Hi again, thanks to your feedback, I was able to solve a couple of issues and regressions in the first beta. Here's the second one. Release: https://github.com/cython/cython/releases/tag/0.28b2 Differences: https://github.com/cython/cython/compare/0.28b1...0.28b2 Overall changelog for 0.28: https://github.com/cython/cython/blob/0.28b2/CHANGES.rst Looks like the final release is close. If nothing major comes up, I'll prepare the final release in a couple of days. Stefan Stefan Behnel schrieb am 04.03.2018 um 13:15:

Hi all,

after almost half a year of development and a late couple of weeks of bug hunting and feature cleanup, I'm happy to announce the availability of the first beta of Cython 0.28.

https://github.com/cython/cython/releases/tag/0.28b1

This is a rather big feature release, please give it some testing. I'll not even start listing the major improvements here, but it comes with some really long-requested language features and lots of new optimisations, so please take a look at the changelog:

Have fun,

Stefan

Hi everyone, I'm pleased to announce the immediate availability of Cython 0.28, after almost half a year of development. https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Cython/0.28 The major new features include: * Cdef classes can now multiply inherit from ordinary Python classes, as long as (exactly) one base class is an extension type. * The "const" modifier can be applied to memoryview declarations to allow read-only buffers as input. * C code in the docstring of a "cdef extern" block is copied verbatimly into the generated file. The changelog lists the various other big and small features, optimisations and bug fixes that went into this release: https://github.com/cython/cython/blob/0.28/CHANGES.rst Have fun, Stefan
