+- specfile:
+  * update copyright year
+
+- update to version 0.42.0:
+  * In this release the major features are:
+    + The capability to launch and attach the GDB debugger from within
+      a jitted function.
+    + The upgrading of LLVM to version 7.0.0.
+  * We added a draft of the project roadmap to the developer
+    manual. The roadmap is for informational purposes only as
+    priorities and resources may change.
+  * Here are some enhancements from contributed PRs:
+    + #3532. Daniel Wennberg improved the "cuda.{pinned, mapped}" API
+       so that the associated memory is released immediately at the
+       exit of the context manager.
+    + #3531. Dimitri Vorona enabled the inlining of jitclass methods.
+    + #3516. Simon Perkins added the support for passing numpy dtypes
+       (i.e.  "np.dtype("int32")") and their type constructor
+       (i.e. "np.int32") into a jitted function.
+    + #3509. Rob Ennis added support for "np.corrcoef".
+  * A regression issue (#3554, #3461) relating to making an empty
+    slice in parallel mode is resolved by #3558.
+  * General Enhancements:
+    + PR #3392: Launch and attach gdb directly from Numba.
+    + PR #3437: Changes to accommodate LLVM 7.0.x
+    + PR #3509: Support for np.corrcoef
+    + PR #3516: Typeof dtype values
+    + PR #3520: Fix @stencil ignoring cval if out kwarg supplied.
+    + PR #3531: Fix jitclass method inlining and avoid unnecessary
+      increfs
+    + PR #3538: Avoid future C-level assertion error due to invalid
+      visibility
+    + PR #3543: Avoid implementation error being hidden by the
+      try-except
+    + PR #3544: Add `long_running` test flag and feature to exclude
+      tests.
+    + PR #3549: ParallelAccelerator caching improvements
+    + PR #3558: Fixes array analysis for inplace binary operators.
+    + PR #3566: Skip alignment tests on armv7l.
+    + PR #3567: Fix unifying literal types in namedtuple
+    + PR #3576: Add special copy routine for NumPy out arrays
+    + PR #3577: Fix example and docs typos for `objmode` context
+      manager.  reorder statements.
+    + PR #3580: Use alias information when determining whether it is
+      safe to
+    + PR #3583: Use `ir.unknown_loc` for unknown `Loc`, as #3390 with
+      tests
+    + PR #3587: Fix llvm.memset usage changes in llvm7
+    + PR #3596: Fix Array Analysis for Global Namedtuples
+    + PR #3597: Warn users if threading backend init unsafe.
+    + PR #3605: Add guard for writing to read only arrays from ufunc
+      calls
+    + PR #3606: Improve the accuracy of error message wording for
+      undefined type.
+    + PR #3611: gdb test guard needs to ack ptrace permissions
+    + PR #3616: Skip gdb tests on ARM.
+  * CUDA Enhancements:
+    + PR #3532: Unregister temporarily pinned host arrays at once
+    + PR #3552: Handle broadcast arrays correctly in host->device
+      transfer.
+    + PR #3578: Align cuda and cuda simulator kwarg names.
+  * Documentation Updates:
