This release is an incremental improvement of refinements and optimizations following the new APIs established in PyO3's last few releases.
Support for jiff datetime conversions have been added, and also UUID conversions.
The FromPyObject derive macro has gained new #[pyo3(default = ...)] and #[pyo3(rename_all = ...)] options, and the IntoPyObject derive macro has gained a new #[pyo3(into_py_with = ...)] option.
PyO3 will now pass positional arguments to Python functions using the "vectorcall" protocol in many cases, which should be an optimization over the previous behaviour (of creating a Python tuple of positional arguments).
Many methods on iterators of Python collections have been optimized.
There are also many other incremental improvements, bug fixes and smaller features.
