- Version update to 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 #2123)
* The C++11 methods ``reserve()`` and ``bucket_count()`` are declared for
``std::unordered_map``. Patch by Valentin Valls. (Github 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 #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 #2177)
* Fixed compatibility with PyPy 5.11.
Patch by Matti Picus. (Github issue #2165)
+ Other changes
* The NumPy tutorial was rewritten to use memoryviews instead of the older
buffer declaration syntax.

* PyFrozenSet_New() was accidentally used in PyPy where it is lacking
from the C-API.
* Assignment between some C++ templated types were incorrectly rejected
when the templates mix const with ctypedef. (Github 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 #2157)
* Bytes %-formatting inferred basestring (bytes or unicode) as result type
in some cases where bytes would have been safe to infer. (Github issue #2153)

- Update to version 0.27
+ Features added
* Extension module initialisation follows
`PEP 489 <https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0489/>`_ in CPython 3.5+, which
resolves several differences with regard to normal Python modules. This makes
the global names ``__file__`` and ``__path__`` correctly available to module
level code and improves the support for module-level relative imports.
(Github issues #1715, #1753, #1035)
* Asynchronous generators (`PEP 525 <https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0525/>`_)
and asynchronous comprehensions (`PEP 530 <https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0530/>`_)
have been implemented. Note that async generators require finalisation support
in order to allow for asynchronous operations during cleanup, which is only
available in CPython 3.6+. All other functionality has been backported as usual.
* Variable annotations are now parsed according to
`PEP 526 <https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0526/>`_. Cython types (e.g.
``cython.int``) are evaluated as C type declarations and everything else as Python
types. This can be disabled with the directive ``annotation_typing=False``.
Note that most complex PEP-484 style annotations are currently ignored. This will
change in future releases. (Github issue #1850)
* Extension types (also in pure Python mode) can implement the normal special methods
``__eq__``, ``__lt__`` etc. for comparisons instead of the low-level ``__richcmp__``
method. (Github issue #690)
* New decorator ``@cython.exceptval(x=None, check=False)`` that makes the signature
declarations ``except x``, ``except? x`` and ``except *`` available to pure Python
code. Original patch by Antonio Cuni. (Github issue #1653)
* Signature annotations are now included in the signature docstring generated by
the ``embedsignature`` directive. Patch by Lisandro Dalcin (Github issue #1781).
* The gdb support for Python code (``libpython.py``) was updated to the latest
version in CPython 3.7 (git rev 5fe59f8).
* The compiler tries to find a usable exception return value for cdef functions
with ``except *`` if the returned type allows it. Note that this feature is subject
to safety limitations, so it is still better to provide an explicit declaration.
* C functions can be assigned to function pointers with a compatible exception
declaration, not only with exact matches. A side-effect is that certain compatible
signature overrides are now allowed and some more mismatches of exception signatures
are now detected and rejected as errors that were not detected before.
* The IPython/Jupyter magic integration has a new option ``%%cython --pgo`` for profile
guided optimisation. It compiles the cell with PGO settings for the C compiler,
executes it to generate a runtime profile, and then compiles it again using that
profile for C compiler optimisation. Currently only tested with gcc.
* ``len(memoryview)`` can be used in nogil sections to get the size of the
first dimension of a memory view (``shape[0]``). (Github issue #1733)
* C++ classes can now contain (properly refcounted) Python objects.
* NumPy dtype subarrays are now accessible through the C-API.
Patch by Gerald Dalley (Github issue #245).
* Resolves several issues with PyPy and uses faster async slots in PyPy3.
Patch by Ronan Lamy (Github issues #1871, #1878).
+ Bugs fixed
* Extension types that were cimported from other Cython modules could disagree
about the order of fused cdef methods in their call table. This could lead
to wrong methods being called and potentially also crashes. The fix required
changes to the ordering of fused methods in the call table, which may break
existing compiled modules that call fused cdef methods across module boundaries,
if these methods were implemented in a different order than they were declared
in the corresponding .pxd file. (Github issue #1873)
* The exception state handling in generators and coroutines could lead to
exceptions in the caller being lost if an exception was raised and handled
inside of the coroutine when yielding. (Github issue #1731)
* Loops over ``range(enum)`` were not converted into C for-loops. Note that it
is still recommended to use an explicit cast to a C integer type in this case.
* Error positions of names (e.g. variables) were incorrectly reported after the
name and not at the beginning of the name.
* Compile time ``DEF`` assignments were evaluated even when they occur inside of
falsy ``IF`` blocks. (Github issue #1796)
* Disabling the line tracing from a trace function could fail.
Original patch by Dmitry Trofimov. (Github issue #1769)
* Several issues with the Pythran integration were resolved.
* abs(signed int) now returns a signed rather than unsigned int.
(Github issue #1837)
* Reading ``frame.f_locals`` of a Cython function (e.g. from a debugger or profiler
could modify the module globals. (Github issue #1836)
* Buffer type mismatches in the NumPy buffer support could leak a reference to the
buffer owner.
* Using the "is_f_contig" and "is_c_contig" memoryview methods together could leave
one of them undeclared. (Github issue #1872)
* Compilation failed if the for-in-range loop target was not a variable but a more
complex expression, e.g. an item assignment. (Github issue #1831)
* Compile time evaluations of (partially) constant f-strings could show incorrect
results.
* Escape sequences in raw f-strings (``fr'...'``) were resolved instead of passing
them through as expected.
* Some ref-counting issues in buffer error handling have been resolved.
+ Other changes
* Type declarations in signature annotations are now parsed according to
`PEP 484 <https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0484/>`_
typing. Only Cython types (e.g. ``cython.int``) and Python builtin types are
currently considered as type declarations. Everything else is ignored, but this
will change in a future Cython release.
(Github issue #1672)
* The directive ``annotation_typing`` is now ``True`` by default, which enables
parsing type declarations from annotations.
* This release no longer supports Python 3.2.
- Update to version 0.26.1
+ Bugs fixed
* ``cython.view.array`` was missing ``.__len__()``.
* Extension types with a ``.pxd`` override for their ``__releasebuffer__`` slot
(e.g. as provided by Cython for the Python ``array.array`` type) could leak
a reference to the buffer owner on release, thus not freeing the memory.
(Github issue #1638)
* Auto-decoding failed in 0.26 for strings inside of C++ containers.
(Github issue #1790)
* Compile error when inheriting from C++ container types.
(Github issue #1788)
* Invalid C code in generators (declaration after code).
(Github issue #1801)
* Arithmetic operations on ``const`` integer variables could generate invalid code.
(Github issue #1798)
* Local variables with names of special Python methods failed to compile inside of
closures. (Github issue #1797)
* Problem with indirect Emacs buffers in cython-mode.
Patch by Martin Albrecht (Github issue #1743).
* Extension types named ``result`` or ``PickleError`` generated invalid unpickling code.
Patch by Jason Madden (Github issue #1786).
* Bazel integration failed to compile ``.py`` files.
Patch by Guro Bokum (Github issue #1784).
* Some include directories and dependencies were referenced with their absolute paths
in the generated files despite lying within the project directory.
* Failure to compile in Py3.7 due to a modified signature of ``_PyCFunctionFast()``
- Update to version 0.26
+ Features added
* Pythran can be used as a backend for evaluating NumPy array expressions.
Patch by Adrien Guinet (Github issue #1607).
* cdef classes now support pickling by default when possible.
This can be disabled with the ``auto_pickle`` directive.
* Speed up comparisons of strings if their hash value is available.
Patch by Claudio Freire (Github issue #1571).
* Support pyximport from zip files.
Patch by Sergei Lebedev (Github issue #1485).
* IPython magic now respects the ``__all__`` variable and ignores
names with leading-underscore (like ``import *`` does).
Patch by Syrtis Major (Github issue #1625).
* ``abs()`` is optimised for C complex numbers.
Patch by da-woods (Github issue #1648).
* The display of C lines in Cython tracebacks can now be enabled at runtime
via ``import cython_runtime; cython_runtime.cline_in_traceback=True``.
The default has been changed to False.
* The overhead of calling fused types generic functions was reduced.
* "cdef extern" include files are now also searched relative to the current file.
Patch by Jeroen Demeyer (Github issue #1654).
* Optional optimization for re-aquiring the GIL, controlled by the
`fast_gil` directive.
+ Bugs fixed
* Item lookup/assignment with a unicode character as index that is typed
(explicitly or implicitly) as ``Py_UCS4`` or ``Py_UNICODE`` used the
integer value instead of the Unicode string value. Code that relied on
the previous behaviour now triggers a warning that can be disabled by
applying an explicit cast. (Github issue #1602)
* f-string processing was adapted to changes in PEP 498 and CPython 3.6.
* Invalid C code when decoding from UTF-16(LE/BE) byte strings.
(Github issue #1696)
* Unicode escapes in 'ur' raw-unicode strings were not resolved in Py2 code.
Original patch by Aaron Gallagher (Github issue #1594).
* File paths of code objects are now relative.
Original patch by Jelmer Vernooij (Github issue #1565).
* Decorators of cdef class methods could be executed twice.
Patch by Jeroen Demeyer (Github issue #1724).
* Dict iteration using the Py2 ``iter*`` methods failed in PyPy3.
Patch by Armin Rigo (Github issue #1631).
* Several warnings in the generated code are now suppressed.
+ Other changes
* The ``unraisable_tracebacks`` option now defaults to ``True``.
* Coercion of C++ containers to Python is no longer automatic on attribute
access (Github issue #1521).
* Access to Python attributes of cimported modules without the corresponding
import is now a compile-time (rather than runtime) error.
* Do not use special dll linkage for "cdef public" functions.
Patch by Jeroen Demeyer (Github issue #1687).
* cdef/cpdef methods must match their declarations. See Github Issue #1732.
This is now a warning and will be an error in future releases.
- Update to version 0.25.2
+ Bugs fixed
* Fixes several issues with C++ template deduction.
* Fixes a issue with bound method type inference (Github issue #551).
* Fixes a bug with cascaded tuple assignment (Github issue #1523).
* Fixed or silenced many Clang warnings.
* Fixes bug with powers of pure real complex numbers (Github issue #1538).

- Add python-numpy as BuildRequires to have more complete test coverage
- Fix doctests in 32-bit environment (fix-32bit.patch)
- Update to 0.22:
Features added
* C functions can coerce to Python functions, which allows passing them
around as callable objects.
* C arrays can be assigned by value and auto-coerce from Python iterables
and to Python lists (and tuples).
* Extern C functions can now be declared as cpdef to export them to
the module's Python namespace. Extern C functions in pxd files export
their values to their own module, iff it exists.
* Anonymous C tuple types can be declared as (ctype1, ctype2, ...).
* PEP 479: turn accidental StopIteration exceptions that exit generators
into a RuntimeError, activated with future import "generator_stop".
See http://legacy.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0479/
* Looping over ``reversed(range())`` is optimised in the same way as
``range()``. Patch by Favian Contreras.
Bugs fixed
* Mismatching 'except' declarations on signatures in .pxd and .pyx files failed
to produce a compile error.
* Failure to find any files for the path pattern(s) passed into ``cythonize()``
is now an error to more easily detect accidental typos.
* The ``logaddexp`` family of functions in ``numpy.math`` now has correct
declarations.
* In Py2.6/7 and Py3.2, simple Cython memory views could accidentally be
interpreted as non-contiguous by CPython, which could trigger a CPython
bug when copying data from them, thus leading to data corruption.
See CPython issues 12834 and 23349.

- Add Cython-fix-version-detection.patch
This is a patch from upstream that restores version information whose removal is preventing several packages from correctly detecting Cython's presence. It is already merged upstream and so should be in the next release.
Note that despite what upstream says, python-tables/python3-tables is NOT the only package affected by this, which is why the patch is going here instead of python-tables/python3-tables.
python-bcolz/python3-bcolz is an example of another package affected.

- Update to version 0.20.2:
* Some optimisations for set/frozenset instantiation.
* Support for C++ unordered_set and unordered_map.
* Access to attributes of optimised builtin methods (e.g.
``[].append.__name__``) could fail to compile.
* Memory leak when extension subtypes add a memory view as attribute
to those of the parent type without having Python object attributes
or a user provided dealloc method.
* Compiler crash on readonly properties in "binding" mode.
* Auto-encoding with ``c_string_encoding=ascii`` failed in Py3.3.
* Crash when subtyping freelist enabled Cython extension types with
Python classes that use ``__slots__``.
* Freelist usage is restricted to CPython to avoid problems with other
Python implementations.
* Memory leak in memory views when copying overlapping, contiguous slices.
* Format checking when requesting non-contiguous buffers from
``cython.array`` objects was disabled in Py3.
* C++ destructor calls in extension types could fail to compile in clang.
* Buffer format validation failed for sequences of strings in structs.
* Docstrings on extension type attributes in .pxd files were rejected.

OBS-URL: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/devel:languages:python/python-Cython?expand=0&rev=43
* Support for CPython 3.4.
* Support for calling C++ template functions.
* yield is supported in finally clauses.
* The C code generated for finally blocks is duplicated for each exit
case to allow for better optimisations by the C compiler.
* Cython tries to undo the Python optimisationism of assigning a bound
method to a local variable when it can generate better code for the
direct call.
* Constant Python float values are cached.
* String equality comparisons can use faster type specific code in
more cases than before.
* String/Unicode formatting using the '%' operator uses a faster
C-API call.
* bytearray has become a known type and supports coercion from and
to C strings. Indexing, slicing and decoding is optimised. Note that
this may have an impact on existing code due to type inference.
* Using cdef basestring stringvar and function arguments typed as
basestring is now meaningful and allows assigning exactly
str and unicode objects, but no subtypes of these types.
* Support for the __debug__ builtin.
* Assertions in Cython compiled modules are disabled if the running
Python interpreter was started with the "-O" option.
* Some types that Cython provides internally, such as functions and
generators, are now shared across modules if more than one Cython
implemented module is imported.
* The type inference algorithm works more fine granular by taking the
results of the control flow analysis into account.
* A new script in bin/cythonize provides a command line frontend
to the cythonize() compilation function (including distutils build).
OBS-URL: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/devel:languages:python/python-Cython?expand=0&rev=37
- update to 0.19.2:
* Some standard declarations were fixed or updated, including the previously
incorrect declaration of ``PyBuffer_FillInfo()`` and some missing bits in
``libc.math``.
* Heap allocated subtypes of ``type`` used the wrong base type struct at the
C level.
* Calling the unbound method dict.keys/value/items() in dict subtypes could
call the bound object method instead of the unbound supertype method.
* "yield" wasn't supported in "return" value expressions.
* Using the "bint" type in memory views lead to unexpected results.
It is now an error.
* Assignments to global/closure variables could catch them in an illegal state
while deallocating the old value.

OBS-URL: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/devel:languages:python/python-Cython?expand=0&rev=35
- update to 0.19.1:
* Completely empty C-API structs for extension type slots (protocols like
number/mapping/sequence) are no longer generated into the C code.
* Docstrings that directly follow a public/readonly attribute declaration
in a cdef class will be used as docstring of the auto-generated property.
This fixes ticket 206.
* The automatic signature documentation tries to preserve more semantics
of default arguments and argument types. Specifically, ``bint`` arguments
now appear as type ``bool``.
* A warning is emitted when negative literal indices are found inside of
a code section that disables ``wraparound`` handling. This helps with
fixing invalid code that might fail in the face of future compiler
optimisations.
* Constant folding for boolean expressions (and/or) was improved.
* Added a build_dir option to cythonize() which allows one to place
the generated .c files outside the source tree.
