===================

A small fix release fixing the passing on of generator specific arguments. This
fixes some cases where the Ninja generator was found but then was unable to
build. NetBSD was reported to work, so was added to the BSD's supported.

Bug fixes
---------

* Generator args were missing for actual compile in :pr:`975`.
* Add support for netbsd & pyodide (future) in :pr:`977`.

===================

A followup fix to the issue 0.17.3 tried to fix. We now have a method to
manually test downstream packages, too.

Bug fixes
---------

* Make sure include dir is found even if the lib is not present in :pr:`974`.

Python library is present (like on manylinux), where 0.17.2 returned None, and
previous versions returned a non-existent path. Note that adding ``REQUIRED``
to ``find_package(PythonLibs`` will fail, but it is incorrect (you must not
link to ``libPython.so``) and was really just injecting a non-existent path
before.

Bug fixes
---------

* Keep ``get_python_library`` return type string if python lib non-existing
for now in :pr:`959`.
* Avoid 'not found' warning if libs are not found by FindPythonExtensions in :pr:`960`.
* FindNumPy should not call FindPythonLibs in :pr:`958`.
