Changelog
#########
1.8 (Not yet released)
Breaking changes queued for v2.0 (Not yet released)
---------------------------------------------------
* Redesigned virtual call mechanism and user-facing syntax (see
https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/commit/86d825f3302701d81414ddd3d38bcd09433076bc)
* Remove ``handle.call()`` method
1.9 (Not yet released)
----------------------
* Redesigned virtual call mechanism and user-facing syntax (breaking change!)
* Queued changes: ``py::eval*``, map indexing suite, documentation for indexing suites.
1.8 (June 14, 2016)
----------------------
* Redesigned CMake build system which exports a convenient
``pybind11_add_module`` function to parent projects.
* ``std::vector<>`` type bindings analogous to Boost.Python's ``indexing_suite``
* Transparent conversion of sparse and dense Eigen matrices and vectors (``eigen.h``)
* Added an ``ExtraFlags`` template argument to the NumPy ``array_t<>`` wrapper
to disable an enforced cast that may lose precision, e.g. to create overloads
for different precisions and complex vs real-valued matrices.
* Prevent implicit conversion of floating point values to integral types in
function arguments
* Transparent conversion of sparse and dense Eigen matrices and vectors
* ``std::vector<>`` type bindings analogous to Boost.Python's ``indexing_suite``
* Fixed incorrect default return value policy for functions returning a shared
pointer
* Don't allow registering a type via ``class_`` twice
@ -17,22 +32,29 @@ Changelog
* Fixed a crash in ``enum_::operator==`` that was triggered by the ``help()`` command
* Improved detection of whether or not custom C++ types can be copy/move-constructed
* Extended ``str`` type to also work with ``bytes`` instances
* Added a ``"name"_a`` user defined string literal that is equivalent to ``py::arg("name")``.
* When specifying function arguments via ``py::arg``, the test that verifies
the number of arguments now runs at compile time.
* Added ``[[noreturn]]`` attribute to ``pybind11_fail()`` to quench some
compiler warnings
* List function arguments in exception text when the dispatch code cannot find
a matching overload
* Added ``PYBIND11_OVERLOAD_NAME`` and ``PYBIND11_OVERLOAD_PURE_NAME`` macros which
can be used to override virtual methods whose name differs in C++ and Python
(e.g. ``__call__`` and ``operator()``)
* Various minor ``iterator`` and ``make_iterator()`` improvements
* Transparently support ``__bool__`` on Python 2.x and Python 3.x
* Fixed issue with destructor of unpickled object not being called
* Minor CMake build system improvements on Windows
* Many ``mkdoc.py`` improvements (enumerations, template arguments, ``DOC()``
macro accepts more arguments)
* New ``pybind11::args`` and ``pybind11::kwargs`` types to create functions which
take an arbitrary number of arguments and keyword arguments
* New syntax to call a Python function from C++ using ``*args`` and ``*kwargs``
* Added an ``ExtraFlags`` template argument to the NumPy ``array_t<>`` wrapper. This
can be used to disable an enforced cast that may lose precision
* Documentation improvements (pickling support, ``keep_alive``)
* The functions ``def_property_*`` now correctly process docstring arguments (these
formerly caused a segmentation fault)
* Many ``mkdoc.py`` improvements (enumerations, template arguments, ``DOC()``
macro accepts more arguments)
* Cygwin support
* Documentation improvements (pickling support, ``keep_alive``, macro usage)
1.7 (April 30, 2016)
