- update to version 2.6.8:
* Add check to make sure that f_locals is not actually f_globals
when we do the f_locals clear to avoid the #310 memory leak issue.
* Compare NumPy versions using distutils.version.LooseVersion to
avoid issue #312 when working with NumPy development versions.
* As part of multibuild, wheels for Python 3.7 for Linux and MacOSX
are now available on PyPI.
- changes from version 2.6.7:
* Thanks to Lehman Garrison for finding and fixing a bug that
exhibited memory leak-like behavior. The use in numexpr.evaluate
of sys._getframe combined with .f_locals from that frame object
results an extra refcount on objects in the frame that calls
numexpr.evaluate, and not evaluate's frame. So if the calling
frame remains in scope for a long time (such as a procedural
script where numexpr is called from the base frame) garbage
collection would never occur.
* Imports for the numexpr.test submodule were made lazy in the
numexpr module.
