= Highlights =
* List strategies. Now lists that contain only ints or only floats should
be as efficient as storing them in a binary-packed array. It also improves
the JIT performance in places that use such lists. There are also special
strategies for unicode and string lists.
* As usual, numerous performance improvements. There are many examples of
python constructs that now should be faster; too many to list them.
* Bugfixes and compatibility fixes with CPython.
* Windows fixes.
* NumPy effort progress; for the exact list of things that have been
done, consult the [http://buildbot.pypy.org/numpy-status/latest.html numpy
status page]. A tentative list of things that has been done:
* multi dimensional arrays
* various sizes of dtypes
* a lot of ufuncs
* a lot of other minor changes
Right now the `numpy` module is available under both `numpy` and
`numpypy` names. However, because it's incomplete, you have to `import
numpypy` first before doing any imports from `numpy`.
* New JIT hooks that allow you to hook into the JIT process from your
python program. There is a [http://doc.pypy.org/en/latest/jit-hooks.html
brief overview] of what they offer.
* Standard library upgrade from 2.7.1 to 2.7.2.
