0.6.0 - 2019-03-28

Regressions

Currently, #341 causes cargo test to fail with weird linking errors when the extension-module feature is activated. For now you can work around this by making the extension-module feature optional and running the tests with cargo test --no-default-features:

[dependencies.pyo3]
version = "0.6.0"

[features]
extension-module = ["pyo3/extension-module"]
default = ["extension-module"]

Added

Added a wrap_pymodule! macro similar to the existing wrap_pyfunction! macro. Only available on python 3
Added support for cross compiling (e.g. to arm v7) by mtp401 in #327. See the "Cross Compiling" section in the "Building and Distribution" chapter of the guide for more details.
The PyRef and PyRefMut types, which allow to differentiate between an instance of a rust struct on the rust heap and an instance that is embedded inside a python object. By kngwyu in #335
Added FromPy<T> and IntoPy<T> which are equivalent to From<T> and Into<T> except that they require a gil token.
Added ManagedPyRef, which should eventually replace ToBorrowedObject.

Changed

Renamed PyObjectRef to PyAny in #388
Renamed add_function to add_wrapped as it now also supports modules.
Renamed #[pymodinit] to #[pymodule]
py.init(|| value) becomes Py::new(value)
py.init_ref(|| value) becomes PyRef::new(value)
py.init_mut(|| value) becomes PyRefMut::new(value).
PyRawObject::init is now infallible, e.g. it returns () instead of PyResult<()>.
Renamed py_exception! to create_exception! and refactored the error macros.
Renamed wrap_function! to wrap_pyfunction!
Renamed #[prop(get, set)] to #[pyo3(get, set)]
#[pyfunction] now supports the same arguments as #[pyfn()]
Some macros now emit proper spanned errors instead of panics.

Replace IntoPyTuple with IntoPy<Py<PyTuple>>.
IntoPyPointer and ToPyPointer moved into the crate root.

Renamed the typeob module to type_object

Removed

PyToken was removed due to unsoundness (See #94).
Removed the unnecessary type parameter from PyObjectAlloc
NoArgs. Just use an empty tuple
PyObjectWithGIL. PyNativeType is sufficient now that PyToken is removed.

Fixed

A soudness hole where every instances of a #[pyclass] struct was considered to be part of a python object, even though you can create instances that are not part of the python heap. This was fixed through PyRef and PyRefMut.
Fix kwargs support in #328.
Add full support for __dict__ in #403.

PyDict::from_sequence(), equivalent to dict([(key, val), ...])
Bindings for the datetime standard library types: PyDate, PyTime, PyDateTime, PyTzInfo, PyDelta with associated ffi types, by pganssle #200.
PyString, PyUnicode, and PyBytes now have an as_bytes() method that returns &[u8].
PyObjectProtocol::get_type_ptr() by ijl in #242

Changed

Removes the types from the root module and the prelude. They now live in pyo3::types instead.
All exceptions are consturcted with py_err instead of new, as they return PyErr and not Self.
as_mut and friends take and &mut self instead of &self
ObjectProtocol::call now takes an Option<&PyDict> for the kwargs instead of an IntoPyDictPointer.
IntoPyDictPointer was replace by IntoPyDict which doesn't convert PyDict itself anymore and returns a PyDict instead of *mut PyObject.

0.3.0 - 2018-07-18

Added

A few internal macros became part of the public api (#155, #186)

Changed

Upgraded to syn 0.14 which means much better error messages :tada:
128 bit integer support by kngwyu (#137)
proc_macro has been stabilized on nightly (rust-lang/rust#52081). This means that we can remove the proc_macro feature, but now we need the use_extern_macros from the 2018 edition instead.
All proc macro are now prefixed with py and live in the prelude. This means you can use #[pyclass], #[pymethods], #[pyproto], #[pyfunction] and #[pymodinit] directly, at least after a use pyo3::prelude::*. They were also moved into a module called proc_macro. You shouldn't use #[pyo3::proc_macro::pyclass] or other longer paths in attributes because proc_macro_path_invoc isn't going to be stabilized soon.
Renamed the base option in the pyclass macro to extends.
#[pymodinit] uses the function name as module name, unless the name is overrriden with #[pymodinit(name)]
The guide is now properly versioned.
