Removed support for Python 2.7, Python 3.5, and MSVC 2015. Support for MSVC
2017 is limited due to availability of CI runners; we highly recommend MSVC
2019 or 2022 be used.
2019 or 2022 be used. Initial support added for Python 3.11.
New features:
* ``py::anyset`` & ``py::frozenset`` were added, with copying (cast) to
``std::set`` (similar to ``set``).
`#3901 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3901>`_
* Support bytearray casting to string.
`#3707 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3707>`_
* ``type_caster<std::monostate>`` was added. ``std::monostate`` is a tag type
that allows ``std::variant`` to act as an optional, or allows default
construction of a ``std::variant`` holding a non-default constructible type.
`#3818 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3818>`_
* Support bytearray casting to string.
`#3707 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3707>`_
* ``pybind11::capsule::set_name`` added to mutate the name of the capsule instance.
`#3866 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3866>`_
* NumPy: dtype constructor from type number added, accessors corresponding to
Python API ``dtype.num``, ``dtype.byteorder``, ``dtype.flags`` and
``dtype.alignment`` added.
`#3868 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3868>`_
Changes:
* Python 2 support was removed completely.
* Python 3.6 is now the minimum supported version.
`#3688 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3688>`_
`#3719 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3719>`_
* The minimum version for MSVC is now 2017.
`#3722 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3722>`_
* Fix issues with CPython 3.11 betas and add to supported test matrix.
`#3923 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3923>`_
* ``error_already_set`` is now safer and more performant, especially for
exceptions with long tracebacks, by delaying computation.
`#1895 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/1895>`_
* Improve exception handling in python ``str`` bindings.
`#3826 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3826>`_
* The bindings for capsules now have more consistent exception handling.
`#3825 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3825>`_
* Fix exception handling when ``pybind11::weakref()`` fails.
`#3739 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3739>`_
* ``PYBIND11_OBJECT_CVT`` and ``PYBIND11_OBJECT_CVT_DEFAULT`` macro can now be
used to define classes in namespaces other than pybind11.
`#3797 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3797>`_
* Error printing code now uses ``PYBIND11_DETAILED_ERROR_MESSAGES`` instead of
requiring ``NDEBUG``, allowing use with release builds if desired.
`#3913 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3913>`_
Bug fixes:
* ``PYBIND11_OBJECT_CVT`` and ``PYBIND11_OBJECT_CVT_DEFAULT`` macro can be used
to define classes in namespaces other than pybind11.
`#3797 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3797>`_
* Fix exception handling when ``pybind11::weakref()`` fails.
`#3739 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3739>`_
* ``module_::def_submodule`` was missing proper error handling. This is fixed now.
`#3973 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3973>`_
* The behavior or ``error_already_set`` was made safer and the highly opaque
"Unknown internal error occurred" message was replaced with a more helpful
message.
`#3982 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3982>`_
* ``error_already_set::what()`` now handles non-normalized exceptions correctly.
`#3971 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3971>`_
* Support older C++ compilers where filesystem is not yet part of the standard
library and is instead included in ``std::experimental::filesystem``.
`#3840 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3840>`_
* Fix ``-Wfree-nonheap-object`` warnings produced by GCC by avoiding returning
pointers to static objects with ``return_value_policy::take_ownership``.
`#3946 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3946>`_
* Fix cast from pytype rvalue to another pytype.
`#3949 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3949>`_
* ``pybind11::detail::get_internals()`` is now resilient to in-flight Python
exceptions.
`#3981 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3981>`_
* Arrays with a dimension of size 0 are now properly converted to dynamic Eigen
matrices (more common in NumPy 1.23).
`#4038 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4038>`_
* Avoid catching unrelated errors when importing NumPy.
`#3974 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3974>`_
Performance and style:
* Added an accessor overload of ``(object &&key)`` to reference steal the
object when using python types as keys. This prevents unnecessary reference
count overhead for attr, dictionary, tuple, and sequence look ups. Added
additional regression tests. Fixed a performance bug the caused accessor
assignments to potentially perform unnecessary copies.
`#3970 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3970>`_
* Perfect forward all args of ``make_iterator``.
`#3980 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3980>`_
* Avoid potential bug in pycapsule destructor by adding an ``error_guard`` to
one of the dtors.
`#3958 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3958>`_
* Optimize dictionary access in ``strip_padding`` for numpy.
`#3994 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3994>`_
* ``stl_bind.h`` bindings now take slice args as a const-ref.
`#3852 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3852>`_
* Made slice constructor more consistent, and improve performance of some
casters by allowing reference stealing.
`#3845 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3845>`_
* Change numpy dtype from_args method to use const ref.
`#3878 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3878>`_
* Follow rule of three to ensure ``PyErr_Restore`` is called only once.
`#3872 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3872>`_
* Added missing perfect forwarding for ``make_iterator`` functions.
`#3860 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3860>`_
* Optimize c++ to python function casting by using the rvalue caster.
`#3966 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3966>`_
* Avoid potential implicit copy/assignment constructors causing double free in
``strdup_gaurd``.
`#3905 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3905>`_
* Enable clang-tidy checks ``misc-definitions-in-headers``,
``modernize-loop-convert``, and ``modernize-use-nullptr``.

`#3947 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3947>`_
