[Cython] Cython 0.9.8 released

[Stefan Behnel]

Hi all,

Cython 0.9.8 has been released. A lot of work by Robert, Greg and others
(inluding myself) went into this release to fix many bugs and add tons of
great features.

This release features

- everything that was done in Pyrex 0.9.8.x that wasn't in Cython already
- faster compilation
- more optimisations
- stricter warnings about potential coding problems (e.g. when using nogil)
- support for Python 2.6
- __future__ imports for unicode literals

Due to very recent changes in the Python code base, this release does not yet
compile code for Python 3.0beta1, but it's well prepared so that when 3.0beta1
finally comes out, we can provide a quick update to make your code compile
with anything from Python 2.3 to 3.0.

Have fun,
Stefan
