  to the ``configure`` script on all platforms, except on Windows which uses
  UTF-16 because of its 16-bit wchar_t.
* The ``float`` benchmark now uses ``__slots__`` on the ``Point`` class.
* Remove the following microbenchmarks. They have been moved to the
  `pymicrobench <https://github.com/vstinner/pymicrobench>`_ project because
  they are too short, not representative of real applications and are too
  unstable.

  - ``pybench`` microbenchmark suite
  - ``call_simple``
  - ``call_method``
  - ``call_method_unknown``
  - ``call_method_slots``
  - ``logging_silent``: values are faster than 1 ns on PyPy with 2^27 loops!

* If a benchmark fails, log an error, continue to execute following
  benchmarks, but exit with error code 1.

  benchmarks, reuse perf.Runner API.
* Change heuristic to create the virtual environment, tried commands:

  * ``python -m venv``
  * ``python -m virtualenv``
  * ``virtualenv -p python``

* The creation of the virtual environment now ensures that pip works
  to detect "python3 -m venv" which doesn't install pip.
* Upgrade perf dependency from 0.7.12 to 0.8.2: update all benchmarks to
  the new perf 0.8 API (which introduces incompatible changes)

* Add ``dulwich_log``: Iterate on commits of the asyncio Git repository using
  the Dulwich module. Add ``dulwich`` (and ``mpmath``) dependencies.
* Add ``pyflate``: Pyflate benchmark, tar/bzip2 decompressor in pure
  Python
* Add ``sqlite_synth`` benchmark: Benchmark Python aggregate for SQLite
* Add ``genshi`` benchmark: Render template to XML or plain text using the
  Genshi module. Add ``Genshi`` dependency.

* ``json_dumps``: add ``--cases`` command line option
* ``pidigits``: add ``--digits`` command line option
* ``raytrace``: add ``--width``, ``--height`` and ``--filename`` command line
  options
* Port ``html5lib`` benchmark to Python 3
* Enable ``pickle_pure_python`` and ``unpickle_pure_python`` on Python 3
  (code was already compatible with Python 3)
* Creating the virtual environment doesn't inherit environment variables

   - ``silent_logging`` to ``logging_silent``
   - ``simple_logging`` to ``logging_simple``
   - ``formatted_logging`` to ``logging_format``

History
-------

Projected moved to https://github.com/python/performance in August 2016. Files
reorganized, benchmarks patched to use the perf module to run benchmark in
multiple processes.

Project started in December 2008 by Collin Winter and Jeffrey Yasskin for the
Unladen Swallow project. The project was hosted at
https://hg.python.org/benchmarks until Feb 2016
