This release focuses on performance improvements, but also adds
some new features and contains numerous bug fixes and stability
improvements.
Highlights of core performance improvements include:
* Intel kindly sponsored research and development into producing
a new reference count pruning pass. This pass operates at the
LLVM level and can prune a number of common reference counting
patterns. This will improve performance for two primary
reasons:
- There will be less pressure on the atomic locks used to do
the reference counting.
- Removal of reference counting operations permits more
inlining and the optimisation passes can in general do more
with what is present.
(Siu Kwan Lam).
* Intel also sponsored work to improve the performance of the
numba.typed.List container, particularly in the case of
__getitem__ and iteration (Stuart Archibald).
* Superword-level parallelism vectorization is now switched on
and the optimisation pipeline has been lightly analysed and
tuned so as to be able to vectorize more and more often
(Stuart Archibald).
Highlights of core feature changes include:
* The inspect_cfg method on the JIT dispatcher object has been
significantly enhanced and now includes highlighted output and
interleaved line markers and Python source (Stuart Archibald).
* The BSD operating system is now unofficially supported (Stuart
Archibald).
* Numerous features/functionality improvements to NumPy support,
including support for:
- np.asfarray (Guilherme Leobas)
- “subtyping” in record arrays (Lucio Fernandez-Arjona)
- np.split and np.array_split (Isaac Virshup)
- operator.contains with ndarray (@mugoh).
- np.asarray_chkfinite (Rishabh Varshney).
- NumPy 1.19 (Stuart Archibald).
- the ndarray allocators, empty, ones and zeros, accepting a
dtype specified as a string literal (Stuart Archibald).
* Booleans are now supported as literal types (Alexey Kozlov).
* On the CUDA target:
* CUDA 9.0 is now the minimum supported version (Graham Markall).
* Support for Unified Memory has been added (Max Katz).
* Kernel launch overhead is reduced (Graham Markall).
* Cudasim support for mapped array, memcopies and memset has
been * added (Mike Williams).
* Access has been wired in to all libdevice functions (Graham
Markall).
* Additional CUDA atomic operations have been added (Michae
Collison).
* Additional math library functions (frexp, ldexp, isfinite)
(Zhihao * Yuan).
* Support for power on complex numbers (Graham Markall).
Deprecations to note:
* There are no new deprecations. However, note that
“compatibility” mode, which was added some 40 releases ago to
help transition from 0.11 to 0.12+, has been removed! Also,
the shim to permit the import of jitclass from Numba’s top
level namespace has now been removed as per the deprecation
schedule.

- Update to 0.51.2
* The compilation chain is now based on LLVM 10 (Valentin Haenel).
* Numba has internally switched to prefer non-literal types over literal ones so
as to reduce function over-specialisation, this with view of speeding up
compile times (Siu Kwan Lam).
* On the CUDA target: Support for CUDA Toolkit 11, Ampere, and Compute
Capability 8.0; Printing of ``SASS`` code for kernels; Callbacks to Python
functions can be inserted into CUDA streams, and streams are async awaitable;
Atomic ``nanmin`` and ``nanmax`` functions are added; Fixes for various
miscompilations and segfaults. (mostly Graham Markall; call backs on
streams by Peter Würtz).
* Support for heterogeneous immutable lists and heterogeneous immutable string
key dictionaries. Also optional initial/construction value capturing for all
lists and dictionaries containing literal values (Stuart Archibald).
* A new pass-by-reference mutable structure extension type ``StructRef`` (Siu
Kwan Lam).
* Object mode blocks are now cacheable, with the side effect of numerous bug
fixes and performance improvements in caching. This also permits caching of
functions defined in closures (Siu Kwan Lam).
* The error handling and reporting system has been improved to reduce the size
of error messages, and also improve quality and specificity.
* The CUDA target has more stream constructors available and a new function for
compiling to PTX without linking and loading the code to a device. Further,
the macro-based system for describing CUDA threads and blocks has been
replaced with standard typing and lowering implementations, for improved
debugging and extensibility.
- Better unpin llvmlite with unpin-llvmlite.patch to avoid breakages

- Update to 0.49.0
* Removal of all Python 2 related code and also updating the minimum supported
Python version to 3.6, the minimum supported NumPy version to 1.15 and the
minimum supported SciPy version to 1.0. (Stuart Archibald).
* Refactoring of the Numba code base. The code is now organised into submodules
by functionality. This cleans up Numba's top level namespace.
(Stuart Archibald).
* Introduction of an ``ir.Del`` free static single assignment form for Numba's
intermediate representation (Siu Kwan Lam and Stuart Archibald).
* An OpenMP-like thread masking API has been added for use with code using the
parallel CPU backends (Aaron Meurer and Stuart Archibald).
* For the CUDA target, all kernel launches now require a configuration, this
preventing accidental launches of kernels with the old default of a single
thread in a single block. The hard-coded autotuner is also now removed, such
tuning is deferred to CUDA API calls that provide the same functionality
(Graham Markall).
* The CUDA target also gained an External Memory Management plugin interface to
allow Numba to use another CUDA-aware library for all memory allocations and
deallocations (Graham Markall).
* The Numba Typed List container gained support for construction from iterables
(Valentin Haenel).
* Experimental support was added for first-class function types
(Pearu Peterson).
- Refreshed patch skip-failing-tests.patch
* the troublesome tests are skipped upstream on 32-bit
- Unpin llvmlite
