v2.7.0 (Jul 16, 2021)
---------------------
New features:
* Enable ``py::implicitly_convertible<py::none, ...>`` for
``py::class_``-wrapped types.
`#3059 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3059>`_
* Allow function pointer extraction from overloaded functions.
`#2944 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/2944>`_
* NumPy: added ``.char_()`` to type which gives the NumPy public ``char``
result, which also distinguishes types by bit length (unlike ``.kind()``).
`#2864 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/2864>`_
* Add ``pybind11::bytearray`` to manipulate ``bytearray`` similar to ``bytes``.
`#2799 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/2799>`_
* ``pybind11/stl/filesystem.h`` registers a type caster that, on C++17/Python
3.6+, converts ``std::filesystem::path`` to ``pathlib.Path`` and any
``os.PathLike`` to ``std::filesystem::path``.
`#2730 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/2730>`_
* A ``PYBIND11_VERSION_HEX`` define was added, similar to ``PY_VERSION_HEX``.
`#3120 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3120>`_
