As you wrote, we're through with the breaking changes for 3.0 then, so yes, a first beta release might be appropriate. Stefan

Hi, I'll try to push out the next 0.29.x (and hopelfully also 3.0alpha) release before Christmas. If you think I might have forgotten anything that's ready to be included in 0.29.33, please comment in the relevant ticket or PR, or reply to this message on cython-users. Stefan
