✨ You can now run cibuildwheel on Podman, as an alternate container engine to Docker (which remains the default). This is useful in environments where a Docker daemon isn't available, for example, it can be run inside a Docker container, or without root access. To use Podman, set the
CIBW_CONTAINER_ENGINEoption. (#966) -
✨ Adds support for building
py3-none-{platform}wheels. This works the same as ABI3 - wheels won't be rebuilt, but tests will still be run across all selected versions of Python.These wheels contain native extension code, but don't use the Python APIs. Typically, they're bridged to Python using a FFI module like ctypes or cffi. Because they don't use Python ABI, the wheels are more compatible - they work across many Python versions.
Check out this example ctypes project to see an example of how it works. (#1151)

🛠 cibuildwheel will now error if multiple builds in a single run produce the same wheel filename, as this indicates a misconfiguration. (#1152)
