How about you create a pull request to better visualize exactly what changed. We may need to create two separate numpy files, but ideally we'd be able to do it in such a way that people could migrate their code over before we delete the old definitions. > Updating the buffer support sounds like a good idea to me, we would get rid > of the deprecation warning, but I think I'm not qualified enough for it. Wouldn't hurt to give it a go. IIRC, many of the changes were moving from using direct access (e.g. of structs) to using macros. > On Tue, Feb 2, 2016 at 12:50 PM, Robert Bradshaw <rober...@gmail.com> wrote: >> >> On Mon, Feb 1, 2016 at 3:22 PM, Marvin Ritter <marvin.rit...@gmail.com> >> wrote: >> > Hi, >> > >> > I have to use the NumPy C API for my current project and it seems that >> > Cython 0.23.4 it only shipping definitions for on all version of the >> > API. >> > But I need some of the newer methods. >> > >> > What are your plans on updating?
