for non-MSVC compilers).
`#934 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/934>`_.
* Add basic support for tag-based static polymorphism, where classes
provide a method to returns the desired type of an instance.
`#1326 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/1326>`_.
* Added support for write only properties.
`#1144 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/1144>`_.
* The ``value()`` method of ``py::enum_`` now accepts an optional docstring
that will be shown in the documentation of the associated enumeration.
* A number of improvements related to enumerations:
1. The ``enum_`` implementation was rewritten from scratch to reduce
code bloat. Rather than instantiating a full implementation for each
enumeration, most code is now contained in a generic base class.
`#1511 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/1511>`_.
2. The ``value()`` method of ``py::enum_`` now accepts an optional
docstring that will be shown in the documentation of the associated
enumeration. `#1160 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/1160>`_.
3. check for already existing enum value and throw an error if present.
`#1453 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/1453>`_.
* added ``py::ellipsis()`` method for slicing of multidimensional NumPy arrays
`#1502 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/1502>`_.
* ``pybind11_add_module()``: allow including Python as a ``SYSTEM`` include path.
`#1416 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/1416>`_.
v2.2.4 (September 11, 2018)
-----------------------------------------------------
* Use new Python 3.7 Thread Specific Storage (TSS) implementation if available.
`#1454 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/1454>`_,
`#1517 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/1517>`_.
* Fixes for newer MSVC versions and C++17 mode.
`#1347 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/1347>`_,
`#1462 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/1462>`_.
* Propagate return value policies to type-specific casters
when casting STL containers.
`#1455 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/1455>`_.
* Allow ostream-redirection of more than 1024 characters.
`#1479 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/1479>`_.
* Set ``Py_DEBUG`` define when compiling against a debug Python build.
`#1438 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/1438>`_.
* Untangle integer logic in number type caster to work for custom
types that may only be castable to a restricted set of builtin types.
`#1442 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/1442>`_.
* CMake build system: Remember Python version in cache file.
`#1434 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/1434>`_.
* Fix for custom smart pointers: use ``std::addressof`` to obtain holder
address instead of ``operator&``.
`#1435 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/1435>`_.
* Properly report exceptions thrown during module initialization.
`#1362 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/1362>`_.
* Fixed a segmentation fault when creating empty-shaped NumPy array.
`#1371 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/1371>`_.
* The version of Intel C++ compiler must be >= 2017, and this is now checked by
the header files. `#1363 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/1363>`_.
* A few minor typo fixes and improvements to the test suite, and
patches that silence compiler warnings.
