heyoka.py 0.19.0

[bluescarni]

This new version of heyoka.py comes with two big new features and a few fixes.

Extended-precision computations ➗

Extended-precision computations are now fully supported with an API identical to double-precision computations. A tutorial explaining this new feature is available here:

https://bluescarni.github.io/heyoka.py/notebooks/ext_precision.html

Note that, as a consequence of this new feature, heyoka.py is now more strict than it used to be with respect to type conversions, and this could result in TypeError exceptions being raised in user code after upgrading. Please see the "Breaking Changes" section in the documentation for more details and solutions:

Compiled functions 🚀

It is now possible to compile just-in-time functions defined via the heyoka.py expression system. Compiled functions provide fast function evaluation capabilities for scalar and vector arguments. A tutorial describing this new feature is available here:

Fixes 🐛

• heyoka.py now compiles without deprecation warnings against the latest versions of the fmt library
