v1.6.0-rc.0

I currently do not have access to the Windows computer I was using for my major pymport-based project and I cannot fully test this version which will remain as RC for the time being

• macOS Apple Silicon prebuilt binaries
• Tested with Node.js 22 and 23
• Drop macOS 11 and 12 support
• Upgrade the built-in Python to 3.12.8
• Improved build of the built-in Python ensuring that all Python modules do not assume anything about the host system - including working SSL without requiring Homebrew on macOS
• Support rebuilding against Python 3.13
• Fix (and test) all compression modules on all platforms
• Recompiling the built-in Python now requires that conan>=2.0.0 is installed
• Fix #3, allow Python objects to be garbage-collected in fully synchronous code
• Fix #193, use the Node.js solution for cancelling exceptions thrown in a running asynchronous operation after the thread has been terminated
• Fix #324, reference counting error when accessing the Python constructor .constr

v1.5.1

• Fix the build with recent Node.js versions after node_api_nogc_env in Node.js 18.20

v1.5.0

• Add Python 3.12 support and upgrade the built-in Python to 3.12.2
• Drop Node.js 14 support

v1.4.3

• Fix #104, do not mess up the loading of additional binary modules after pymport

v1.4.2

• Builtin Python updated to 3.10.13

v1.4.1

• Node.js 20 support
• Builtin Python updated to 3.10.11
• Fix [#78], a single Buffer argument is interpreted as kwargs

v1.4.0

• The new minimum supported versions of Node.js are now v12.22.0, v14.17.0, v16.0.0

New Features

• Allow limiting the depth of the recursion of toJS()
• Allow disabling of the generic Buffer protocol transformation to toJS()
• Add PyObject.prototype.map method compatible with Array.prototype.map
• Proxified functions are now also Proxy objects, resolves #58
• PyObject.item() now returns undefined instead of throwing an exception when an element cannot be retrieved by []
• Allow enabling of debug output via the environment (PYMPORT_DEBUG_sys vars)
• Improved bootstrap and shutdown allowing to load and unload the addon in worker_threads, partially resolves #69

Bug Fixes

• Fix #66, race condition can result in an abort when using pymport with worker_threads
• Fix #40, patch _sysconfigdata after installation
• Fix #70, random crash in a worker_thread
• Fix #69, pymport leaks TLS memory when used in a worker_thread
