Created attachment 2008795 [details] Update to 4.0.0 (#2258538)
the-new-hotness/release-monitoring.org's scratch build of mpdecimal-4.0.0-1.fc38.src.rpm for rawhide failed http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=111811735
We should assert this does not break Pythons before shipping this.
I think the 4.0.0 release probably does not break any Python versions. I have tested it against multiple Python versions and FreeBSD ports are already running all Python versions with 4.0.0. It would be nice to upgrade so Python-11 and Python-12 get the fast "z" format specifier. A couple of observations: 1) The comment about -ffat-lto-objects can be removed. ./configure should now be smart enough to handle it. 2) The prebuilt HTML docs are now in a separate package (mpdecimal-doc), because Debian had policy issues with prebuilt Sphinx docs. The regular mpdecimal-4.0.0 now contains small man pages that direct to the online HTML docs. 3) LICENSE.txt has been renamed to COPYRIGHT.txt. 4) If needed, there are a couple of new ./configure options like --disable-static. 5) pkg-config files are now automatically installed by default. 6) The tests have been pruned because some distributions complained about the run time. The long tests are now in a separate archive (mpdecimal-test). I hope the changes do not cause too much trouble. I'm happy with the release structure now and do not plan any further changes for future releases.
https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/115119 makes me believe that Python upstream is already using mpdecimal 4.0.0 at least for macOS and Windows installers. We use unblundled mpdecimal in Python 3.10+, so I guess it should be alright.
