========================== What's new in PyPy2.7 6.0+ ========================== .. this is a revision shortly after release-pypy-6.0.0 .. startrev: e50e11af23f1 .. branch: cppyy-packaging Main items: vastly better template resolution and improved performance. In detail: upgrade to backend 1.4, improved handling of templated methods and functions (in particular automatic deduction of types), improved pythonization interface, range of compatibility fixes for Python3, free functions now take fast libffi path when possible, moves for strings (incl. from Python str), easier/faster handling of std::vector by numpy, improved and faster object identity preservation .. branch: socket_default_timeout_blockingness Make sure 'blocking-ness' of socket is set along with default timeout .. branch: crypt_h Include crypt.h for crypt() on Linux .. branch: gc-more-logging Log additional gc-minor and gc-collect-step info in the PYPYLOG .. branch: reverse-debugger The reverse-debugger branch has been merged. For more information, see https://bitbucket.org/pypy/revdb .. branch: pyparser-improvements-3 Small refactorings in the Python parser. .. branch: fix-readme-typo .. branch: avoid_shell_injection_in_shutil Backport CPython fix for possible shell injection issue in `distutils.spawn`, https://bugs.python.org/issue34540 .. branch: cffi_dlopen_unicode Enable use of unicode file names in `dlopen` .. branch: rlock-in-rpython Backport CPython fix for `thread.RLock` .. branch: expose-gc-time Make GC hooks measure time in seconds (as opposed to an opaque unit). .. branch: cleanup-test_lib_pypy Update most test_lib_pypy/ tests and move them to extra_tests/. .. branch: gc-disable Make it possible to manually manage the GC by using a combination of gc.disable() and gc.collect_step(). Make sure to write a proper release announcement in which we explain that existing programs could leak memory if they run for too much time between a gc.disable()/gc.enable()
