v2.12.0

• ✨ Adds support for PyPy arm64 wheels. This means that you can build PyPy wheels for Apple Silicon machines. Cross-compilation is not supported for these wheels, so you'll have to build on an Apple Silicon machine. (#1372)
• 🛠 Pinned version updates, including PyPy to v7.3.11 and setuptools to 66.0.0.

v2.11.4

• 🐛 Fix a bug that caused missing wheels on Windows when a test was skipped using CIBW_TEST_SKIP (#1377)
• 🛠 Updates CPython 3.11 to 3.11.1 (#1371)
• 🛠 Updates PyPy 3.7 to 3.7.10, except on macOS which remains on 7.3.9 due to a bug. (#1371)
• 📚 Added a reference to abi3audit to the docs (#1347)

v2.11.3

• ✨ Improves the 'build options' log output that's printed at the start of each run (#1352)
• ✨ Added a friendly error message to a common misconfiguration of the CIBW_TEST_COMMAND option - not specifying path using the {project} placeholder (#1336)
• 🛠 The GitHub Action now uses Powershell on Windows to avoid occasional incompabilities with bash (#1346)

v2.11.2

• 🛠 Updates CPython 3.11 to 3.11.0 - final release (#1327)
• 🛠 Simplify the default macOS repair command (#1322)
• 🛠 Fix the default MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET on arm64 (#1312)
• 🛠 Hide irrelevant pip warnings on linux (#1311)
• 🐛 Fix a bug that caused the stdout and stderr of commands in containers to be in the wrong order Previously, stdout could appear after stderr. (#1324)
• 📚 Added a FAQ entry describing how to perform native builds of CPython 3.8 wheels on Apple Silicon. (#1323)
• 📚 Other docs improvements

v2.11.1

• 🛠 Updates to the latest manylinux images, and updates CPython 3.10 to 3.10.8.

v2.11.0

• 🌟 Adds support for cross-compiling Windows ARM64 wheels. To use this feature, add ARM64 to the CIBW_ARCHS option on a Windows Intel runner. (#1144)
• ✨ Adds support for building Linux aarch64 wheels on Circle CI. (#1307)
• ✨ Adds support for building Windows wheels on Gitlab CI. (#1295)
• ✨ Adds support for building Linux aarch64 wheels under emulation on Gitlab CI. (#1295)
• ✨ Adds the ability to test cp38-macosx_arm64 wheels on a native arm64 runner. To do this, you'll need to preinstall the (experimental) universal2 version of CPython 3.8 on your arm64 runner before invoking cibuildwheel. Note: it is not recommended to build x86_64 wheels with this setup, your wheels will have limited compatibility wrt macOS versions. (#1283)
• 🛠 Improved error messages when using custom Docker images and Python cannot be found at the correct path. (#1298)
• 📚 Sample configs for Azure Pipelines and Travis CI updated (#1296)
• 📚 Other docs improvements - including more information about using Homebrew for build dependencies (#1290)

v2.10.2

• 🐛 Fix a bug that caused win32 identifiers to fail when used with --only. (#1282)
• 🐛 Fix computation of auto/auto64/auto32 archs when targeting a different platform to the one that you're running cibuildwheel on. (#1266)
• 📚 Fix an mistake in the 'how it works' diagram. (#1274)

v2.10.1

• 🐛 Fix a bug that stopped environment variables specified in TOML from being expanded. (#1273)

v2.10.0

• 🌟 Adds support for building wheels on Cirrus CI. This is exciting for us, as it's the first public CI platform that natively supports macOS Apple Silicon (aka. M1, arm64) runners. As such, it's the first platform that you can natively build and test macOS arm64 wheels. It also has native Linux ARM (aarch64) runners, for fast, native builds there. (#1191)
• 🌟 Adds support for running cibuildwheel on Apple Silicon machines. For a while, we've supported cross-compilation of Apple Silicon wheels on x86_64, but now that we have Cirrus CI we can run our test suite and officially support running cibuildwheel on arm64. (#1191)
• ✨ Adds the --only command line option, to specify a single build to run. Previously, it could be cumbersome to set all the build selection options to target a specific build - for example, you might have to run something like CIBW_BUILD=cp39-manylinux_x86_64 cibuildwheel --platform linux --archs x86_64. The new --only option overrides all the build selection options to simplify running a single build, which now looks like cibuildwheel --only cp39-manylinux_x86_64. (#1098)
• ✨ Adds the CIBW_CONFIG_SETTINGS option, so you can pass arguments to your package's build backend (#1244)
• 🛠 Updates the CPython 3.11 version to the latest release candidate - v3.11.0rc2. (#1265)
• 🐛 Fix a bug that can cause a RecursionError on Windows when building from an sdist. (#1253)
• 🛠 Add support for the s390x architecture on manylinux_2_28 (#1255)

v2.9.0

• 🌟 CPython 3.11 wheels are now built by default - without the CIBW_PRERELEASE_PYTHONS flag. It's time to build and upload these wheels to PyPI! This release includes CPython 3.11.0rc1, which is guaranteed to be ABI compatible with the final release. (#1226)
• ⚠️ Removed support for running cibuildwheel in Python 3.6. Python 3.6 is EOL. However, cibuildwheel continues to build CPython 3.6 wheels for the moment. (#1175)
• ✨ Improved error messages when misspelling TOML options, suggesting close matches (#1205)
• 🛠 When running on Apple Silicon (so far, an unsupported mode of operation), cibuildwheel no longer builds universal2 wheels by default - just arm64. See #1204 for discussion. We hope to release official support for native builds on Apple Silicon soon! (#1217)
