Amazing to read that most comments here are about broken build dependencies. I completely get the frustration, but somewhat sad to see that there's not that much talk about the actual improvements.

There seem to be a lot of cool things in this. For example, semantics for division, power operator, print, classes, types and subscripting are now identical with Python 3. https://cython.readthedocs.io/en/latest/src/changes.html#imp...

Improved interaction with numpy by moving that part of the code into numpy itself: https://cython.readthedocs.io/en/latest/src/changes.html#int...

Improved support for const and volatile in C, and improved support for C++ expressions like std::move https://cython.readthedocs.io/en/latest/src/changes.html#id6

I love how the changelog also shows the bugfixes and improvements that each of these changes enabled. Hats off to the team behind this release.
