Rapidfuzz

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Changed
~~~~~~~
* improved performance of fuzz.ratio
* only import process.cdist when numpy is available

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Changed
~~~~~~~
* Add back wheels for Python2.7

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
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)

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Fixed
~~~~~
* Fix out of bounds access in levenshtein_editops

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Changed
~~~~~~~
* all scorers do now support similarity/distance calculations between any sequence of hashables. So it is possible to calculate e.g. the WER as:
.. code-block::

>>> string_metric.levenshtein(["word1", "word2"], ["word1", "word3"])
1

Added
~~~~~
* Added type stub files for all functions
* added jaro similarity in ``string_metric.jaro_similarity``
* added jaro winkler similarity in ``string_metric.jaro_winkler_similarity``
* added Levenshtein editops in ``string_metric.levenshtein_editops``

Fixed
~~~~~
* Fixed support for set objects in ``process.extract``
* Fixed inconsistent handling of empty strings

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Performance
~~~~~~~~~~~
* improved performance of result creation in process.extract

Fixed
~~~~~
* Cython ABI stability issue (95)
* fix missing decref in case of exceptions in process.extract
