+- update to 3.0.8:
+  * Using const together with defined fused types could fail to
+    compile. (Github issue :issue:`5230`)
+  * A "use after free" bug was fixed in parallel sections.
+    (Github issue :issue:`5922`)
+  * Several types were not available as cython.* types in pure
+    Python code.
+  * The generated code is now correct C89 again, removing some
+    C++ style // comments and C99-style declaration-after-code
+    code ordering.  This is still relevant for some ols C
+    compilers, specifically ones that match old Python 2.7
+    installations.
