This release contains a number of non-breaking additions and fixes since PyO3 0.16.2.
They are mostly centered on improving support for various build configurations. There are also usability tweaks to the #[pyclass] macro and a new intern! macro to create statically-backed PyString objects as an optimization technique.
Thank you to the following users for the improvements:
