0.9.3.1
-------

Bug fixes:

	- Fix generated code to compile with GCC 4.0 (remove usage of the
		cast-as-lvalue extension).
		["Jeremy Katz" <katzj@redhat.com>]

	- Fix interoperability with Python 2.4.
		["Bob Ippolito" <bob@redivi.com>]

0.9.3
-----

Enhancements:

	- Types defined with a ctypedef in a 'cdef extern from' block
		are now referred to by the typedef name in generated C code,
		so it is no longer necessary to match the type in the C
		header file exactly.

	- Conversion to/from unsigned long now done with
		PyLong_AsUnsignedLong and PyLong_FromUnsignedLong.
		[Dug Song <dugsong@monkey.org>]

	- A struct, union or enum definition in a 'cdef extern from'
		block may now be left empty (using 'pass'). This can be useful
		if you need to declare a variable of that type, but don't need
		to refer to any of its members.

	- More flexible about ordering of qualifiers such as 'long' and
		'unsigned'.
		["John (J5) Palmieri" <johnp@redhat.com>]


Bug fixes:

	- Non-interned string literals used in a Python class
		definition did not work.
		[Atsuo Ishimoto <ishimoto@gembook.org>]
		[Andreas Kostyrka <andreas@kostyrka.org>]

	- Return types of the buffer interface functions for extension
		types have been corrected.
		[Dug Song <dugsong@monkey.org>]

	- Added 'static' to declarations of string literals.
		[Phil Frost <indigo@bitglue.com>]

	- Float literals are now copied directly to the C code as written,
		to avoid problems with loss of precision.
		[Mario Pernici <Mario.Pernici@mi.infn.it>]

	- Inheriting from an extension type with C methods defined in
		another Pyrex module did not work.
		[Itamar Shtull-Trauring <itamar@itamarst.org>]

0.9.2.1
-------

Bug fixes:

	- Corrected an import statement setup.py, and made it
		check for a unix platform in a more reliable way.

0.9.2
-----

Enhancements:

	- Names of Python global variables and attributes are now
		interned, and PyObject_GetAttr/SetAttr are used instead
		of PyObject_GetAttrString/SetAttrString. String literals
		which resemble Python identifiers are also interned.

	- String literals are now converted to Python objects only
		once instead of every time they are used.

	- NUL characters are now allowed in Python string literals.

	- Added some missing error checking code to the beginning
		of module init functions. It's unlikely the operations
		involved would ever fail, but you never know.

Bug fixes:

	- Corrected some problems introduced by moving the Plex
		package.

0.9.1.1
-------

Bug fixes:

	- Corrected a problem in the setup.py (pyrexc script incorrectly
		named).

	- Updated the distutils extension to match changes in the
		Pyrex compiler calling interface.

	- Doing 'make clean' in Demos/callback was removing a little too
		much (that's why cheesefinder.c kept disappearing).

0.9.1
-----

Enhancements:

	- A C method can now call an inherited C method by the usual
		Python technique.
		[Jiba <jiba@tuxfamily.org>]

	- The __modname__ of a Python class is now set correctly.
		[Paul Prescod <paul@prescod.net>]

	- A MANIFEST.in file has been added to the distribution to
		facilitate building rpms.
		[contributed by Konrad Hinsen <hinsen@cnrs-orleans.fr>]

Bug fixes:

  - Conditional code now generated to allow for the renaming of LONG_LONG
    to PY_LONG_LONG that occurred between Python 2.2 and 2.3.

	- Header files referenced in cimported modules were not being included.
		[Tom Popovich <tompopovich@aol.com>]

	- References to C functions and variables in a cimported module were
		not being recognised if made from within a local scope.
		[Tom Popovich <tompopovich@aol.com>]

	- Spurious declarations in code generated for a "finally" block.
		[Brandon Long <blong@fiction.net>]

	- Attempting to return a value from a __contains__ method didn't work.
		[Andreas Kostyrka <andreas@mtg.co.at>]

	- Incorrect code generated for an extension type with C methods
		inheriting from a base type with no C methods.
		[Robin Becker <robin@reportlab.com>]

	- Failure to report an error if a C method was defined in the
		implementation part of an extension type that was not declared
		in the corresponding definition part. Documentation also updated
		to explain that this is necessary.
		[Jiba <jiba@tuxfamily.org>]

	- Made it an error to forward-declare an extension type with
		a different base class specification from its subsequent
		definition.
		[Jiba <jiba@tuxfamily.org>]

	- C attributes of an extension type were not being propagated
		through more than one level of inheritance.
		[Jiba <jiba@tuxfamily.org>]

	- If a garbage collection occurred early enough in the __new__
		method of an extension type with Python-valued C attributes,
		a crash could occur in its tp_traverse function.
		[reported by Jiba <jiba@tuxfamily.org>]
		[fix suggested by Paul Prescod <paul@prescod.net>]

	- An empty vtable struct is no longer generated for extension
		types with no C methods.
		[Robin Becker <robin@reportlab.com>]

	- Memory was leaked in the sq_item function of an extension
		type with a __getitem__ method.
		[Atsuo Ishimoto <ishimoto@gembook.org>]

	- Code generated to work around a bug in some versions of Python
		2.2 which fails to initialise the tp_free slot correctly in
		some circumstances.
		[Matthias Baas <baas@ira.uka.de>]

	- Compiler crash when defining an extension type with a base
		class specified by a dotted name.
		[Alain Pointdexter <alainpoint@yahoo.fr>]

	- Referencing an extension type defined in a cimported module
		at run time did not work correctly.
		[Alain Pointdexter <alainpoint@yahoo.fr>]

	- Incorrect object struct code generated for an extension type
		whose base class was defined in a .pxd file.
		[Alain Pointdexter <alainpoint@yahoo.fr>]

	- Redeclaring a type that wasn't previously an extension type
		as an extension type caused a compiler crash.
		[Scott Robinson <scott@tranzoa.com>]

	- Incorrect code was generated for return statements in a
		special method with no return value.
		[Gary Bishop <gb@cs.unc.edu>]

	- Single-line def statement did not work.
		[Francois Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>]

Modifications:

	- Only the last pathname component of the .pyx file is reported in
		backtraces now.
		[Bryan Weingarten <bryan.weingarten@pobox.com>]

	- Documentation corrected to remove the erroneous statement that
		extension classes can have a __del__ method.
		[Bryan Weingarten <bryan.weingarten@pobox.com>]

	- Note added to documentation explaining that it is not possible
		for an extension type's __new__ method to explicitly call the
		inherited __new__ method.

	- The version of Plex included with Pyrex is now installed
		as a subpackage of the Pyrex package, rather than as a
		top-level package, so as not to interfere with any other
		version of Plex the user may have installed.

0.9
---

New features:

	- Extension types can have properties. See the new "Properties"
		section in the "Extension Types" page.

	- An extension type can inherit from a builtin type or another
		extension type. See "Subclassing" in the "Extension Types" page.

	- Extension types can have C methods, which can be overridden
		in derived extension types. See "C Methods" in the "Extension Types"
		page.

Enhancements:

	- Conversion is now performed between C long longs and Python
		long integers without chopping to the size of a C long.
		Also the Python PY_LONG_LONG type is now used for long longs
		for greater portability.

Bug fixes:

	- Names were sometimes being generated that were insufficiently
		unique in the presence of cimported declarations.

	- Changed the way the included filename table is declared from
		char *[] to char **, to stop MSVC from complaining about it
		having an unknown size.
		[Alexander A Naanou <alex_nanou@pochta.ru>]

	- Second argument of assert statement was not being coerced
		to a Python value.
		[Francois Pinard   http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~pinard]

	- Return statement without value wasn't accepted in some
		extension type special methods when it should have been.
		[Francois Pinard   http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~pinard]

	- Attempting to call a non-function C value crashed the
		compiler.
		[John J Lee <jjl@pobox.com>]

	- Functions declared as "except *" were not returning exceptions.
		[John J Lee <jjl@pobox.com>]

	- A syntax warning from Plex about assignment to None has
		been eliminated.
		[Gordon Williams <g_will@cyberus.ca>]

	- Public function declaration with empty argument list was
		producing (void) in .pxi file.
		[Michael P. Dubner <dubnerm@mindless.com>]

	- Incorrect error signalling code was being generated in the
		__hash__ special method of an extension type.


0.8.1
-----

Bug fixes:

	- Names of structs, unions and enums in external header
		files were getting mangled when they shouldn't have been.
		[Norman Shelley <Norman.Shelley@motorola.com>]

	- Modified distutils extension so that it will stop before
		compiling the C file if the Pyrex compiler reports errors.
		[John J Lee <jjl@pobox.com>]


0.8
---

New features:

  - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: The type object of an external extension
  	type is now imported at run time using the Python import
  	mechanism. To make this possible, an 'extern' extension type
  	declaration must DECLARE THE MODULE from which the extension
  	type originates. See the new version of the "Extension Types"
  	documentation for details.

  	This change was made to eliminate the need for Pyrex to be
  	told the C name of the type object, or for the Pyrex module
  	to be linked against the object code providing the type object.

  	You will have to update any existing external extension type
  	declarations that you are using. I'm sorry about that, but it
  	was too hard to support both the old and new ways.

  - Compile-time importing: A Pyrex module can now import declarations
  	from another Pyrex module using the new 'cimport' statement. See
  	the new section on "Sharing Declarations Between Pyrex Modules" in
  	the documentation.

Minor improvements:

	- An error is reported if you declare a struct, union or
		extension type using 'cdef' in one place and 'ctypedef'
		in another.

	- Struct, union and extension types can only be forward-
		declared using 'cdef', not 'ctypedef' (otherwise invalid
		C code would be generated).

	- The 'global' statement can be used at the module level to
		declare that a name is a module-level name rather than a
		builtin. This can be used to access module attributes such
		as __name__ that would otherwise be assumed to be builtins.
		[Pat Maupin <pmaupin@speakeasy.net>]

	- The 'assert' statement now accepts a second argument.
		[Francois Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>]

Bug fixes:

	- When using Python 2.3, "True" or "False" could sometimes
		turn up in generated code instead of "1" or "0".
		[Adam Hixson <chixson@ou.edu>]

	- Function return value not always converted to or from a
		Python object when it should have been.

	- Certain kinds of error in a function call expression
		could crash the compiler.
		["Edward C. Jones" <edcjones@erols.com>]

	- Fixed memory leak in functions with * or ** args.
		[Alexander A Naanou <alex_nanou@pochtamt.ru>]


0.7.1
-----

Bug fixes:

	- Calling a function declared as returning an extension
		type could crash the compiler.

	- A function call with type errors in the argument list
		could crash the compiler.

	- An 'else' clause on a for-from statement could crash
		the compiler.

	- Incorrect casting code was generated when a generic
		object argument of a special method was declared as
		being of an extension type.
		[Phillip J. Eby <pje@telecommunity.com>]

	- A blank line that couldn't be interpreted wholly as
		a valid indentation sequence caused a syntax error.
		In particular, a formfeed character on an otherwise
		blank line wasn't accepted.
		[Francois Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>]

	- Parallel assignments were incorrectly optimised.

	- A bare tuple constructor with an extra comma at the
		end of a line caused a syntax error.

0.7
---

New features:

	- Attributes of extension types can be exposed to Python
		code, either read/write or read-only.

	- Different internal and external names can be specified
		for C entities.

	- None is a compile-time constant, and more efficient code
		is generated to reference it.

	- Command line options for specifying directories to
		search for include files.

Enhancements:

	- More efficient code is generated for access to Python
		valued C attributes of extension types.

	- Cosmetic code improvement: Less casting back and forth
		between extension types and PyObject * when referencing
		C members of the object struct.

	- C arguments and variables declared as an extension type
		can take the value None.

	- Form feed characters are accepted as whitespace.

	- Function names in tracebacks are qualified with
		module name and class name.

Bug fixes:

	- A sufficiently complex expression in a boolean context
		could cause code to be generated twice for the same
		subexpression.

	- Incorrect casting code was generated when passing an
		extension type to a function expecting a generic Python
		object.

	- Executable statements are now disallowed inside a
		cdef class block (previously they silently caused
		crazy C code to be generated).

	- Tracebacks should now report the correct filename for
		functions defined in files included with the 'include'
		statement.

	- The documentation incorrectly claimed that an extension
		type can't have a __del__ method. In fact, it can, and
		it behaves as expected.


0.6.1
-----

Bug fixes:

	- Fixed broken distutils extension.



0.6
---

New features:

	- Command line options for reporting version number,
		requesting a listing file and specifying the name of
		the generated C file.

	- An 'include' statement allows inclusion of declarations
		from other Pyrex source files.

	- If there are any public declarations, a Pyrex include
		file is generated (as well as a .h file) containing
		declarations for them.

	- Extension types can be declared public, so their C
		attributes are visible to other Pyrex and C code.

	- Try-except statements can now have an 'else' clause.
		[Francois Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>]

	- Multiple simple statements can be placed on one line
		separated by semicolons.

	- A suite consisting of a simple statement list can now
		be placed on the same line after the colon in most
		cases.
		[Francois Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>]

	- The automatic coercion of a C string to a C char has
		been removed (it proved to be too error-prone).
		Instead, there is a new form of literal for C
		character constants: c'X'

	- The __get__ special method (used by descriptor objects)
		now allows for the possibility of the 2nd or 3rd
		arguments being NULL. Also the __set__ method has been
		split into two methods, __set__ and __delete__.
		[Phillip J. Eby <pje@telecommunity.com>]

Bug fixes:

	- Values unpacked into a non-Python destination variable
		were not being converted before assignment.
		[Gareth Watts <gareth@omnipotent.net>]

	- Hex constants greater than 0x7fffffff caused compiler
		to crash. [Gareth Watts <gareth@omnipotent.net>]

	- Type slots are no longer statically initialised with
		extern function pointers, to avoid problems with
		some compilers. The hack in the distutils extension
		to work around this by compiling as C++ has been
		disabled. [Phillip J. Eby <pje@telecommunity.com>]

	- Fixed several more instances of the error-reporting
		routine being called with arguments in the wrong
		order. Hoping I've *finally* got all of them now...

	- Nested for-from loops used the same control variable.
		[Sebastien de Menten <sdementen@hotmail.com>]

	- Fixed some other error message related bugs.
		[Francois Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>]

	- Assigning to slice didn't work.
		[Francois Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>]

	- Temp variables were being declared as extension
		types and then being assigned PyObject *'s. All
		Python temp vars are now declared as PyObject *.
		[Francois Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>]

0.5
---

Bug fixes:

	- Algorithm for allocating temp variables redesigned
		to fix various errors concerning temp
		variable re-use.
		[Mark Rowe <bdash@gmx.net>]

	- Memory leak occured sometimes when an implicit
		type test was applied to the result of an
		expression.
		[christoph.wiedemann@daimlerchrysler.com]

	- __set__ method of extension types had wrong
		signature.
		[Josh Littlefield <joshl@cisco.com>]

0.4.6
-----

Bug fixes:

	- Indexing multi-dimensional C arrays didn't
		work.
		[Gary Dietachmayer <gary.dietachmayer@dsto.defence.gov.au>]


0.4.5
-----

New features:

	- There is now a 'public' declaration for
		making Pyrex-defined variables and functions
		available to external C code. A .h file is
		also generated if there are any public
		declarations.

Enhancements:

	- Defining __len__/__getitem__ methods in an
		extension class fills sq_length/sq_item slots
		as well as mp_length/mp_subscript.
		[Matthias Baas <baas@ira.uka.de>]

	- The Distutils extension now allows .c files
		to be incorporated along with .pyx files.
		[Modification to Distutils extension contributed
		by Darrell Gallion <dgallion1@yahoo.com>.]

Bug fixes:

	- Float literals without a decimal point
		work again now.
		[Mike Rovner <mike@bindkey.com>]
		[Peter Lepage <gpl@mail.lns.cornell.edu>]

	- Compiler crashed if exception value didn't
		match function return type.
		[Michael JasonSmith <mpj17@smtphost.canterbury.ac.nz>]

	- The setup.py file should now install the
		Lexicon.pickle file in the right place.
		[Patch supplied by David M. Cooke
		<cookedm@arbutus.physics.mcmaster.ca>]

	- Compiler crashed when compiling a C function that
		returned an extension type.
		[David M. Cooke
		<cookedm@arbutus.physics.mcmaster.ca>]

	- Anonymous enum types did not have C code
		suppressed inside an extern-from block.
		[Matthew Mueller <donut@azstarnet.com>]


0.4.4
-----

Enhancements:

	- Tracebacks now extend into Pyrex function
		calls and show line numbers in the Pyrex
		source file.

	- Syntax for float literals made more lenient
		(no longer requires digits both before and
		after the point).
		[Peter Lepage <gpl@mail.lns.cornell.edu>]

	- Method calls can be made on string literals
		(e.g. ",".join(x)).
		[pedro_rodriguez@club-internet.fr]

Bug fixes:

	- Incorrect refcount code generated when a
		Python function needing argument type tests
		had local Python variables.
		[Matthias Baas <baas@ira.uka.de>]

	- 'self' parameter of __getitem__ method of
		extension type had wrong implicit type.
		[Peter Lepage <gpl@mail.lns.cornell.edu>]

	- Repaired breakage introduced by trying to
		allow an empty parameter list to be written
		as (void). No longer attempting to allow
		this (too hard to parse correctly).
		[Peter Lepage <gpl@mail.lns.cornell.edu>]

	- Found bug in Plex 1.1.2 which was the *real*
		cause of the two-newlines-in-a-row problem.
		Removed the Opt(Eol)+Str("\n") hacks in
		the scanner which were working around this
		before.
		[pedro_rodriguez@club-internet.fr]

	- __call__ special method of extension types
		had wrong signature.
		[Peter Lepage <gpl@mail.lns.cornell.edu>]


0.4.3
-----

New language features:

	- For-from loop for iterating over integer
		ranges, using pure C loop where possible.

Enhancements:

	- sizeof() can now be applied to types as
		well as variables.

	- Improved handling of forward-declared
		extension types.

Bug fixes:

	- Two newlines in a row in a triple quoted
		string caused a parse error on some
		platforms.
		[Matthias Baas <baas@ira.uka.de>]

	- Fixed problem with break and continue in
		the else-clause of a loop.


0.4.2
-----

New language features:

	- C functions can be declared as having an
		exception return value, which is checked
		whenever the function is called. If an
		exception is detected inside a C function
		for which no exception value is declared,
		a warning message is printed and the
		exception is cleared.

	- Cascaded assignments (i.e. a = b = c
		are now supported.

	- Anonymous enum declarations are allowed,
		for when you just want to declare constants.

	- The C types "long long" and "long double"
		are now understood. Also, "int" is optional
		after "short" or "long".

Enhancements:

	- A * argument in a function call can now be
		any sequence, not just a tuple.

	-	A C char* or char[] will be turned into
		a char by taking its first character if
		used in a context where a char is required,
		thus allowing a string literal to be used as
		a char literal.

	- C string * C int or vice versa is now
		interpreted as Python string replication.

	- Function arguments are checked for void or
		incomplete type.

Bug fixes:

	- Non-external extension types show up in the
		module dict once more (this got broken in
		0.4.1).

	- A spurious decref has been removed from the
		runtime support code for the "import" statement.
		Hopefully this will prevent the crashes some
		people have been experiencing when importing
		builtin modules.
		[Mathew Yeates <mathew@comma.jpl.nasa.gov>]

0.4.1
-----

New language features:

	- "ctypedef struct/union/enum/class" statements
		added, for use in extern-from blocks when a
		header file uses a ctypedef to declare a
		tagless struct, union or enum type.

	- "pass" allowed in an extern-from block.

	- "cdef extern from *" for when you don't want
	  to specify an include file name.

	- Argument names may be omitted in function
	  signatures when they're not needed.

	- New reserved word NULL for the null C pointer.

Compiler enhancements:

	- Lexicon is now picked in binary format, so
		startup should be much faster on slower
		machines.

	- If Pyrex decides to rebuild the lexicon and
		then finds that it can't write a pickle file,
		it now prints a warning and carries on
		instead of crashing.

	- Chat about hash codes and lexicon pickling
		now turned off by default except when creating
		a new lexicon (which ought never happen now
		unless you change the scanner).

Bug fixes:

	- Modified the runtime support code for "import"
		statements, hopefully fixing problem with using
		a Pyrex module in conjunction with py2exe.

	- DL_EXPORT now used in both the prototype and
	  definition of the module init function.

	- Exception state is now saved and restored around
	  calls to an extension type __dealloc__ method,
	  to avoid screwing up if the object is deallocated
	  while an exception is being propagated.

	- Making an attribute reference to a method of
	  an extension type caused a compiler crash.

	- Doc string in new-style class definition
	  caused a run-time error.

	- Insufficient parentheses were put around C type
	  casts.

	- Constructors for extension types are now read-only
	  C global variables instead of entries in the
	  module dict. This change was needed to prevent
	  Numeric from blowing up due to touching its
	  typeobject before import_numeric() could be called.

0.4
---

New features:

  - "cdef extern from" statement allows inclusion
    of C header files to be specified, solving
    a number of problems including:
      - Clashes between Pyrex and C declarations,
        due to "const" and other reasons
      - Windows-specific features required in
        function declarations
      - Helping deal with types such as "size_t"
      - Helping deal with functions defined as
        macros

  - Access to internals of pre-existing extension
    types is now possible by placing an extension
    type declaration inside a "cdef extern from"
    block.

Bug fixes:

  - Error not reported properly when passing
    wrong number of args to certain special
    methods of extension types.
    [Mitch Chapman <mitchchapman@earthlink.net>]

  - Compile-time crash when defining an extension
    type with a __hash__ method.

Minor enhancements:

  - Hashing of the scanner source file made more
    platform-independent, making spurious regeneration
    of the pickle less likely.


0.3.4
-----

Bug fixes:

  - Runtime crash when using * or ** args in
    a method of an extension type fixed.
		[Matthew Mueller <donut@azstarnet.com>]

	- Compiler crash when using default argument
	  values in a method of a Python class.
	  [Mike Rovner <mike@bindkey.com>]

Enhancements:

  - Type slots filled with functions from outside
    the extension module are now initialised dynamically,
    which should eliminate at least some of the
    "initialiser is not constant" problems experienced
    on Windows.
    [Marek Baczek <imbaczek@poczta.fm>]

  - On Windows, __declspec(dllexport) is now used for
    the module init func declaration (or should be --
    I haven't tested this).
    [Marek Baczek <imbaczek@poczta.fm>]

  - The compiler shouldn't attempt to rewrite the
    Lexicon.pickle file unless the source has been
    changed (hashing is used now instead of comparing
    timestamps). So there should be no problem any more
    with installing Pyrex read-only.
    [fawcett@uwindsor.ca]

0.3.3
-----

Bug fixes:

* A void * can be assigned from any other
pointer type.
[piers@cs.su.oz.au]

* File names in error messages no longer
quoted (this was apparently confusing some
editors).
[donut@azstarnet.com]

* Reference to a struct member which is an
array is coerced to a pointer.
[donut@azstarnet.com]

* Default argument values did not work
in methods of an extension type.
[donut@azstarnet.com]

* Single or double quote characters in a
triple-quoted string didn't work.
[donut@azstarnet.com]

* Using *args in a function definition
sometimes caused a crash at runtime.
[donut@azstarnet.com]

* A hack is included which tries to make
functions in Python.h which use 'const'
accessible from Pyrex. But it doesn't
work on all platforms. Thinking about a
better solution.


New features:

* Comment containing Pyrex version number
and date/time at top of generated C file.
[baas@ira.uka.de]


0.3.2
-----

Bug fixes:

* The & operator works again.
[matthias.oberlaender@daimlerchrysler.com]
[baas@ira.uka.de]

* The & operator had incorrect precedence.

* "SystemError: 'finally' pops bad exception"
under some circumstances when raising an
exception. [baas@ira.uka.de]

* Calling a Python function sometimes leaked
a reference.

* Crash under some circumstances when casting
a Python object reference to a C pointer type.
[mpj17@cosc.canterbury.ac.nz]

* Crash when redeclaring a function.
[baas@ira.uka.de]

* Crash when using a string constant inside
a Python class definition.
[mike@bindkey.com]

* 2-element slice indexing expressions.
[mike@bindkey.com]

* Crash when encountering mixed tabs and
spaces.

0.3.1
-----

New features:

* More special methods for extension types:
__delitem__, __delslice__, __getattr__,
__setattr__, __delattr__

* Module-level variable of a Python object type
declared with 'cdef' is private to the module, and
held in a C variable instead of the module dict.

* External C functions with variable argument lists
can be declared and called.

* Pyrex-defined Python functions can have default
argument values and * and ** arguments, and can be
called with keyword arguments.

* Pointer-to-function types can be declared.

* Pyrex now supports a declaration syntax that
C doesn't! Example:

  cdef (int (*)()) foo() # function returning a function ptr

* There is now a ctypedef statement.

* Extension types can now be forward-declared.

* All permutations of (non-Unicode) string literals
and escape codes should work now.

* Hex and octal integer literals.

* Imaginary number literals.

* Docstrings are now supported.

Bug fixes:

* Type tests are performed when using a Python object
in a context requiring a particular extension type.

* Module-level variable holding the type object
of an extension type had incorrect type.

New features:

* Extension types! Yay!

0.2.2
-----

Bug fixes:

* Fixed error message generation again after a previous
bug was accidentally re-indroduced.

* Removed the declaration of isspace() from the code
generated for print statement support (it's not needed
and was conflicting with the system-supplied one on
some platforms).

0.2
---

New features:

* Executable statements are now allowed at the
top level of a module.

* Python class definitions are now supported, with
the following limitations:

    - Class definitions are only allowed at the top
      level of a module, not inside a control structure
      or function or another class definition.

    - Assigning a Pyrex-defined Python function to a
      class attribute outside of the class definition
      will not create a method (because it's not an
      interpreted Python function and therefore
      won't trigger the bound-method creation magic).

    - The __metaclass__ mechanism and the creation of
      new-style classes is not (yet) supported.

* Casting between Python and non-Python types is
better supported.

Bug fixes:

* Fixed bug preventing for-loops from working.


0.1.1
-----

* I've discovered a flaw in my algorithm for releasing
temp variables. Fixing this properly will require some
extensive reworking; I've put in a hack in the meantime
which should work at the cost of using more temp variables
than are strictly necessary.

* Fixed bug preventing access to builtin names from
working. This should also have fixed the import
statement, but I haven't tested it.

* Fixed some errors in __Pyx_GetExcValue.

* Fixed bug causing boolean expressions to malfunction
sometimes.
