• the minimum supported Rust version is now 1.41.1
• on Python 3, strings now directly use the UTF-8 representation stored inside the Python string
• visibility keywords are now permitted on classes and functions (PR by @tdyas)
• the PyNone type can be used as a marker representing None in Python (PR by @markbt)

0.5.2 - 2020-12-16

• add a way to disable converting PyString to unicode on Python 2 (PR by @quark-zju)
• initial serde support (PR by @quark-zju)
• avoid abort if the Python function never returns due to thread exit (PR by @quark-zju)
• Added Python 3.9 support.

0.5.1 - 2020-09-08

• ignore trailing comma in plist parsing (PR by @lausek)
• make fields of initialization config public and implement Default (PR by @indygreg)
• fix macros without $crate:: access (PR by @markbt)

0.5.0 - 2020-04-08

• properties (attributes with getter/setters defined in Rust (PR by @markbt)
• adoption of 2018 edition and general code modernization (PR by @markbt)
• reference extraction for slot functions and optional reference extraction (PR by @markbt)
• PEP-587 initialization APIs (python3-sys for Python≥3.8) (PR by @indygreg)
• more import APIs (python3-sys) (PR by @indygreg)

0.4.1 - 2020-02-03

• link-time inconsistency with build config (original PR by @svevang adapted as 202)
• missing pub classifier in PySharedRef example. (PR by @Alphare)
• README updates: copyright years, version number in examples

0.4.0 - 2020-01-27

• The 0.4.x series is planned to be the last that will support Rust 2015.
• Added Python 3.8 support.
• Type errors during downcasts now explain what the expected and actual types are. (PR by @markbt)
• Data items can now be shared between Python objects (e.g. for iterators) using PySharedRef. (PR by @yuja)
• PyList can now be appended to with append. The method for inserting items is renamed to insert for consistency. (PR by @binh-vu)

0.3.0 - 2019-08-01

• Minumum Rust compiler version is now 1.30.
• Added Capsule support (PR by @gracinet)
• Added Rust Docstring support for instance methods, static methods and class methods (PRs by @quark-zju and @AdamRzepka)
• Made macros work with Rust 2018 (PR by @derekdreery)
• Support Rust raw identifiers for method and keyword names (PR by @quark-zju)
• Added impl RefFromPyObject for [u8]. This allows using &[u8] as parameter type in py_fn!. When passing a bytes object from Python, this allows accessing the data without a copy. (other mutable Python objects will use a defensive copy)

0.2.1 - 2018-09-28

• Added Python 3.7 support

0.2.0 - 2018-02-27

• Added pub modifier to py_class! syntax: py_class!(pub class ClassName |py| ...)

• Changed obj.extract::<Vec<T>>(py) to work with any object implementing the sequence protocol; not just lists.

• Added the buffer module, which allows safe access to the buffer protocol. This allows zero-copy access to numpy arrays.

• When building with --feature nightly, extract::<Vec<PrimitiveType>> will try to use the buffer protocol before falling back to the sequence protocol.

• Added support for optional parameters to py_argparse!, py_fn! and py_class! macros. (PR by @Luthaf)

  Example: py_fn!(py, function(i: i32 = 0))

• Made ObjectProtocol::compare() available on Python 3.

• Added ObjectProtocol::rich_compare().

• Fixed non-deterministic segfault in extension modules using py_class! (PR by @markbt)

• Fixed python27-sys compiler error on ARM (PR by @ostrosco)

• Export path to Python interpreter as Cargo variable (PR by @indygreg)

0.1.0 - 2016-12-17

• First release that works on stable Rust.
