Hi All.

Cython 0.9.6.13 is available for download at http://cython.org or  
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/Cython/0.9.6.13. The main improvements to  
this release are

- C++ exception handling (Felix Wu)
- (optional) C line numbers in Errors (Gary Furnish)
- some circular cimports (Gary Furnish)
- (experimental) parse tree transforms (Dag Seljebotn)
- struct member functions automatically coerced to function pointers  
(for easier C++ wrapping)
- no unneeded incref on function arguments
- allow single-character ascii literals to be used as ints (no need  
for c'x' notation)
- better support for using arrays as pointers

There are also several bugfixes and pre-Py3K changes due to Robert  
Bradshaw, Stefan Behnel, Jum Kleckner, and Chris Perkins. The  
compiler and package repositories have been merged, and while all  
history has been preserved it is a completely new repository now.

We are looking forward to lots of development at Sage Developer Days  
1 (http://wiki.sagemath.org/dev1) and hopefully some Google Summer of  
Code projects over the summer.

  - Robert
