Dear community: This is a call for vote to release apache-tvm-ffi version v0.1.13. The main highlights of this release are
* Stable Python object identity — a Python wrapper now stays tied to its underlying C++ FFI object for the object's lifetime, so "a.x is a.x", stable id() across drop+refetch, and "f(x) is x" all hold — on both GIL and free-threaded (3.14t) builds. * ObjectPtr<T> as a first-class FFI type — usable in Any, typed function parameters, reflected fields, and containers, with ownership crossing Any/packed-function boundaries. * Stabilized Optional ABI — Optional (and Variant) are now backed by TVMFFIAny for a stable layout future versions can build on. This affects downstream projects that link the C++ API (e.g. TVM); the stable C ABI is unaffected. * Expanded dtype support — compact int/float/low-precision aliases, C++ helpers, and Python dtype predicates/constants including named float8 types.
