Nuitka Release 0.6.11
This release is a massive improvement in many ways with lots of bug fixes and new features.
Bug Fixes
• Fix, the .pyi file parser didn't handle relative imports. Fixed in 0.6.10.1 already.
• Windows: Fix, multiprocessing plugin was not working reliable following of imports from the additional
entry point. Fixed in 0.6.10.1 already.
• Pipenv: Workaround parsing issue with our setup.py to allow installation from Github. Fixed in
0.6.10.1 already.
• Merging of branches in optimization could give indetermistic results leading to more iterations than
necessary. Fixed in 0.6.10.1 already.
• Windows: Avoid profile powershell when attempting to resolve symlinks. Fixed in 0.6.10.1 already.
• Windows: Fix, always check for stdin, stdout, and stderr presence. This was so far restricted to gui
mode applications, but it seems to be necessary in other situations too. Fixed in 0.6.10.1 already.
• Python2: Fix, --trace-execution was not working for standalone mode but can be useful for
debugging. Fixed in 0.6.10.1 already.
• Windows: Onefile could run into path length limits. Fixed in 0.6.10.3 already.
• Windows: The winlib gcc download link became broken and was updated. Fixed in 0.6.10.3 already.
• Plugins: The "__main__" module was not triggering all plugin hooks, but it needs to for completeness.
• Standalone: Fix, symlinked Python installations on Windows were not working, with dependency
walker being unable to look into these. Fixed in 0.6.10.4 already.
• Standalone: Fix support for numpy on Windows and macOS, the plugin failed to copy important
DLLs. Fixed in 0.6.10.4 already.
• Python3: For versions before 3.7, the symlink resolution also needs to be done, but wasn't handling
the bytes output yet. Fixed in 0.6.10.4 already.
• Fix, folder based inclusion would both pick up namespace folders and modules of the same name,
crashing the compilation due to conflicts. Fixed in 0.6.10.4 already.
• Fix, the --lto wasn't used for clang on non-Windows yet.
• Fix, the order of locals dict releases wasn't enforced, which could lead to differences that break
caching of C files potentially. Fixed in 0.6.10.5 already.
• Fix, hash nodes didn't consider if their argument was raising, even if the type of the argument was
str and therefore the operation should not. Fixed in 0.6.10.5 already.
• Fix, need to copy type shape and escape description for the replacement inverted comparisons when
used with not, otherwise the compilation can crash as these are expected to be present at all times.
Fixed in 0.6.10.5 already.
• Fix, some complex constant values could be confused, e.g. -0j and 0j. These corner cases were
not properly considered in the constant loading code, only for float so far.
• Standalone: Fix, bytecode only standard library modules were not working. This is at least used with
Fedora 33.
• Linux: Fix, extension modules compiled with --lto were not working.
• Windows: Retry if updating resources fails due to Virus checkers keeping files locked.
• Plugins: Pre- and postload code of modules should not be allowed to cause ImportError, as these
will be invisible to the other parts of optimization, instead make them unraisable error traces.
