v0.2.0: No GIL holding it back 🪨
🪨 The rock learns to run without the GIL.
The 0.1.x line was about getting YAMLRocks off the ground, and, memorably, about getting it to actually ship. 0.2.0 is about what it does now that it is flying.
The headline: free-threaded CPython is a first-class, shipped target. No-GIL wheels (cp314t) for Linux, macOS, and Windows, on x86_64 and ARM, glibc and musl. Run a free-threaded interpreter and pip install yamlrocks just hands you a wheel: no compiler, no GIL, no asterisks. Parse and emit YAML from as many threads as you have, no lock of our own in the way.
It got quicker on the way, too: a faster hashing path for the parser's key cache, and a tighter integer formatter on the dump side. Pure speed, byte-for-byte identical output.
And the part you do not see: every single wheel we ship is now built and run against the full test suite on its own platform, architecture, and libc. x86_64, aarch64, armv7, ppc64le, Windows on ARM, Alpine/musl, all of it. There is also a security bump (PyO3 0.29) that quietly closed a couple of advisories. "Rock-solid" stopped being just the tagline and became the CI.
