1.5.8

Fixes:

• Changed CI build configuration, so that auditwheel no longer puts a copy of libasound in the Linux binary wheels - overriding the system libasound - which prevented the _rtmidi extension module shared library from being loaded on systems, where the ALSA plugin library path is not /usr/lib64/alsa-lib, specifically on Debian-based distros. (#190)
• Replace pip with python -m pip everywhere in in the installation documentation and fixed some minor typos .

Changes:

• Removed obsolete Python 2 compatibility code in the _rtmidi module and references to Python 2 unicode type in its docstrings.

Downloads:

Please use the source distribution archive and the pre-compiled binary wheels provided on python-rtmidi's PyPI page:

1.5.7

Project infrastructure:

• Enabled CI builds for Python 3.12 (#182).
  • Updated cibuildwheel version used by CI to 2.16.
  • Added Python 3.12 to meta-data classifiers in pyproject.toml.
  • Added Python 3.12 to tox.ini, removed Python 3.7.
  • Only use custom meson install script to byte-compile installed Python modules if meson version <= 1.2.0.
  • Updated latest Python version mentioned in windows install docs.
• Updated requirements-dev.txt with pip-compile (#183).

Fixes:

• Fixed linting errors in send_all.py example (#184).

• Fixed (no)gil/except declarations on MIDI in callback and MidiOut.sendMessage (#185).

  The GIL is acquired in any case for MIDI in callback and C++ sendMessage call, since Cython needs to check for exceptions.

  Suppress related Cython compilation performance hints.

  Also remove wrong statement about the GIL being released in docstring for send_message.

• Fixed errors and check for empty message correctly when passing an iter- or generator instead of a sequence to MidiOut.send_message (#186, #188).

1.5.6

Fixes:

• Fixed building with meson-python >= 0.14.0 (#177).

1.5.5

Fixes:

• Fixed Cython compilation errors and warnings (#174)

Project infrastructure:

• Updated requirements-dev.txt with pip-compile (#173).
• Updated minimum Python version declared in pyproject.toml to 3.8.

Documentation:

• Updated minimum Python version (3.8) stated in readme and docstring.
