Plaintext

=== pybindgen 0.9 ===
- Fix GCC 4.2 compilation warnings;
- Works with GCCXML 0.9/cvs (in addition to stable 0.7);
- Support for overloaded virtual methods;
- Add 'ignore' annotation support, allowing to ignore functions
and methods;
- Generally work hard to make sure the generated code at least
always compiles, even if we have to disable generation of
certain wrappers;
- Add support for protected methods and constructors;
- Preliminary support for templated classes/methods/functions;
- Add more type conversions, such as uint64_t and uint16_t;
- Support implicit conversions also for pass-by-reference parameters;
- Add supported for nested (i.e. defined inside a class) enums and classes;
- Add support for adding manually written custom method or function wrappers;
- Split the gccxmlparser.ModuleParser.parse() method into several
smaller methods, to allow greater customization and flexibility;
- Add support for customising C++ class instance creation code;
- Much improved support for wrapping pure C code;
- Lots of small bug fixes.
=== pybindgen 0.8 ===
- Support C++ instance attributes through getter/setter methods
- Support functions as methods of C++ classes
- Support the PyObject* type
- Support unsigned int, C strings (char*) (from Mark Lee)
- Add basic support for enum types
- New experimental automatic module generator based on C/C++
header file scanner and annotations in comments, using pygccxml
- Some bug fixes
=== pybindgen 0.7 ===
- Automatic C++ pointer-to-class return type narrowing
- Optionally allow subclassing in Python of certain C++ classes
- Add support for overriding C++ virtual methods in Python
- Add support for C++ namespaces
- Add support for C++ implicit conversions
- Add support for a "custodian and ward" memory management model
- Assorted bug fixes
=== pybindgen 0.6 ===
- Supports function/method/constructor overloading
- Supports automatic type narrowing on C++ class pointer return values
=== pybindgen 0.5 ===
- Support C++ class instance/static attribute setters (only
getters supported before).
=== pybindgen 0.4 ===
- Support reference counted C++ classes
- Generated code compiles with Python >= 2.3
(though Python >= 2.4 required for pybindgen itself)
- Memory leak fixes
- Add support for type transformations (for smart pointers)
- New option to prefix global declarations with a name
- Fix compilation warnings
- Add support for read-only access to C++ class attributes
(both instance and static attributes supported)
- Win32 build fixes
- Other bug fixes
=== pybindgen 0.3 ===
- Supports methods and functions with parameters of a class
type (for classes being wrapped). Pass by pointer, value, or ref
supported, with in/out/inout directions, and transfer of ownership, as
well as value/pointer class return type. Reference counted classes
not yet supported.
=== pybindgen 0.2 ===
- Supports wrapping classes, but not yet functions/methods
with class parameters;
=== pybindgen 0.1 ===
- Supports basic types, modules, and functions;
