Added

Add PyCapsule type exposing the Capsule API. #1980
Add pyo3_build_config::Sysconfigdata and supporting APIs. #1996
Add Py::setattr method. #2009

Enable #[pyclass] for fieldless (aka C-like) enums. #2034
Add buffer magic methods __getbuffer__ and __releasebuffer__ to #[pymethods]. #2067
Add support for paths in wrap_pyfunction and wrap_pymodule. #2081
Enable wrap_pyfunction! to wrap a #[pyfunction] implemented in a different Rust module or crate. #2091

Add Py::is and PyAny::is methods to check for object identity. #2183
Add support for the __getattribute__ magic method. #2187

Changed

PyType::is_subclass, PyErr::is_instance and PyAny::is_instance now operate run-time type object instead of a type known at compile-time. The old behavior is still available as PyType::is_subclass_of, PyErr::is_instance_of and PyAny::is_instance_of. #1985
Rename some methods on PyErr (the old names are just marked deprecated for now): #2026
- pytype -> get_type
- pvalue -> value (and deprecate equivalent instance)
- ptraceback -> traceback
- from_instance -> from_value
- into_instance -> into_value
PyErr::new_type now takes an optional docstring and now returns PyResult<Py<PyType>> rather than a ffi::PyTypeObject pointer. #2027
Deprecate PyType::is_instance; it is inconsistent with other is_instance methods in PyO3. Instead of typ.is_instance(obj), use obj.is_instance(typ). #2031

Add modulo argument to __ipow__ magic method. #2083
Fix FFI definition for _PyCFunctionFast. #2126
PyDateTimeAPI and PyDateTime_TimeZone_UTC are are now unsafe functions instead of statics. #2126
PyDateTimeAPI does not implicitly call PyDateTime_IMPORT anymore to reflect the original Python API more closely. Before the first call to PyDateTime_IMPORT a null pointer is returned. Therefore before calling any of the following FFI functions PyDateTime_IMPORT must be called to avoid undefined behaviour: #2126
- PyDateTime_TimeZone_UTC
- PyDate_Check
- PyDate_CheckExact
- PyDateTime_Check
- PyDateTime_CheckExact
- PyTime_Check
- PyTime_CheckExact
- PyDelta_Check
- PyDelta_CheckExact
- PyTZInfo_Check
- PyTZInfo_CheckExact
- PyDateTime_FromTimestamp
- PyDate_FromTimestamp
Deprecate the gc option for pyclass (e.g. #[pyclass(gc)]). Just implement a __traverse__ #[pymethod]. #2159
The ml_meth field of PyMethodDef is now represented by the PyMethodDefPointer union. 2166
Deprecate the #[pyproto] traits. #2173

Removed

Fix magic methods in #[pymethods] accepting implementations with the wrong number of arguments. #2083
Fix panic in #[pyfunction] generated code when a required argument following an Option was not provided. #2093
Fixed undefined behaviour caused by incorrect ExactSizeIterator implementations. #2124
Fix missing FFI definition PyCMethod_New on Python 3.9 and up. #2143
Add missing FFI definitions _PyLong_NumBits and _PyLong_AsByteArray on PyPy. #2146
Fix memory leak in implementation of AsPyPointer for Option<T>. #2160
Fix FFI definition of _PyLong_NumBits to return size_t instead of c_int. #2161
Fix TypeError thrown when argument parsing failed missing the originating causes. 2177

Changed

PyErr::new no longer acquires the Python GIL internally. #1724
Reverted PyO3 0.14.0's use of cargo:rustc-cdylib-link-arg in its build script, as Cargo unintentionally allowed crates to pass linker args to downstream crates in this way. Projects supporting macOS may need to restore .cargo/config.toml files. #1755

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

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.

PyString, PyUnicode, and PyBytes now have an as_bytes method that returns &[u8].
PyObjectProtocol::get_type_ptr by ijl in #242

Changed

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

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.
