11 due to missing CPython specific header files.
    Patch by Matti Picus. (Github issue :issue:6482)

  • Minor fix in C++ partial_sum() declaration.

v3.0.0

Compare Source

===========================

Cython 3.0.0 has been a very large effort that cleaned up many old warts,
introduced many new features, and introduces a couple of intentional
behaviour changes, even though the goal remained to stay compatible as
much as possible with Cython 0.29.x. For details, see the migration guide_.

.. _migration guide: https://cython.readthedocs.io/en/latest/src/userguide/migrating_to_cy30.html

As the development was spread out over several years, a lot of things have
happened in the meantime. Many crucial bugfixes and some features were
backported to 0.29.x and are not strictly speaking "new" in Cython 3.0.0.

Keep it on <3 for now, we will likely remove it once all the recipes are built in an isolated environment.
