Cython 0.14.1
- Release date: February 4, 2011
The Cython project is happy to announce the release of Cython 0.14.1. This release is primarily a bug fix release.
New Features
The gdb debugging support was extended to include all major Cython features, including closures.
raise MemoryError() is now safe to use as Cython replaces it with the correct C-API call.
General improvements and bug fixes
The bug tracker has a list of the major improvements and fixes
Incompatible changes
- Decorators on special methods of cdef classes now raise a compile time error rather than being ignored.
In Python 3 language level mode (-3 option), the 'str' type is now mapped to 'unicode', so that cdef str s declares a Unicode string even when running in Python 2.
