New Features

Upcoming Release:

Support for ATI CAL-based GPUs; see CorePy_CAL for more information
ExtArray now supports slicing, e.g. x[4:8]
New Memory allocator code by Mark Jeffree; used by new {acquire,release}_localstore() SPU stream methods
New implementation of extarray using Python C API instead of SWIG for improved performance
Fix incorrect operands for a few x86/x86_64 instructions
Initial iterators for x86/x86_64
New/improved load_float() and load_double() routines on x86_64
More optimal encoding for certain addressing modes on x86/x86_64
New InstructionStream.get_unique_label() method creates a unique label
InstructionStream.add_storage() supports storing key/value pairs, and retrieving values given a key with get_storage()
New routines for sending mailbox messages and signals between SPUs (mem_write_in_mbox(), mem_write_signal())
Support for changing the SPU signal mode
Communicate with an SPU via problem state when possible; improves mailbox/signal performance
Add an optional keyword argument to allow for VMX pro/epilogue code to be disabled (Thanks to Alex Holkner)
Improved CPU detection for OS X (Thanks to Alex Holkner)
Miscellaneous small bugfixes, code cleanups, and performance improvements
