0.12 Release

[davidhewitt]

While the original issues I marked out for the 0.12 milestone are still not yet completed, I think that master already contains a lot of changes compared to 0.11.1.

So I'm tempted to suggest we push most of the outstanding issues from the 0.12 milestone into the 0.13 milestone (unless there is sudden movement on any of them) and start heading towards releasing 0.12. I think it doesn't really matter if the rest of the proposals don't land until 0.13.

This is what I still think should probably happen before an 0.12 release (as well as anything else people contribute):

• Write migration guide entry related to the exception changes I landed in Rework exceptions to be native types #1024 .
• Ideally I'd still like the three tickets related to PyErr to be completed (pretty python exception traceback in rust #592, PyErr does not implement std::error::Error #682, Question: How to convert Python Exception (PyErr) into string for logging #1034), given that Rework exceptions to be native types #1024 laid the groundwork for this to be possible.
• It would be nice to finish off the doc ticket Add Table with conversions between wrapper types #376
• @kngwyu finishing a fix for __radd__ etc don't get called if __add__ is also defined #844
• #[pyenum] enum WIP #1045
• #[derive(FromPyObject)] FromPyObject derivation for structs and enums #1065

Any thoughts?

I want to include the fix for #844. And we still need to conversion table though we have https://pyo3.rs/v0.11.1/conversions.html?

[davidhewitt]

Thanks, I added that to my post.

For the doc table - yeah I think it's still a good idea. I'll probably open a PR about it over the weekend, and hopefully you'll see then that it's useful.

In addition, I also want to include some enum-related PRs (#1045 and #1065)

[davidhewitt]

👍 it would be good to have #1045 and #1065, but if our contributors need more time to design these features I wouldn't think we have to wait for these to go in 0.12.

#844 can be checked.

Of the issues still remaining in the list at the top, it's mostly documentation waiting on me (including the PyErr PR, which is just waiting for me to add docs and test). I'm moving house in just under two weeks, so I definitely aim to get it all wrapped up ASAP before my life is swarmed by piles of packing boxes!

There's also #1045. @kngwyu / @stillinbeta what's your thoughts on the status of that PR? If you'd like more time on it, I'm thinking that we move it to the 0.13 milestone.

[davidhewitt]

If I don't hear any objections, I will make the 0.12 release this week. I'll probably merge #1115 on Wednesday evening, and the only other piece we're waiting for is the change to add_function discussed in #1156

As soon as those two are in, I'll create a release PR.

Friend has one last tweak to add - to help pick up python in anaconda env: #1175
