PyPy v8.0.0 Release
7 hours ago
- PyPy v8.0.0 released with support for Python 2.7, 3.11, and 3.12 (beta).
- Major version bump due to glibc2.28 requirement and new cp312-abi3 support.
- glibc2.28 is now required; builds use manylinux_2_28 and gcc14.
- cp312-abi3 support allows PyPy C headers to match CPython's limited API, enabling future use of abi3 wheels.
- RPython code generation improved with computed gotos, inlining, and source comments.
- HPy backend has been dropped; code remains toggleable.
- Revived tool pyhdrdump compares PyPy and CPython header files.
- Three interpreters: PyPy2.7, PyPy3.11 (final release), PyPy3.12 (beta).
- Thanks to donors and contributors; encouragement for further support and contributions.
