  • Add support for Python 3.12. With the removal of distutils from Python 3.12, projects
    using CFFI features that depend on distutils at runtime must add a dependency on
    setuptools to function under Python 3.12+. CFFI does not declare a runtime setuptools
    requirement to avoid an unnecessary dependency for projects that do not require it.
  • Drop support for end-of-life Python versions (2.7, 3.6, 3.7).
  • Add support for PEP517 builds; setuptools is now a required build dependency.
  • Declare python_requires metadata for Python 3.8+. This allows unsupported Pythons
    to continue using previously released sdists and wheels.
  • Move project source under src/; a more standard layout that also enables CI to more easily
    catch packaging errors.

(retroactive GitHub release for current stable version 1.15.1)

  • If you call ffi.embedding_api() but don't write any extern "Python" function there, then the resulting C code would fail an assert. Fixed.
  • Updated Windows/arm64 embedded libffi static lib to v3.4.2, and scripted to ease future updates (thanks Niyas Sait!)
