Implemented enhancements:
- (#483) allow passing a `signature` argument to constructors, to force selection of the desired one

- (#503) auto detect java_home on OSX, using `/usr/libexec/java_home` (if JAVA_HOME is not declared)
- (#514) writing to static fields (and fix reading from them)
- (#517) make signature exceptions more useful
- (#502) provide a stacktrace for where JVM was started.
- (#523) expose the class's class attribute

Fixed bugs:
- (#481) wrong use of strip on JRE path
- (#465) correct reflection to avoid missing any methods from parent classes or interfaces
- (#508) don't had error details with a custom exception when java class is not found
- (#510) add missing references to .pxi files in setup.py, speeding up recompilation
- (#518) ensure autoclass prefers methods over properties
- (#520) improved discovery of libjvm.so + provide a workaround if it doesn't work

Documentation:
- (#478) document automatic Thread detach feature
- (#512) document the requirement to keep reference to object/functions passed to java, for as long as it might use them
- (#521) fix inheritance in example
