[*] marks changes that break compatibility with previous versions.

New function Py.Import.exec_code_module_from_string (suggested by Francois Berenger, https://github.com/thierry-martinez/pyml/issues/78)
New function Py.Module.compile provides a better API than Py.compile.
Py.Object.t can now be serialized (with Marshal or output_value), using Python pickle module
Cross-compiling friendly architecture detection (suggested by @EduardoRFS, https://discuss.ocaml.org/t/a-zoo-of-values-for-system/8525/20)
Detect macro unix instead of __linux__, to handle *BSD OSes (reported by Chris Pinnock, https://github.com/thierry-martinez/pyml/issues/74)
Fix bug in Windows
Null checks for many functions raising OCaml exceptions, instead of segmentation fault (initial implementation by Laurent Mazare, https://github.com/thierry-martinez/pyml/pull/72)
Fix wide character conversion bugs leading to segmentation fault in Py_wfopen (fixed by Jerry James, https://github.com/thierry-martinez/pyml/pull/75)
Gc.full_major () before unloading libpython in Py.finalize, to prevent segfaulting on finalizing dangling references to Python values after the library had been unloaded (reported by Denis Efremov on coccinelle mailing list)
Fix segmentation fault when ~debug_build:true was passed to Py.initialize (reported by Stéphane Glondu, https://github.com/thierry-martinez/pyml/issues/79)

More portable architecture detection (inspired by the discussion https://discuss.ocaml.org/t/a-zoo-of-values-for-system/8525 initiated by Olaf Hering, with helpful comments from Daniel Bünzli, @EduardoRFS, David Allsopp, kit-ty-kate and jbeckford)
Better compatibility with Windows
Correct version detection for Python 3.10

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)

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)

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.
- Py_fopen is optional and Py_wfopen is used instead if available.
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.)

Add Py.Seq.{of_seq_map, to_seq_map, unsafe_to_seq_map, of_list, of_list_map} functions.
Remove Py.Import.cleanup, which has been removed from Python 3.9, and was marked "for internal use only" before. (Reported by Victor Stinner, https://github.com/thierry-martinez/pyml/issues/49)
Fix: memory leak in pyml_wrap_closure (Fixed by Laurent Mazare, https://github.com/thierry-martinez/pyml/pull/53)
