impact the C compiler optimisations for parallel OpenMP code etc.  Also, it is
now helped by static branch hints.
(Github issue :issue:`2987`)

* Cython's built-in OpenMP functions were not translated inside of call arguments.
Original patch by Celelibi and David Woods.  (Github issue :issue:`3594`)

(Github issue :issue:`2736`, :issue:`2755`)

* A C compiler warning about an invalid safety check was resolved.
(Github issue :issue:`2731`)

0.29.1

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

Bugs fixed
----------

* Extensions compiled with MinGW-64 under Windows could misinterpret integer
objects larger than 15 bit and return incorrect results.
(Github issue :issue:`2670`)

* Cython no longer requires the source to be writable when copying its data
into a memory view slice.
Patch by Andrey Paramonov.  (Github issue :issue:`2644`)

* Line tracing of ``try``-statements generated invalid C code.
(Github issue :issue:`2274`)

* When using the ``warn.undeclared`` directive, Cython's own code generated
warnings that are now fixed.
Patch by Nicolas Pauss.  (Github issue :issue:`2685`)

* Cython's memoryviews no longer require strides for setting the shape field
but only the ``PyBUF_ND`` flag to be set.
Patch by John Kirkham.  (Github issue :issue:`2716`)

* Some C compiler warnings about unused memoryview code were fixed.
Patch by Ho Cheuk Ting.  (Github issue :issue:`2588`)

* A C compiler warning about implicit signed/unsigned conversion was fixed.
(Github issue :issue:`2729`)

* Assignments to C++ references returned by ``operator[]`` could fail to compile.
(Github issue :issue:`2671`)

* The power operator and the support for NumPy math functions were fixed
in Pythran expressions.
Patch by Serge Guelton.  (Github issues :issue:`2702`, :issue:`2709`)

* Signatures with memory view arguments now show the expected type
when embedded in docstrings.
Patch by Matthew Chan and Benjamin Weigel.  (Github issue :issue:`2634`)

* Some ``from ... cimport ...`` constructs were not correctly considered
when searching modified dependencies in ``cythonize()`` to decide
whether to recompile a module.
Patch by Kryštof Pilnáček.  (Github issue :issue:`2638`)

* A struct field type in the ``cpython.array`` declarations was corrected.
Patch by John Kirkham.  (Github issue :issue:`2712`)

0.29

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

Features added
--------------

* PEP-489 multi-phase module initialisation has been enabled again.  Module
reloads in other subinterpreters raise an exception to prevent corruption
of the static module state.

* A set of ``mypy`` compatible PEP-484 declarations were added for Cython's C data
types to integrate with static analysers in typed Python code.  They are available
in the ``Cython/Shadow.pyi`` module and describe the types in the special ``cython``
module that can be used for typing in Python code.
Original patch by Julian Gethmann. (Github issue :issue:`1965`)

* Memoryviews are supported in PEP-484/526 style type declarations.
(Github issue :issue:`2529`)

* ``cython.nogil`` is supported as a C-function decorator in Python code.
(Github issue :issue:`2557`)

* Raising exceptions from nogil code will automatically acquire the GIL, instead
of requiring an explicit ``with gil`` block.

* C++ functions can now be declared as potentially raising both C++ and Python
exceptions, so that Cython can handle both correctly.
(Github issue :issue:`2615`)

* ``cython.inline()`` supports a direct ``language_level`` keyword argument that
was previously only available via a directive.

* A new language level name ``3str`` was added that mostly corresponds to language
level 3, but keeps unprefixed string literals as type 'str' in both Py2 and Py3,
and the builtin 'str' type unchanged.  This will become the default in the next
Cython release and is meant to help user code a) transition more easily to this
new default and b) migrate to Python 3 source code semantics without making support
for Python 2.x difficult.

* In CPython 3.6 and later, looking up globals in the module dict is almost
as fast as looking up C globals.
(Github issue :issue:`2313`)

* For a Python subclass of an extension type, repeated method calls to non-overridden
cpdef methods can avoid the attribute lookup in Py3.6+, which makes them 4x faster.
(Github issue :issue:`2313`)

* (In-)equality comparisons of objects to integer literals are faster.
(Github issue :issue:`2188`)

* Some internal and 1-argument method calls are faster.

* Modules that cimport many external extension types from other Cython modules
execute less import requests during module initialisation.

* Constant tuples and slices are deduplicated and only created once per module.
(Github issue :issue:`2292`)

* The coverage plugin considers more C file extensions such as ``.cc`` and ``.cxx``.
(Github issue :issue:`2266`)

* The ``cythonize`` command accepts compile time variable values (as set by ``DEF``)
through the new ``-E`` option.
Patch by Jerome Kieffer.  (Github issue :issue:`2315`)

* ``pyximport`` can import from namespace packages.
Patch by Prakhar Goel.  (Github issue :issue:`2294`)

* Some missing numpy and CPython C-API declarations were added.
Patch by John Kirkham. (Github issues :issue:`2523`, :issue:`2520`, :issue:`2537`)

* Declarations for the ``pylifecycle`` C-API functions were added in a new .pxd file
``cpython.pylifecycle``.

* The Pythran support was updated to work with the latest Pythran 0.8.7.
Original patch by Adrien Guinet.  (Github issue :issue:`2600`)

* ``%a`` is included in the string formatting types that are optimised into f-strings.
In this case, it is also automatically mapped to ``%r`` in Python 2.x.

* New C macro ``CYTHON_HEX_VERSION`` to access Cython's version in the same style as
``PY_VERSION_HEX``.

* Constants in ``libc.math`` are now declared as ``const`` to simplify their handling.

* An additional ``check_size`` clause was added to the ``ctypedef class`` name
specification to allow suppressing warnings when importing modules with
backwards-compatible ``PyTypeObject`` size changes.
Patch by Matti Picus.  (Github issue :issue:`2627`)

Bugs fixed
----------

* The exception handling in generators and coroutines under CPython 3.7 was adapted
to the newly introduced exception stack.  Users of Cython 0.28 who want to support
Python 3.7 are encouraged to upgrade to 0.29 to avoid potentially incorrect error
reporting and tracebacks.  (Github issue :issue:`1958`)

* Crash when importing a module under Stackless Python that was built for CPython.
Patch by Anselm Kruis.  (Github issue :issue:`2534`)

* 2-value slicing of typed sequences failed if the start or stop index was None.
Patch by Christian Gibson.  (Github issue :issue:`2508`)

* Multiplied string literals lost their factor when they are part of another
constant expression (e.g. 'x' * 10 + 'y' => 'xy').

* String formatting with the '%' operator didn't call the special ``__rmod__()``
method if the right side is a string subclass that implements it.
(Python issue 28598)

* The directive ``language_level=3`` did not apply to the first token in the
source file.  (Github issue :issue:`2230`)

* Overriding cpdef methods did not work in Python subclasses with slots.
Note that this can have a performance impact on calls from Cython code.
(Github issue :issue:`1771`)

* Fix declarations of builtin or C types using strings in pure python mode.
(Github issue :issue:`2046`)

* Generator expressions and lambdas failed to compile in ``cfunc`` functions.
(Github issue :issue:`459`)

* Global names with ``const`` types were not excluded from star-import assignments
which could lead to invalid C code.
(Github issue :issue:`2621`)

* Several internal function signatures were fixed that lead to warnings in gcc-8.
(Github issue :issue:`2363`)

* The numpy helper functions ``set_array_base()`` and ``get_array_base()``
were adapted to the current numpy C-API recommendations.
Patch by Matti Picus. (Github issue :issue:`2528`)

* Some NumPy related code was updated to avoid deprecated API usage.
Original patch by jbrockmendel.  (Github issue :issue:`2559`)

* Several C++ STL declarations were extended and corrected.
Patch by Valentin Valls. (Github issue :issue:`2207`)

* C lines of the module init function were unconditionally not reported in
exception stack traces.
Patch by Jeroen Demeyer.  (Github issue :issue:`2492`)

* When PEP-489 support is enabled, reloading the module overwrote any static
module state. It now raises an exception instead, given that reloading is
not actually supported.

* Object-returning, C++ exception throwing functions were not checking that
the return value was non-null.
Original patch by Matt Wozniski (Github issue :issue:`2603`)

* The source file encoding detection could get confused if the
``c_string_encoding`` directive appeared within the first two lines.
(Github issue :issue:`2632`)

* Cython generated modules no longer emit a warning during import when the
size of the NumPy array type is larger than what was found at compile time.
Instead, this is assumed to be a backwards compatible change on NumPy side.

Other changes
-------------

* Cython now emits a warning when no ``language_level`` (2, 3 or '3str') is set
explicitly, neither as a ``cythonize()`` option nor as a compiler directive.
This is meant to prepare the transition of the default language level from
currently Py2 to Py3, since that is what most new users will expect these days.
The future default will, however, not enforce unicode literals, because this
has proven a major obstacle in the support for both Python 2.x and 3.x.  The
next major release is intended to make this change, so that it will parse all
code that does not request a specific language level as Python 3 code, but with
``str`` literals.  The language level 2 will continue to be supported for an
indefinite time.

* The documentation was restructured, cleaned up and examples are now tested.
The NumPy tutorial was also rewritten to simplify the running example.
Contributed by Gabriel de Marmiesse.  (Github issue :issue:`2245`)

* Cython compiles less of its own modules at build time to reduce the installed
package size to about half of its previous size.  This makes the compiler
slightly slower, by about 5-7%.

0.28.6

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

Bugs fixed
----------

* Extensions compiled with MinGW-64 under Windows could misinterpret integer
objects larger than 15 bit and return incorrect results.
(Github issue :issue:`2670`)

* Multiplied string literals lost their factor when they are part of another
constant expression (e.g. 'x' * 10 + 'y' => 'xy').

0.28.5

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

Bugs fixed
----------

* The discouraged usage of GCC's attribute ``optimize("Os")`` was replaced by the
similar attribute ``cold`` to reduce the code impact of the module init functions.
(Github issue :issue:`2494`)

* A reference leak in Py2.x was fixed when comparing str to unicode for equality.

0.28.4

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

Bugs fixed
----------

* Reallowing ``tp_clear()`` in a subtype of an ``no_gc_clear`` extension type
generated an invalid C function call to the (non-existent) base type implementation.
(Github issue :issue:`2309`)

* Exception catching based on a non-literal (runtime) tuple could fail to match the
exception.  (Github issue :issue:`2425`)

* Compile fix for CPython 3.7.0a2.  (Github issue :issue:`2477`)

0.28.3

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

Bugs fixed
----------

* Set iteration was broken in non-CPython since 0.28.

* ``UnicodeEncodeError`` in Py2 when ``%s`` formatting is optimised for
unicode strings.  (Github issue :issue:`2276`)

* Work around a crash bug in g++ 4.4.x by disabling the size reduction setting
of the module init function in this version.  (Github issue :issue:`2235`)

* Crash when exceptions occur early during module initialisation.
(Github issue :issue:`2199`)

0.28.2

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

Features added
--------------

* ``abs()`` is faster for Python long objects.

* The C++11 methods ``front()`` and ``end()`` were added to the declaration of
``libcpp.string``.  Patch by Alex Huszagh.  (Github issue :issue:`2123`)

* The C++11 methods ``reserve()`` and ``bucket_count()`` are declared for
``libcpp.unordered_map``.  Patch by Valentin Valls.  (Github issue :issue:`2168`)

Bugs fixed
----------

* The copy of a read-only memoryview was considered read-only as well, whereas
a common reason to copy a read-only view is to make it writable.  The result
of the copying is now a writable buffer by default.
(Github issue :issue:`2134`)

* The ``switch`` statement generation failed to apply recursively to the body of
converted if-statements.

* ``NULL`` was sometimes rejected as exception return value when the returned
type is a fused pointer type.
Patch by Callie LeFave.  (Github issue :issue:`2177`)

* Fixed compatibility with PyPy 5.11.
Patch by Matti Picus.  (Github issue :issue:`2165`)

Other changes
-------------

* The NumPy tutorial was rewritten to use memoryviews instead of the older
buffer declaration syntax.
Contributed by Gabriel de Marmiesse.  (Github issue :issue:`2162`)

0.28.1

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

Bugs fixed
----------

* ``PyFrozenSet_New()`` was accidentally used in PyPy where it is missing
from the C-API.

* Assignment between some C++ templated types were incorrectly rejected
when the templates mix ``const`` with ``ctypedef``.
(Github issue :issue:`2148`)

* Undeclared C++ no-args constructors in subclasses could make the compilation
fail if the base class constructor was declared without ``nogil``.
(Github issue :issue:`2157`)

* Bytes %-formatting inferred ``basestring`` (bytes or unicode) as result type
in some cases where ``bytes`` would have been safe to infer.
(Github issue :issue:`2153`)

* ``None`` was accidentally disallowed as typed return value of ``dict.pop()``.
(Github issue :issue:`2152`)

0.28

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

Features added
--------------

* Cdef classes can now multiply inherit from ordinary Python classes.
(The primary base must still be a c class, possibly ``object``, and
the other bases must *not* be cdef classes.)

* Type inference is now supported for Pythran compiled NumPy expressions.
Patch by Nils Braun.  (Github issue :issue:`1954`)

* The ``const`` modifier can be applied to memoryview declarations to allow
read-only buffers as input.  (Github issues :issue:`1605`, :issue:`1869`)

* C code in the docstring of a ``cdef extern`` block is copied verbatimly
into the generated file.
Patch by Jeroen Demeyer.  (Github issue :issue:`1915`)

* When compiling with gcc, the module init function is now tuned for small
code size instead of whatever compile flags were provided externally.
Cython now also disables some code intensive optimisations in that function
to further reduce the code size.  (Github issue :issue:`2102`)

* Decorating an async coroutine with ``cython.iterable_coroutine`` changes its
type at compile time to make it iterable.  While this is not strictly in line
with PEP-492, it improves the interoperability with old-style coroutines that
use ``yield from`` instead of ``await``.

* The IPython magic has preliminary support for JupyterLab.
(Github issue :issue:`1775`)

* The new TSS C-API in CPython 3.7 is supported and has been backported.
Patch by Naotoshi Seo.  (Github issue :issue:`1932`)

* Cython knows the new ``Py_tss_t`` type defined in PEP-539 and automatically
initialises variables declared with that type to ``Py_tss_NEEDS_INIT``,
a value which cannot be used outside of static assignments.

* The set methods ``.remove()`` and ``.discard()`` are optimised.
Patch by Antoine Pitrou.  (Github issue :issue:`2042`)

* ``dict.pop()`` is optimised.
Original patch by Antoine Pitrou.  (Github issue :issue:`2047`)

* Iteration over sets and frozensets is optimised.
(Github issue :issue:`2048`)

* Safe integer loops (< range(2^30)) are automatically optimised into C loops.

* ``alist.extend([a,b,c])`` is optimised into sequential ``list.append()`` calls
for short literal sequences.

* Calls to builtin methods that are not specifically optimised into C-API calls
now use a cache that avoids repeated lookups of the underlying C function.
(Github issue :issue:`2054`)

* Single argument function calls can avoid the argument tuple creation in some cases.

* Some redundant extension type checks are avoided.

* Formatting C enum values in f-strings is faster, as well as some other special cases.

* String formatting with the '%' operator is optimised into f-strings in simple cases.

* Subscripting (item access) is faster in some cases.

* Some ``bytearray`` operations have been optimised similar to ``bytes``.

* Some PEP-484/526 container type declarations are now considered for
loop optimisations.

* Indexing into memoryview slices with ``view[i][j]`` is now optimised into
``view[i, j]``.

* Python compatible ``cython.*`` types can now be mixed with type declarations
in Cython syntax.

* Name lookups in the module and in classes are faster.

* Python attribute lookups on extension types without instance dict are faster.

* Some missing signals were added to ``libc/signal.pxd``.
Patch by Jeroen Demeyer.  (Github issue :issue:`1914`)

* The warning about repeated extern declarations is now visible by default.
(Github issue :issue:`1874`)

* The exception handling of the function types used by CPython's type slot
functions was corrected to match the de-facto standard behaviour, so that
code that uses them directly benefits from automatic and correct exception
propagation.  Patch by Jeroen Demeyer.  (Github issue :issue:`1980`)

* Defining the macro ``CYTHON_NO_PYINIT_EXPORT`` will prevent the module init
function from being exported as symbol, e.g. when linking modules statically
in an embedding setup.  Patch by AraHaan.  (Github issue :issue:`1944`)

Bugs fixed
----------

* If a module name is explicitly provided for an ``Extension()`` that is compiled
via ``cythonize()``, it was previously ignored and replaced by the source file
name.  It can now be used to override the target module name, e.g. for compiling
prefixed accelerator modules from Python files.  (Github issue :issue:`2038`)

* The arguments of the ``num_threads`` parameter of parallel sections
were not sufficiently validated and could lead to invalid C code.
(Github issue :issue:`1957`)

* Catching exceptions with a non-trivial exception pattern could call into
CPython with a live exception set.  This triggered incorrect behaviour
and crashes, especially in CPython 3.7.

* The signature of the special ``__richcmp__()`` method was corrected to recognise
the type of the first argument as ``self``.  It was previously treated as plain
object, but CPython actually guarantees that it always has the correct type.
Note: this can change the semantics of user code that previously relied on
``self`` being untyped.

* Some Python 3 exceptions were not recognised as builtins when running Cython
under Python 2.

* Some async helper functions were not defined in the generated C code when
compiling simple async code.  (Github issue :issue:`2075`)

* Line tracing did not include generators and coroutines.
(Github issue :issue:`1949`)

* C++ declarations for ``unordered_map`` were corrected.
Patch by Michael Schatzow.  (Github issue :issue:`1484`)

* Iterator declarations in C++ ``deque`` and ``vector`` were corrected.
Patch by Alex Huszagh.  (Github issue :issue:`1870`)

* The const modifiers in the C++ ``string`` declarations were corrected, together
with the coercion behaviour of string literals into C++ strings.
(Github issue :issue:`2132`)

* Some declaration types in ``libc.limits`` were corrected.
Patch by Jeroen Demeyer.  (Github issue :issue:`2016`)

* ``cython.final`` was not accepted on Python classes with an ``cython.cclass``
decorator.  (Github issue :issue:`2040`)

* Cython no longer creates useless and incorrect ``PyInstanceMethod`` wrappers for
methods in Python 3.  Patch by Jeroen Demeyer.  (Github issue :issue:`2105`)

* The builtin ``bytearray`` type could not be used as base type of cdef classes.
(Github issue :issue:`2106`)
