Added

Add support for #[pyclass(dict)] and #[pyclass(weakref)] with the abi3 feature on Python 3.9 and up. #1342
Add FFI definitions PyOS_BeforeFork, PyOS_AfterFork_Parent, PyOS_AfterFork_Child for Python 3.7 and up. #1348
Add an auto-initialize feature to control whether PyO3 should automatically initialize an embedded Python interpreter. For compatibility this feature is enabled by default in PyO3 0.13.1, but is planned to become opt-in from PyO3 0.14.0. #1347
Add support for cross-compiling to Windows without needing PYO3_CROSS_INCLUDE_DIR. #1350

Deprecated

Deprecate FFI definitions PyEval_CallObjectWithKeywords, PyEval_CallObject, PyEval_CallFunction, PyEval_CallMethod when building for Python 3.9. #1338

Deprecate FFI definitions PyGen_NeedsFinalizing, PyImport_Cleanup (removed in 3.9), and PyOS_InitInterrupts (3.10). #1348
Deprecate FFI definition PyOS_AfterFork for Python 3.7 and up. #1348
Deprecate FFI definitions PyCoro_Check, PyAsyncGen_Check, and PyCoroWrapper_Check, which have never been in the Python API (for the first two, it is possible to use PyCoro_CheckExact and PyAsyncGen_CheckExact instead; these are the actual functions provided by the Python API). #1348
Deprecate FFI definitions for PyUnicode_FromUnicode, PyUnicode_AsUnicode and PyUnicode_AsUnicodeAndSize, which will be removed from 3.12 and up due to PEP 613. #1370

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).

Renamed wrap_function! to wrap_pyfunction!
Renamed #[prop(get, set)] to #[pyo3(get, set)]

Removed

PyToken was removed due to unsoundness (See #94).

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.

PyObjectProtocol::get_type_ptr() by ijl in #242

Changed

Ran cargo edition --fix which prefixed path with crate:: for rust 2018
Renamed async to pyasync as async will be a keyword in the 2018 edition.
Starting to use NonNull<*mut PyObject> for Py and PyObject by ijl #260

Removed

Removed most entries from the prelude. The new prelude is small and clear.
Slowly removing specialization uses
PyString, PyUnicode, and PyBytes no longer have a data() method (replaced by as_bytes()) and PyStringData has been removed.
The pyobject_extract macro

Fixed

Added an explanation that the GIL can temporarily be released even while holding a GILGuard.
Lots of clippy errors
Fix segfault on calling an unknown method on a PyObject
Work around a bug in the rust compiler by kngwyu #252
Fixed a segfault with subclassing pyo3 create classes and using __class__ by kngwyu #263

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.
