There are +bug fixes and a major upgrade to our c-api layer (cpyext) + +You can download the PyPy 5.0.0 release here: + + http://pypy.org/download.html + +We would like to thank our donors for the continued support of the PyPy +project. + +We would also like to thank our contributors and +encourage new people to join the project. PyPy has many +layers and we need help with all of them: `PyPy`_ and `RPython`_ documentation +improvements, tweaking popular `modules`_ to run on pypy, or general `help`_ +with making RPython's JIT even better. + +CFFI +==== + +While not applicable only to PyPy, `cffi`_ is arguably our most significant +contribution to the python ecosystem. PyPy 5.0.0 ships with +`cffi-1.5.2`_ which now allows embedding PyPy (or cpython) in a c program. + +.. _`PyPy`: http://doc.pypy.org +.. _`RPython`: https://rpython.readthedocs.org +.. _`cffi`: https://cffi.readthedocs.org +.. _`cffi-1.5.2`: http://cffi.readthedocs.org/en/latest/whatsnew.html#v1-5-2 +.. _`modules`: http://doc.pypy.org/en/latest/project-ideas.html#make-more-python-modules-pypy-friendly +.. _`help`: http://doc.pypy.org/en/latest/project-ideas.html +.. _`numpy`: https://bitbucket.org/pypy/numpy + +What is PyPy? +============= + +PyPy is a very compliant Python interpreter, almost a drop-in replacement for +CPython 2.7. It's fast (`pypy and cpython 2.7.x`_ performance comparison) +due to its integrated tracing JIT compiler. + +We also welcome developers of other +`dynamic languages`_ to see what RPython can do for them. + +This release supports **x86** machines on most common operating systems +(Linux 32/64, Mac OS X 64, Windows 32, OpenBSD, freebsd), +newer **ARM** hardware (ARMv6 or ARMv7, with VFPv3) running Linux, and the +big- and little-endian variants of **ppc64** running Linux. + +.. _`pypy and cpython 2.7.x`: http://speed.pypy.org +.. _`dynamic languages`: http://pypyjs.org + +Other Highlights (since 4.0.1 released in November 2015) +======================================================= + +* Bug Fixes + + * + + * + + * + + * Issues reported with our previous release were resolved_ after reports from users on + our issue tracker at https://bitbucket.org/pypy/pypy/issues or on IRC at + #pypy + +* New features: + + * + + * + + * + +* Numpy: + + * + + * + + +* Performance improvements and refactorings: + + * + + * + + * + +.. _resolved: http://doc.pypy.org/en/latest/whatsnew-5.0.0.html + +Please update, and continue to help us make PyPy better. + +Cheers + +The PyPy Team + diff --git a/pypy/doc/whatsnew-5.0.0.rst b/pypy/doc/whatsnew-5.0.0.rst --- a/pypy/doc/whatsnew-5.0.0.rst +++ b/pypy/doc/whatsnew-5.0.0.rst @@ -1,6 +1,6 @@ -========================= -What's new in PyPy 4.1.+ -========================= +======================== +What's new in PyPy 5.0.0 +======================== .. this is a revision shortly after release-4.0.1 .. startrev: 4b5c840d0da2 diff --git a/pypy/doc/whatsnew-head.rst b/pypy/doc/whatsnew-head.rst new file mode 100644 --- /dev/null +++ b/pypy/doc/whatsnew-head.rst @@ -0,0 +1,8 @@ +========================= +What's new in PyPy 5.0.+ +========================= + +.. this is a revision shortly after release-5.0.0 +.. startrev: 6d13e55b962a + + _______________________________________________ pypy-commit mailing list [email protected] https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pypy-commit
