maturin 1.13.0

v1.13.0

on Rust Cargo

maturin 1.13.0 is a feature-rich release focused on better wheel generation, improved packaging workflows, and smoother cross-platform builds. This release adds new capabilities for stub generation and PGO builds, significantly improves wheel repair support on macOS and Windows, and includes a broad set of fixes for ABI tagging, source distributions, and platform-specific build behavior.

Highlights

• Added support for Profile-Guided Optimization (PGO).
• Added PyO3 stub generation support, including a new generate-stubs command and --generate-stubs build option.
• Re-implemented macOS wheel repair (delocate) and Windows wheel repair (delvewheel) in maturin, currently warn only when external shared libraries dependencies are required.
• Added support for large zip files.
• Added support for [tool.maturin.generate-ci.github] configuration.
• Improved PEP 517 compatibility by respecting metadata_directory in build_wheel.

This release also includes substantial internal refactoring across build orchestration, interpreter resolution, and command structure, plus dependency and CI updates that improve maintainability and reliability.

No major intentional breaking changes are expected, but users with custom CI or packaging setups may want to validate their workflows after upgrading.
