Release 1.9.0

Fixed

• Fix some issues in the type annotations (see #163)

Performance

• improve performance and memory usage of rapidfuzz.string_metric.levenshtein_editops
  • memory usage is reduced by 10x
  • performance is improved from O(N * M) to O([N / 64] * M)

Release 1.8.3

Added

• Added missing wheels for Python3.6 on MacOs and Windows (see #159)

Release 1.8.2

Added

• Add wheels for Python 3.10 on MacOs

Release 1.8.1

Fixed

• Fix incorrect editops results (See #148)

Release 1.8.0

Changed

• Add Wheels for Python3.10 on all platforms except MacOs (see #141)
• Improve performance of string_metric.jaro_similarity and string_metric.jaro_winkler_similarity for strings with a length <= 64

Release 1.7.1

Fixed

• fixed incorrect results of fuzz.partial_ratio for long needles (see #138)

Release 1.7.0

Changed

• Added typing for process.cdist
• Added multithreading support to cdist using the argument process.cdist
• Add dtype argument to process.cdist to set the dtype of the result numpy array (see #132)
• Use a better hash collision strategy in the internal hashmap, which improves the worst case performance

Release 1.6.2

Changed

• improved performance of fuzz.ratio
• only import process.cdist when numpy is available

Release 1.6.1

Changed

• Add back wheels for Python2.7

Release 1.6.0

Changed

• fuzz.partial_ratio uses a new implementation for short needles (<= 64). This implementation is
  • more accurate than the current implementation (it is guaranteed to find the optimal alignment)
  • it is significantly faster
• Add process.cdist to compare all elements of two lists (see #51)
