Hi all,

Cython 0.19.1 is following the course of the recent 0.19 release. This is
mainly a bug fix release that adds only minor new features and fixes some
bugs and regressions in the latest release. Upgrading is generally recommended.

You can get it from here:

Release notes:
https://github.com/cython/cython/blob/8f07f8d8265799cada5046fe0b7c0807d7b41fb3/CHANGES.rst

Documentation: http://docs.cython.org/


Major changes include:

* A warning is emitted when negative literal indices are found inside of
  a code section that disables ``wraparound`` handling.  This helps with
  fixing invalid code that might fail in the face of future compiler
  optimisations.

* A regression in 0.19 was fixed that rejected valid C expressions from
  being used in C array size declarations.

* Testing large (> int) C integer values for their truth value could fail
  due to integer wrap-around.

* The automatic signature documentation tries to preserve more semantics
  of default arguments and argument types.  Specifically, ``bint``
  arguments now appear as type ``bool``.


Have fun,

Stefan
