> Complete changelog:

> 0.17.2 (2012-11-20)
> ===================

> Features added
> --------------

> * ``cythonize()`` gained a best effort compile mode that can be used to
> simply ignore .py files that fail to compile.

> Bugs fixed
> ----------

> * Replacing an object reference with the value of one of its cdef
> attributes could generate incorrect C code that accessed the object after
> deleting its last reference.

> * C-to-Python type coercions during cascaded comparisons could generate
> invalid C code, specifically when using the 'in' operator.

> * "obj[1,]" passed a single integer into the item getter instead of a tuple.

> * Cyclic imports at module init time did not work in Py3.

> * The names of C++ destructors for template classes were built incorrectly.

> * In pure mode, type casts in Cython syntax and the C ampersand operator
> are now rejected. Use the pure mode replacements instead.

> * In pure mode, C type names and the sizeof() function are no longer
> recognised as such and can be used as normal Python names.

> * The extended C level support for the CPython array type was declared too
> late to be used by user defined classes.

> * C++ class nesting was broken.

> * Better checking for required nullary constructors for stack-allocated C++
> instances.

> * Remove module docstring in no-docstring mode.

> * Fix specialization for varargs function signatures.

> * Fix several compiler crashes.
