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:

Have fun,

Stefan
