4.12.0 release

[merces]

@jonjoliver Opening up this for discussion. Any other issues on the list we should tackle before 4.12.0 release?

Hi @merces

I previously did a release which had quite a lot of fixes in it.
That release was questioned by I think 2 people who requested that changes come in smallish packages.
That way they can check the change - and merge it into their version - or reject the change as not being relevant to them.

Lets look at issues / pull requests we can put together (especially if they are related), but avoid creating a monster release.

Cheers jono

Lets create a release for 4.12.0 as it exists today - the README.md / Change_History.md / version numbers in CMakeLists.txt are consistent with the code.

Lets put the following in a 4.12.1
Remove call to sprintf() to avoid warnings #146
py_ext: use PyVarObject_HEAD instead of PyObject_HEAD_INIT #141
Build: Define default options only on "default"#138
Bug Fix+Portability: Improve portability by integral division #136

[jonjoliver]

If we agree with the 4.12.1 list then I will modify README.md / Change_History.md / version numbers in CMakeLists.txt to document that.

Sure, sounds good to me!
I've already renamed the milestone to 4.12.1 and added the PRs from your list to it. ;)

So could you make a tag of 4.12.0 or make it a released version.
