==========================
Features added

implement all comparison operators, similar to ``functools.total_ordering``.
Patch by Spencer Brown. (Github issue :issue:`2090`)
* A new directive ``cpp_locals`` was added that allows local C++ variables to
be lazily initialised (without default constructor), thus making them behave
more like Python variables.
Patch by David Woods. (Github issue :issue:`4160`)
* C++17 execution policies are supported in ``libcpp.algorithm``.

Both are currently considered experimental.
(Github issue :issue:`3611`)
* ``[...] * N`` is optimised for C integer multipliers ``N``.

* The dispatch code for binary operators to special methods could run into infinite recursion.

* Code optimisations were not applied to methods of Cython implemented C++ classes.

* The special ``cython`` module was not always detected in PEP-484 type annotations.
Patch by David Woods. (Github issue :issue:`4243`)
* Conversion from Python dicts to ``std::map`` was broken.
Patch by David Woods and Mikkel Skofelt. (Github issues :issue:`4231`, :issue:`4228`)
* The exception handling annotation ``except +*`` was broken.
Patch by David Woods. (Github issues :issue:`3065`, :issue:`3066`)
* Attribute annotations in Python classes are now ignored, because they are
just Python objects in a dict (as opposed to the fields of extension types).
Patch by David Woods. (Github issues :issue:`4196`, :issue:`4198`)
* An unnecessary slow-down at import time was removed from ``Cython.Distutils``.

* Python modules were not automatically recompiled when only their ``.pxd`` file changed.
Patch by Golden Rockefeller. (Github issue :issue:`1428`)
* The signature of ``PyFloat_FromString()`` in ``cpython.float`` was changed
to match the signature in Py3. It still has an automatic fallback for Py2.
(Github issue :issue:`3909`)
* A compile error on MSVC was resolved.

It should have been ``optimize.*``.
