This release is a soundness fix for PyO3 0.23.0 through 0.23.2.
In PyO3 0.23.0 the PYO3_CONFIG_FILE
environment variable used to configure builds regressed such that changing the environment variable would no longer trigger PyO3 to reconfigure and recompile. In combination with workflows using tools such as maturin
to build for multiple versions in a single build, this leads to Python wheels being compiled against the wrong Python API version.
All users who distribute artefacts for multiple Python versions are encouraged to update and rebuild with PyO3 0.23.3. Affected wheels produced from PyO3 0.23.0 through 0.23.2 are highly unstable and will crash the Python interpreter in unpredictable ways.
Aside from this fix, PyO3 0.23.3 contains some fixes to link configuration for Python 3.13t on Windows.
Thank you to the following contributors for the improvements:
