## 0.4.0 - 2020-01-27
- The 0.4.x series is planned to be the last that will support Rust 2015.
- Added [Python 3.8][187] support.
- [Type errors][199] during downcasts now explain what the expected and actual types are. (PR by [@markbt])
- Data items can now be shared between Python objects (e.g. for iterators) using [`PySharedRef`][189]. (PR by [@yuja])
- [`PyList` can now be appended to with `append`][197]. The method for inserting items is renamed to `insert` for consistency. (PR by [@binh-vu])

## 0.3.0 - 2019-08-01
- Minumum Rust compiler version is now 1.30.
- Added [Capsule support][169] (PR by [@gracinet])
- Added [Rust Docstring support for instance methods][166], [static methods and class methods][179] (PRs by [@quark-zju] and [@AdamRzepka])
- [Made macros work with Rust 2018][167] (PR by [@derekdreery])
- [Support Rust raw identifiers for method and keyword names][183] (PR by [@quark-zju])
- Added `impl RefFromPyObject for [u8]`. This allows using `&[u8]` as parameter type in `py_fn!`.
When passing a `bytes` object from Python, this allows accessing the data without a copy.
(other mutable Python objects will use a defensive copy)

## 0.2.1 - 2018-09-28
- Added Python 3.7 support
## 0.2.0 - 2018-02-27
- Added `pub` modifier to `py_class!` syntax: `py_class!(pub class ClassName |py| ...)`
- Changed `obj.extract::<Vec<T>>(py)` to work with any object implementing the sequence protocol; not just lists.
- Added the `buffer` module, which allows safe access to the [buffer protocol](https://docs.python.org/3/c-api/buffer.html).
This allows zero-copy access to numpy arrays.
- When building with `--feature nightly`, `extract::<Vec<PrimitiveType>>` will try to use the buffer protocol
before falling back to the sequence protocol.
- [Added support for optional parameters][81] to `py_argparse!`, `py_fn!` and `py_class!` macros. (PR by [@Luthaf])
Example: `py_fn!(py, function(i: i32 = 0))`
- Made `ObjectProtocol::compare()` available on Python 3.
- Added `ObjectProtocol::rich_compare()`.
- Fixed [non-deterministic segfault][115] in extension modules using `py_class!` (PR by [@markbt])
- Fixed python27-sys [compiler error on ARM][114] (PR by [@ostrosco])
- [Export path to Python interpreter as Cargo variable][119] (PR by [@indygreg])
