This release marks a milestone in terms of operating system support:
- Support for platforms missing some functions in the C library
- Solaris and derivates are supported (tested on illumos/OpenIndiana)
- macOS is supported
- Windows is supported
Although not all platforms received the same level of testing on all
supported Python versions, this release is a big improvement in terms
of platform support. All the MADV_* constants are exposed on the
supported platforms, and generally .find() and .rfind() is faster or
comparable to the performance of the built-in functions. In several
cases it is already significantly faster.
The supported platforms now include:
- Linux
- BSD systems (FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD)
- SunOS/Solaris (illumos/OpenIndiana)
- macOS
- Windows
