0.24 Release

[davidhewitt]

It's been some time since 0.23 and we have a few breaking improvements on main which would be good to ship.

I am going to be quite busy for the next ~3 weeks and then expect to finally have more time for PyO3 again. I think at that point let's aim to ship.

I think unless there's anything which folks feel we must do, the current state of things is probably fine to release? Users might appreciate a quieter release.

Of course, if bigger things land in the meanwhile, that's fine by me too!

Hi David,

looking forward to finally upgrading from 0.21.2
I have a lot of functions using implicit defaults so i postponed it for now.
https://pyo3.rs/v0.23.4/migration.html#deprecation-of-implicit-default-for-trailing-optional-arguments

Is this still true that this will be shipped with the new release?

The implicit default was removed in #4729 which will ship in 0.24. Be aware that if you go directly from 0.21 to 0.24 you will not get any warnings or error, but the behavior will change.

Oh i think i misunderstood what "lifting this restriction" would mean. Thanks for clearing that up.
Never thought about people using option for anything but optional parameters.

If you're feeling ambitious I think at least some of the open PR backlog is probably ready to go in and just needs some reviewer time. I'll also try to help with code reviews where I can.
