- Fix LICENSE for databases/pypy-gdbm (GPLv2+).
- Add support for a slave port (i.e. the upcoming pypy3):
- Allow select variables to be overridden by slave port.
- Allow slave port to have its own distinfo and pkg-plist files.
- Depend on lang/pypy if translating with PYPY or PYPY_MINMEM options.
- Strip bundled cffi .so files.
ChangeLog:
- Highlighted changes
- Major improvements in the C-API compatibility layer
- Complete support for lxml
- Passing 95%+ of numpy's test suite
- Scipy and matplotlib builds and runs
- cffi updated to 1.7
- New features:
- Merge a major expansion of the C-API support in cpyext, also expand cpyext
tests to allow running them after translation as well as untranslated
- Instead of ?GIL not held when a CPython C extension module calls PyXxx?, we
now silently acquire/release the GIL. Helps with C extension modules that
call some PyXxx() functions without holding the GIL (arguably, they are
theoretically buggy).
- Support command line -v to trace import statements
- Revive traceviewer, a tool to use pygame to view traces
- Numpy via our internal _numpypy module:
- Implement ufunc.outer
- Move PyPy-specific numpypy headers to a subdirectory (also changed the repo
accordingly)
- Performance improvements:
- Use bitstrings to compress lists of descriptors that are attached to an
EffectInfo
- Remove most of the _ovf, _zer and _val operations from RPython. Kills quite
some code internally, and allows the JIT to do better optimizations: for
example, app-level code like x / 2 or x % 2 can now be turned into x >> 1
or x & 1, even if x is possibly negative.
- Rework the way registers are moved/spilled in before_call()
- Internal refactorings:
- Refactor code to better support Python3-compatible syntax
- Reduce the size of generated C sources during translation by eliminating
many many unused struct declarations (Issue #2281)
- Reduce the size of generated code by using the same function objects in all
generated subclasses
- Share cpyext Py* function wrappers according to the signature, shrinking
the translated libpypy.so by about 10% (without the JIT)
- Add back PYPY_BITS as it is required to define the names of two files,
depending if pypy is translated for 32 or 64 bit systems [1].
- Change maintainership to python@ [2][3][4]

Changes:
- Add external cffi ports (a la python):
- databases/pypy-gdbm
- databases/pypy-sqlite3
- x11-toolkits/pypy-tkinter
- Add bsd.pypy.mk for consistency between pypy ports.
- Add bsd.pypy.cffi.mk for consistency with external cffi ports.
- Switch back to using $PREFIX/pypy-X.Y (the '-' separator is required to
differentiate between lang/pypy and lang/pypy3)
- Remove all patches (upstreamed, see announcement below)
ChangeLog:
- Bug Fixes
- Revive non-SSE2 support
- Fixes for detaching _io.Buffer*
- Clear up contention in the garbage collector between trace-me-later and
pinning
- 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:
- cffi was updated to version 1.3
- The python stdlib was updated to 2.7.10 from 2.7.9
- vmprof now supports multiple threads
- The translation process builds cffi import libraries for some stdlib
packages, which should prevent confusion when package.py is not used
- better support for gdb debugging
- FreeBSD should be able to translate PyPy "out of the box" with no patches
- Numpy:
- Better support for record dtypes, including the align keyword
- Implement casting and create output arrays accordingly (still missing some
corner cases)
- Support creation of unicode ndarrays
- Better support ndarray.flags
- Support axis argument in more functions
- Refactor array indexing to support ellipses
- Allow the docstrings of built-in numpy objects to be set at run-time
- Support the buffered nditer creation keyword
- Performance improvements:
- Delay recursive calls to make them non-recursive
- Skip loop unrolling if it compiles too much code
- Tweak the heapcache
- Add a list strategy for lists that store both floats and 32-bit integers.
The latter are encoded as nonstandard NaNs. Benchmarks show that the speed
of such lists is now very close to the speed of purely-int or purely-float
lists.
- Simplify implementation of ffi.gc() to avoid most weakrefs
- Massively improve the performance of map() with more than one sequence
argument
