• Use dune as default build system (dunification done by Laurent Mazare, https://github.com/thierry-martinez/pyml/pull/28)

  This should in particular fix build problems of reverse dependencies with the byte-code compiler (reported by @nicoTolly, https://github.com/thierry-martinez/pyml/issues/62)

  • Handle more platforms with dune (reported by Olaf Hering, https://github.com/thierry-martinez/pyml/issues/68)

  • pyutils is no longer used by generate and is shipped with pyml package as it was the case with Makefile-based build system (reported by Olaf Hering, https://github.com/thierry-martinez/pyml/issues/69)

• Support for raising exceptions with traceback from OCaml (implemented by Laurent Mazare, https://github.com/thierry-martinez/pyml/pull/65)

• Fix soundness bug with numpy (reported by Richard Alligier, https://github.com/thierry-martinez/pyml/pull/65)

• Fix Py.Array.numpy arrays on 32-bit platforms (reported by Olaf Hering, https://github.com/thierry-martinez/pyml/pull/70)

• Fix soundness bug on strings with OCaml <4.06 (reported by OCaml CI)

2021-02-26

• Compatibility with Python 3.10 (reported by Richard W.M. Jones)

  • PyObject_AsCharBuffer, PyObject_AsReadBuffer, PyObject_AsWriteBuffer bindings are marked optional as they have been removed in Python 3.10.

• More general handling of Unix architectures. (Fixed by Pino Toscano, https://github.com/thierry-martinez/pyml/pull/57)

• Add Py.Set module for Python sets. (Added by Laurent Mazare, https://github.com/thierry-martinez/pyml/pull/58)

• Fix #61: Numpy.to_bigarray raises an exception if source value is not a Numpy array instead of segfaulting. (Reported by Jonathan Laurent, https://github.com/thierry-martinez/pyml/issues/61)

• Fix #56, #59: Add python-config heuristics to find Python library. (Reported by Anders Thuné and Nils Becker, https://github.com/thierry-martinez/pyml/issues/56 https://github.com/thierry-martinez/pyml/issues/59)

• Fix import_module_opt for Python <3.6 (Reported by opam CI.)
