========================== What's new in PyPy2.7 7.0+ ========================== .. this is a revision shortly after release-pypy-7.0.0 .. startrev: 481c69f7d81f .. branch: zlib-copying-third-time-a-charm Make sure zlib decompressobjs have their streams deallocated immediately on flush. .. branch: zlib-copying-redux Fix calling copy on already-flushed compressobjs. .. branch: math-improvements Improve performance of long operations where one of the operands fits into an int. .. branch: regalloc-playground Improve register allocation in the JIT. .. branch: promote-unicode Implement rlib.jit.promote_unicode to complement promote_string .. branch: unicode-utf8 Use utf8 internally to represent unicode, with the goal of never using rpython-level unicode .. branch: newmemoryview-app-level Since _ctypes is implemented in pure python over libffi, add interfaces and methods to support the buffer interface from python. Specifically, add a ``__pypy__.newmemoryview`` function to create a memoryview and extend the use of the PyPy-specific ``__buffer__`` class method.
