For Python version 3 builds, we are introducing Python memory management. This means that all memory (de-) allocation calls are passed to the Python memory manager - whether they are issued by PyMuPDF's inface C code or issued by the base library MuDPF.
This should lead to an improved memory usage profile, because Python has complete control over all memory used. On Windows, we have also seen performance improvements (about 2% and more) for important basic use cases like text extraction and pixmap creation.

We have also worked on the new "Recipes" chapter of the documentation and removed 2 bugs occurring on Python 2 platforms only.
