#########
|
||
|
||
Starting with version 1.8.0, pybind11 releases use a `semantic versioning
|
||
<http://semver.org>`_ policy.
|
||
|
||
|
||
v2.6.2 (Jan 26, 2021)
|
||
---------------------
|
||
|
||
|
||
Minor missing functionality added:
|
||
|
||
* enum: add missing Enum.value property.
|
||
`#2739 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/2739>`_
|
||
|
||
* Allow thread termination to be avoided during shutdown for CPython 3.7+ via
|
||
``.disarm`` for ``gil_scoped_acquire``/``gil_scoped_release``.
|
||
`#2657 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/2657>`_
|
||
|
||
|
||
Build improvements:
|
||
|
||
* Setup helpers: ``extra_compile_args`` and ``extra_link_args`` automatically set by
|
||
Pybind11Extension are now prepended, which allows them to be overridden
|
||
by user-set ``extra_compile_args`` and ``extra_link_args``.
|
||
`#2808 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/2808>`_
|
||
|
||
* Setup helpers: Don't trigger unused parameter warning.
|
||
`#2735 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/2735>`_
|
||
|
||
* CMake: Support running with ``--warn-uninitialized`` active.
|
||
`#2806 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/2806>`_
|
||
|
||
* CMake: Avoid error if included from two submodule directories.
|
||
`#2804 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/2804>`_
|
||
|
||
* CMake: Fix ``STATIC`` / ``SHARED`` being ignored in FindPython mode.
|
||
`#2796 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/2796>`_
|
||
|
||
* CMake: Respect the setting for ``CMAKE_CXX_VISIBILITY_PRESET`` if defined.
|
||
`#2793 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/2793>`_
|
||
|
||
* CMake: Fix issue with FindPython2/FindPython3 not working with ``pybind11::embed``.
|
||
`#2662 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/2662>`_
|
||
|
||
* CMake: mixing local and installed pybind11's would prioritize the installed
|
||
one over the local one (regression in 2.6.0).
|
||
`#2716 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/2716>`_
|
||
|
||
|
||
Bug fixes:
|
||
|
||
* Fix invalid access when calling a pybind11 ``__init__`` on a non-pybind11
|
||
class instance.
|
||
`#2755 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/2755>`_
|
||
|
||
* The ``type_caster`` for integers does not convert Python objects with
|
||
``__int__`` anymore with ``noconvert`` or during the first round of trying
|
||
overloads.
|
||
`#2698 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/2698>`_
|
||
|
||
* When casting to a C++ integer, ``__index__`` is always called and not
|
||
considered as conversion, consistent with Python 3.8+.
|
||
`#2801 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/2801>`_
|
||
|
||
* Fix bug where the constructor of ``object`` subclasses would not throw on
|
||
being passed a Python object of the wrong type.
|
||
`#2701 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/2701>`_
|
||
|
||
* Fixed segfault in multithreaded environments when using
|
||
``scoped_ostream_redirect``.
|
||
`#2675 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/2675>`_
|
||
|
||
* Leave docstring unset when all docstring-related options are disabled, rather
|
||
than set an empty string.
|
||
`#2745 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/2745>`_
|
||
|
||
* The module key in builtins that pybind11 uses to store its internals changed
|
||
from std::string to a python str type (more natural on Python 2, no change on
|
||
Python 3).
|
||
`#2814 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/2814>`_
|
||
|
||
* Fixed assertion error related to unhandled (later overwritten) exception in
|
||
CPython 3.8 and 3.9 debug builds.
|
||
`#2685 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/2685>`_
|
||
|
||
* Fix ``py::gil_scoped_acquire`` assert with CPython 3.9 debug build.
|
||
`#2683 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/2683>`_
|
||
|
||
* Fix issue with a test failing on PyTest 6.2.
|
||
`#2741 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/2741>`_
|
||
|
||
Warning fixes:
|
||
|
||
* Fix warning modifying constructor parameter 'flag' that shadows a field of
|
||
'set_flag' ``[-Wshadow-field-in-constructor-modified]``.
|
||
`#2780 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/2780>`_
|
||
|
||
* Suppressed some deprecation warnings about old-style
|
||
``__init__``/``__setstate__`` in the tests.
|
||
`#2759 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/2759>`_
|
||
|
||
Valgrind work:
|
||
|
||
* Fixed various minor memory leaks in pybind11's test suite.
|
||
`#2758 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/2758>`_
|
||
|
||
* Resolved memory leak in cpp_function initialization when exceptions occurred.
|
||
`#2756 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/2756>`_
|
||
|
||
* Added a Valgrind build, checking for leaks and memory-related UB, to CI.
|
||
`#2746 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/2746>`_
|
||
|
||
Compiler support:
|
||
|
||
* Intel compiler was not activating C++14 support due to a broken define.
|
||
`#2679 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/2679>`_
|
||
|
||
* Support ICC and NVIDIA HPC SDK in C++17 mode.
|
||
`#2729 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/2729>`_
|
||
|
||
* Support Intel OneAPI compiler (ICC 20.2) and add to CI.
|
||
`#2573 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/2573>`_
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
v2.6.1 (Nov 11, 2020)
|
||
---------------------
|
||
|
||
* ``py::exec``, ``py::eval``, and ``py::eval_file`` now add the builtins module
|
||
as ``"__builtins__"`` to their ``globals`` argument, better matching ``exec``
|
||
and ``eval`` in pure Python.
|
||
`#2616 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/2616>`_
|
||
|
||
* ``setup_helpers`` will no longer set a minimum macOS version higher than the
|
||
current version.
|
||
`#2622 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/2622>`_
|
||
|
||
* Allow deleting static properties.
|
||
`#2629 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/2629>`_
|
||
|
||
* Seal a leak in ``def_buffer``, cleaning up the ``capture`` object after the
|
||
``class_`` object goes out of scope.
|
||
`#2634 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/2634>`_
|
||
|
||
* ``pybind11_INCLUDE_DIRS`` was incorrect, potentially causing a regression if
|
||
it was expected to include ``PYTHON_INCLUDE_DIRS`` (please use targets
|
||
instead).
|
||
`#2636 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/2636>`_
|
||
|
||
* Added parameter names to the ``py::enum_`` constructor and methods, avoiding
|
||
``arg0`` in the generated docstrings.
|
||
`#2637 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/2637>`_
|
||
|
||
* Added ``needs_recompile`` optional function to the ``ParallelCompiler``
|
||
helper, to allow a recompile to be skipped based on a user-defined function.
|
||
`#2643 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/2643>`_
|
||
|
||
|
||
v2.6.0 (Oct 21, 2020)
|
||
---------------------
|
||
|
||
See :ref:`upgrade-guide-2.6` for help upgrading to the new version.
|
||
|
||
New features:
|
||
|
||
* Keyword-only arguments supported in Python 2 or 3 with ``py::kw_only()``.
|
||
`#2100 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/2100>`_
|
||
|
||
* Positional-only arguments supported in Python 2 or 3 with ``py::pos_only()``.
|
||
`#2459 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/2459>`_
|
||
|
||
* ``py::is_final()`` class modifier to block subclassing (CPython only).
|
||
`#2151 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/2151>`_
|
||
|
||
* Added ``py::prepend()``, allowing a function to be placed at the beginning of
|
||
the overload chain.
|
||
`#1131 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/1131>`_
|
||
|
||
* Access to the type object now provided with ``py::type::of<T>()`` and
|
||
``py::type::of(h)``.
|
||
`#2364 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/2364>`_
|
||
|
||
* Perfect forwarding support for methods.
|
||
`#2048 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/2048>`_
|
||
|
||
* Added ``py::error_already_set::discard_as_unraisable()``.
|
||
`#2372 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/2372>`_
|
||
|
||
* ``py::hash`` is now public.
|
||
`#2217 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/2217>`_
|
||
|
||
* ``py::class_<union_type>`` is now supported. Note that writing to one data
|
||
member of the union and reading another (type punning) is UB in C++. Thus
|
||
pybind11-bound enums should never be used for such conversions.
|
||
`#2320 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/2320>`_.
|
||
|
||
* Classes now check local scope when registering members, allowing a subclass
|
||
to have a member with the same name as a parent (such as an enum).
|
||
`#2335 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/2335>`_
|
||
|
||
Code correctness features:
|
||
|
||
* Error now thrown when ``__init__`` is forgotten on subclasses.
|
||
`#2152 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/2152>`_
|
||
|
||
* Throw error if conversion to a pybind11 type if the Python object isn't a
|
||
valid instance of that type, such as ``py::bytes(o)`` when ``py::object o``
|
||
isn't a bytes instance.
|
||
`#2349 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/2349>`_
|
||
|
||
* Throw if conversion to ``str`` fails.
|
||
`#2477 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/2477>`_
|
||
|
||
|
||
API changes:
|
||
|
||
* ``py::module`` was renamed ``py::module_`` to avoid issues with C++20 when
|
||
used unqualified, but an alias ``py::module`` is provided for backward
|
||
compatibility.
|
||
`#2489 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/2489>`_
|
||
|
||
* Public constructors for ``py::module_`` have been deprecated; please use
|
||
``pybind11::module_::create_extension_module`` if you were using the public
|
||
constructor (fairly rare after ``PYBIND11_MODULE`` was introduced).
|
||
`#2552 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/2552>`_
|
||
|
||
* ``PYBIND11_OVERLOAD*`` macros and ``get_overload`` function replaced by
|
||
correctly-named ``PYBIND11_OVERRIDE*`` and ``get_override``, fixing
|
||
inconsistencies in the presence of a closing ``;`` in these macros.
|
||
``get_type_overload`` is deprecated.
|
||
`#2325 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/2325>`_
|
||
|
||
Packaging / building improvements:
|
||
|
||
* The Python package was reworked to be more powerful and useful.
|
||
`#2433 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/2433>`_
|
||
|
||
* :ref:`build-setuptools` is easier thanks to a new
|
||
``pybind11.setup_helpers`` module, which provides utilities to use
|
||
setuptools with pybind11. It can be used via PEP 518, ``setup_requires``,
|
||
or by directly importing or copying ``setup_helpers.py`` into your project.
|
||
|
||
* CMake configuration files are now included in the Python package. Use
|
||
``pybind11.get_cmake_dir()`` or ``python -m pybind11 --cmakedir`` to get
|
||
the directory with the CMake configuration files, or include the
|
||
site-packages location in your ``CMAKE_MODULE_PATH``. Or you can use the
|
||
new ``pybind11[global]`` extra when you install ``pybind11``, which
|
||
installs the CMake files and headers into your base environment in the
|
||
standard location.
|
||
|
||
* ``pybind11-config`` is another way to write ``python -m pybind11`` if you
|
||
have your PATH set up.
|
||
|
||
* Added external typing support to the helper module, code from
|
||
``import pybind11`` can now be type checked.
|
||
`#2588 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/2588>`_
|
||
|
||
* Minimum CMake required increased to 3.4.
|
||
`#2338 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/2338>`_ and
|
||
`#2370 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/2370>`_
|
||
|
||
* Full integration with CMake’s C++ standard system and compile features
|
||
replaces ``PYBIND11_CPP_STANDARD``.
|
||
|
||
* Generated config file is now portable to different Python/compiler/CMake
|
||
versions.
|
||
|
||
* Virtual environments prioritized if ``PYTHON_EXECUTABLE`` is not set
|
||
(``venv``, ``virtualenv``, and ``conda``) (similar to the new FindPython
|
||
mode).
|
||
|
||
* Other CMake features now natively supported, like
|
||
``CMAKE_INTERPROCEDURAL_OPTIMIZATION``, ``set(CMAKE_CXX_VISIBILITY_PRESET
|
||
hidden)``.
|
||
|
||
* ``CUDA`` as a language is now supported.
|
||
|
||
* Helper functions ``pybind11_strip``, ``pybind11_extension``,
|
||
``pybind11_find_import`` added, see :doc:`cmake/index`.
|
||
|
||
* Optional :ref:`find-python-mode` and :ref:`nopython-mode` with CMake.
|
||
`#2370 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/2370>`_
|
||
|
||
* Uninstall target added.
|
||
`#2265 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/2265>`_ and
|
||
`#2346 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/2346>`_
|
||
|
||
* ``pybind11_add_module()`` now accepts an optional ``OPT_SIZE`` flag that
|
||
switches the binding target to size-based optimization if the global build
|
||
type can not always be fixed to ``MinSizeRel`` (except in debug mode, where
|
||
optimizations remain disabled). ``MinSizeRel`` or this flag reduces binary
|
||
size quite substantially (~25% on some platforms).
|
||
`#2463 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/2463>`_
|
||
|
||
Smaller or developer focused features and fixes:
|
||
|
||
* Moved ``mkdoc.py`` to a new repo, `pybind11-mkdoc`_. There are no longer
|
||
submodules in the main repo.
|
||
|
||
* ``py::memoryview`` segfault fix and update, with new
|
||
``py::memoryview::from_memory`` in Python 3, and documentation.
|
||
`#2223 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/2223>`_
|
||
|
||
* Fix for ``buffer_info`` on Python 2.
|
||
`#2503 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/2503>`_
|
||
|
||
* If ``__eq__`` defined but not ``__hash__``, ``__hash__`` is now set to
|
||
``None``.
|
||
`#2291 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/2291>`_
|
||
|
||
* ``py::ellipsis`` now also works on Python 2.
|
||
`#2360 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/2360>`_
|
||
|
||
* Pointer to ``std::tuple`` & ``std::pair`` supported in cast.
|
||
`#2334 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/2334>`_
|
||
|
||
* Small fixes in NumPy support. ``py::array`` now uses ``py::ssize_t`` as first
|
||
argument type.
|
||
`#2293 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/2293>`_
|
||
|
||
* Added missing signature for ``py::array``.
|
||
`#2363 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/2363>`_
|
||
|
||
* ``unchecked_mutable_reference`` has access to operator ``()`` and ``[]`` when
|
||
const.
|
||
`#2514 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/2514>`_
|
||
|
||
* ``py::vectorize`` is now supported on functions that return void.
|
||
`#1969 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/1969>`_
|
||
|
||
* ``py::capsule`` supports ``get_pointer`` and ``set_pointer``.
|
||
`#1131 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/1131>`_
|
||
|
||
* Fix crash when different instances share the same pointer of the same type.
|
||
`#2252 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/2252>`_
|
||
|
||
* Fix for ``py::len`` not clearing Python's error state when it fails and throws.
|
||
`#2575 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/2575>`_
|
||
|
||
* Bugfixes related to more extensive testing, new GitHub Actions CI.
|
||
`#2321 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/2321>`_
|
||
|
||
* Bug in timezone issue in Eastern hemisphere midnight fixed.
|
||
`#2438 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/2438>`_
|
||
|
||

|
||
the system.
|
||
`#2481 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/2481>`_

|
||
requested ordering.
|
||
`#2484 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/2484>`_
|
||
|
||
* Avoid a segfault on some compilers when types are removed in Python.
|
||
`#2564 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/2564>`_
|
||
|
||
* ``py::arg::none()`` is now also respected when passing keyword arguments.
|
||
`#2611 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/2611>`_
|
||
|
||
* PyPy fixes, PyPy 7.3.x now supported, including PyPy3. (Known issue with
|
||
PyPy2 and Windows `#2596 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/issues/2596>`_).

v2.5.0 (Mar 31, 2020)
|
||
-----------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
* Use C++17 fold expressions in type casters, if available. This can
|
||
improve performance during overload resolution when functions have
|
||
multiple arguments.
|
||
`#2043 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/2043>`_.
|
||
|
||
* Changed include directory resolution in ``pybind11/__init__.py``
|
||
and installation in ``setup.py``. This fixes a number of open issues
|
||
where pybind11 headers could not be found in certain environments.
|
||
`#1995 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/1995>`_.
|
||
|
||

|
||
<https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/2074>`_.
|
||
|
||
* Read-only flag for ``py::buffer``. `#1466
|
||
<https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/1466>`_.
|
||
|
||
* Exception handling during module initialization.

||
`bf2b031 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/commit/bf2b031>`_.
|
||
|
||
* Support linking against a CPython debug build.
|
||
`#2025 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/2025>`_.
|
||
|
||
* Fixed issues involving the availability and use of aligned ``new`` and
|
||
``delete``. `#1988 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/1988>`_,

|
||
|
||
v2.4.3 (Oct 15, 2019)
|
||
-----------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
* Adapt pybind11 to a C API convention change in Python 3.8. `#1950
|
||
<https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/1950>`_.
|
||
|
||
v2.4.2 (Sep 21, 2019)
|
||
-----------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
* Replaced usage of a C++14 only construct. `#1929
|
||
<https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/1929>`_.
|

|
||
<https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/commit/f3109d>`_.
|
||
|
||
v2.4.1 (Sep 20, 2019)
|
||
-----------------------------------------------------

|
||
on Python 3.8. `#1780 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/1780>`_.
|
||
|
||
v2.4.0 (Sep 19, 2019)
|
||
-----------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
* Try harder to keep pybind11-internal data structures separate when there
|
||
are potential ABI incompatibilities. Fixes crashes that occurred when loading
|
||
multiple pybind11 extensions that were e.g. compiled by GCC (libstdc++)
|
||
and Clang (libc++).
|
||
`#1588 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/1588>`_ and
|
||
`c9f5a <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/commit/c9f5a>`_.
|
||
|
||
* Added support for ``__await__``, ``__aiter__``, and ``__anext__`` protocols.
|
||
`#1842 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/1842>`_.

|
||
``RelWithDebInfo`` mode. `#1980
|
||
<https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/1980>`_.
|
||
|
||
* ``enum_``: Reproduce Python behavior when comparing against invalid values

`#1887 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/1887>`_,
|
||
`#1884 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/1884>`_,
|
||
`#1888 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/1888>`_.
|
||
|
||
* ``py::details::overload_cast_impl`` is available in C++11 mode, can be used
|
||
like ``overload_cast`` with an additional set of parantheses.
|

|
||
|
||
v2.3.0 (June 11, 2019)
|
||
-----------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
* Significantly reduced module binary size (10-20%) when compiled in C++11 mode
|
||
with GCC/Clang, or in any mode with MSVC. Function signatures are now always
|
||
precomputed at compile time (this was previously only available in C++14 mode
|
||
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>`_.
|
||
|
||
* Python type wrappers (``py::handle``, ``py::object``, etc.)
|
||
now support map Python's number protocol onto C++ arithmetic
|
||
operators such as ``operator+``, ``operator/=``, etc.
|
||
`#1511 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/1511>`_.
|
||
|
||
* 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>`_.
|
||
|
||
* Support for over-aligned type allocation via C++17's aligned ``new``
|
||
statement. `#1582 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/1582>`_.
|
||
|
||
* Added ``py::ellipsis()`` method for slicing of multidimensional NumPy arrays
|
||
`#1502 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/1502>`_.
|
||
|
||
* Numerous Improvements to the ``mkdoc.py`` script for extracting documentation
|
||
from C++ header files.
|
||
`#1788 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/1788>`_.
|
||
|
||
* ``pybind11_add_module()``: allow including Python as a ``SYSTEM`` include path.
|
||
`#1416 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/1416>`_.
|
||
|
||
* ``pybind11/stl.h`` does not convert strings to ``vector<string>`` anymore.
|
||
`#1258 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/issues/1258>`_.
|
||
|
||
* Mark static methods as such to fix auto-generated Sphinx documentation.
|
||
`#1732 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/1732>`_.
|
||
|
||
* Re-throw forced unwind exceptions (e.g. during pthread termination).
|
||
`#1208 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/1208>`_.
|
||
|
||
* Added ``__contains__`` method to the bindings of maps (``std::map``,
|
||
``std::unordered_map``).
|
||
`#1767 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/1767>`_.
|
||
|
||
* Improvements to ``gil_scoped_acquire``.
|
||
`#1211 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/1211>`_.
|
||
|
||
* Type caster support for ``std::deque<T>``.
|
||
`#1609 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/1609>`_.
|
||
|
||
* Support for ``std::unique_ptr`` holders, whose deleters differ between a base and derived
|
||
class. `#1353 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/1353>`_.
|
||
|
||
* Construction of STL array/vector-like data structures from
|
||
iterators. Added an ``extend()`` operation.
|
||
`#1709 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/1709>`_,
|
||
|
||
* CMake build system improvements for projects that include non-C++
|
||
files (e.g. plain C, CUDA) in ``pybind11_add_module`` et al.
|
||
`#1678 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/1678>`_.
|
||
|
||
* Fixed asynchronous invocation and deallocation of Python functions
|
||
wrapped in ``std::function``.
|
||
`#1595 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/1595>`_.
|
||
|
||
* Fixes regarding return value policy propagation in STL type casters.
|
||
`#1603 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/1603>`_.
|
||
|
||
* Fixed scoped enum comparisons.
|
||

|
||
|
||
* Fixed iostream redirection for code that releases the GIL.
|
||
`#1368 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/1368>`_,
|
||
|
||
* A number of CI-related fixes.
|
||
`#1757 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/1757>`_,

|
||
|
||
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>`_,
|
||

`#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.
|
||
|
||
* Vectors now support construction from generators, as well as ``extend()`` from a
|
||
list or generator.
|
||
`#1496 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/1496>`_.
|
||
|
||
|
||
v2.2.3 (April 29, 2018)
|
||
-----------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
* The pybind11 header location detection was replaced by a new implementation
|
||
that no longer depends on ``pip`` internals (the recently released ``pip``
|
||
10 has restricted access to this API).
|
||
`#1190 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/1190>`_.
|
||
|
||
* Small adjustment to an implementation detail to work around a compiler segmentation fault in Clang 3.3/3.4.
|
||
`#1350 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/1350>`_.
|
||
|
||
* The minimal supported version of the Intel compiler was >= 17.0 since
|
||
pybind11 v2.1. This check is now explicit, and a compile-time error is raised
|
||
if the compiler meet the requirement.
|
||
`#1363 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/1363>`_.
|
||
|
||
* Fixed an endianness-related fault in the test suite.
|
||
`#1287 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/1287>`_.
|
||
|
||
v2.2.2 (February 7, 2018)
|
||
-----------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
* Fixed a segfault when combining embedded interpreter
|
||
shutdown/reinitialization with external loaded pybind11 modules.
|
||
`#1092 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/1092>`_.
|
||
|
||
* Eigen support: fixed a bug where Nx1/1xN numpy inputs couldn't be passed as
|
||
arguments to Eigen vectors (which for Eigen are simply compile-time fixed
|
||
Nx1/1xN matrices).
|
||
`#1106 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/1106>`_.
|
||
|
||
* Clarified to license by moving the licensing of contributions from
|
||
``LICENSE`` into ``CONTRIBUTING.md``: the licensing of contributions is not
|
||
actually part of the software license as distributed. This isn't meant to be
|
||
a substantial change in the licensing of the project, but addresses concerns
|
||
that the clause made the license non-standard.
|
||
`#1109 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/issues/1109>`_.
|
||
|
||
* Fixed a regression introduced in 2.1 that broke binding functions with lvalue
|
||
character literal arguments.
|
||
`#1128 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/1128>`_.
|
||
|
||
* MSVC: fix for compilation failures under /permissive-, and added the flag to
|
||
the appveyor test suite.
|
||
`#1155 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/1155>`_.
|
||
|
||
* Fixed ``__qualname__`` generation, and in turn, fixes how class names
|
||
(especially nested class names) are shown in generated docstrings.
|
||
`#1171 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/1171>`_.
|
||
|
||
* Updated the FAQ with a suggested project citation reference.
|
||
`#1189 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/1189>`_.
|
||
|
||
* Added fixes for deprecation warnings when compiled under C++17 with
|
||
``-Wdeprecated`` turned on, and add ``-Wdeprecated`` to the test suite
|
||
compilation flags.
|
||
`#1191 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/1191>`_.
|
||
|
||
* Fixed outdated PyPI URLs in ``setup.py``.
|
||
`#1213 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/1213>`_.
|
||
|
||
* Fixed a refcount leak for arguments that end up in a ``py::args`` argument
|
||
for functions with both fixed positional and ``py::args`` arguments.
|
||
`#1216 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/1216>`_.
|
||
|
||
* Fixed a potential segfault resulting from possible premature destruction of
|
||
``py::args``/``py::kwargs`` arguments with overloaded functions.
|
||
`#1223 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/1223>`_.
|
||
|
||
* Fixed ``del map[item]`` for a ``stl_bind.h`` bound stl map.
|
||
`#1229 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/1229>`_.
|
||
|
||
* Fixed a regression from v2.1.x where the aggregate initialization could
|
||
unintentionally end up at a constructor taking a templated
|
||
``std::initializer_list<T>`` argument.
|
||
`#1249 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/1249>`_.
|
||
|
||
* Fixed an issue where calling a function with a keep_alive policy on the same
|
||
nurse/patient pair would cause the internal patient storage to needlessly
|
||
grow (unboundedly, if the nurse is long-lived).
|
||
`#1251 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/issues/1251>`_.
|
||
|
||
* Various other minor fixes.
|
||
|
||
v2.2.1 (September 14, 2017)
|
||
-----------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
* Added ``py::module_::reload()`` member function for reloading a module.
|
||
`#1040 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/1040>`_.
|
||
|
||
* Fixed a reference leak in the number converter.
|
||
`#1078 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/1078>`_.
|
||
|
||
* Fixed compilation with Clang on host GCC < 5 (old libstdc++ which isn't fully
|
||
C++11 compliant). `#1062 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/1062>`_.
|
||
|
||
* Fixed a regression where the automatic ``std::vector<bool>`` caster would
|
||
fail to compile. The same fix also applies to any container which returns
|
||
element proxies instead of references.
|
||
`#1053 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/1053>`_.
|
||
|
||
* Fixed a regression where the ``py::keep_alive`` policy could not be applied
|
||
to constructors. `#1065 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/1065>`_.
|
||
|
||
* Fixed a nullptr dereference when loading a ``py::module_local`` type
|
||
that's only registered in an external module.
|
||
`#1058 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/1058>`_.
|
||
|
||
* Fixed implicit conversion of accessors to types derived from ``py::object``.
|
||
`#1076 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/1076>`_.
|
||
|
||
* The ``name`` in ``PYBIND11_MODULE(name, variable)`` can now be a macro.
|
||
`#1082 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/1082>`_.
|
||
|
||
* Relaxed overly strict ``py::pickle()`` check for matching get and set types.
|
||
`#1064 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/1064>`_.
|
||
|
||
* Conversion errors now try to be more informative when it's likely that
|
||
a missing header is the cause (e.g. forgetting ``<pybind11/stl.h>``).
|
||
`#1077 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/1077>`_.
|
||
|
||
v2.2.0 (August 31, 2017)
|
||
-----------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
* Support for embedding the Python interpreter. See the
|
||
:doc:`documentation page </advanced/embedding>` for a
|
||
full overview of the new features.
|
||
`#774 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/774>`_,
|
||
`#889 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/889>`_,
|
||
`#892 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/892>`_,
|
||
`#920 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/920>`_.
|
||
|
||
.. code-block:: cpp
|
||
|
||
#include <pybind11/embed.h>
|
||
namespace py = pybind11;
|
||
|
||
int main() {
|
||
py::scoped_interpreter guard{}; // start the interpreter and keep it alive
|
||
|
||
py::print("Hello, World!"); // use the Python API
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
* Support for inheriting from multiple C++ bases in Python.
|
||
`#693 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/693>`_.
|
||
|
||
.. code-block:: python
|
||
|
||
from cpp_module import CppBase1, CppBase2
|
||
|
||
class PyDerived(CppBase1, CppBase2):
|
||
def __init__(self):
|
||
CppBase1.__init__(self) # C++ bases must be initialized explicitly
|
||
CppBase2.__init__(self)
|
||
|
||
* ``PYBIND11_MODULE`` is now the preferred way to create module entry points.
|
||
``PYBIND11_PLUGIN`` is deprecated. See :ref:`macros` for details.
|
||
`#879 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/879>`_.
|
||
|
||
.. code-block:: cpp
|
||
|
||
// new
|
||
PYBIND11_MODULE(example, m) {
|
||
m.def("add", [](int a, int b) { return a + b; });
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
// old
|
||
PYBIND11_PLUGIN(example) {
|
||
py::module m("example");
|
||
m.def("add", [](int a, int b) { return a + b; });
|
||
return m.ptr();
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
* pybind11's headers and build system now more strictly enforce hidden symbol
|
||
visibility for extension modules. This should be seamless for most users,
|
||
but see the :doc:`upgrade` if you use a custom build system.
|
||
`#995 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/995>`_.
|
||
|
||
* Support for ``py::module_local`` types which allow multiple modules to
|
||
export the same C++ types without conflicts. This is useful for opaque
|
||
types like ``std::vector<int>``. ``py::bind_vector`` and ``py::bind_map``
|
||
now default to ``py::module_local`` if their elements are builtins or
|
||
local types. See :ref:`module_local` for details.
|
||
`#949 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/949>`_,
|
||
`#981 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/981>`_,
|
||
`#995 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/995>`_,
|
||
`#997 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/997>`_.
|
||
|
||
* Custom constructors can now be added very easily using lambdas or factory
|
||
functions which return a class instance by value, pointer or holder. This
|
||
supersedes the old placement-new ``__init__`` technique.
|
||
See :ref:`custom_constructors` for details.
|
||
`#805 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/805>`_,
|
||
`#1014 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/1014>`_.
|
||
|
||
.. code-block:: cpp
|
||
|
||
struct Example {
|
||
Example(std::string);
|
||
};
|
||
|
||
py::class_<Example>(m, "Example")
|
||
.def(py::init<std::string>()) // existing constructor
|
||
.def(py::init([](int n) { // custom constructor
|
||
return std::make_unique<Example>(std::to_string(n));
|
||
}));
|
||
|
||
* Similarly to custom constructors, pickling support functions are now bound
|
||
using the ``py::pickle()`` adaptor which improves type safety. See the
|
||
:doc:`upgrade` and :ref:`pickling` for details.
|
||
`#1038 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/1038>`_.
|
||
|
||
* Builtin support for converting C++17 standard library types and general
|
||
conversion improvements:
|
||
|
||
1. C++17 ``std::variant`` is supported right out of the box. C++11/14
|
||
equivalents (e.g. ``boost::variant``) can also be added with a simple
|
||
user-defined specialization. See :ref:`cpp17_container_casters` for details.
|
||
`#811 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/811>`_,
|
||
`#845 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/845>`_,
|
||
`#989 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/989>`_.
|
||
|
||
2. Out-of-the-box support for C++17 ``std::string_view``.
|
||
`#906 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/906>`_.
|
||
|
||
3. Improved compatibility of the builtin ``optional`` converter.
|
||
`#874 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/874>`_.
|
||
|
||
4. The ``bool`` converter now accepts ``numpy.bool_`` and types which
|
||
define ``__bool__`` (Python 3.x) or ``__nonzero__`` (Python 2.7).
|
||
`#925 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/925>`_.
|
||
|
||
5. C++-to-Python casters are now more efficient and move elements out
|
||
of rvalue containers whenever possible.
|
||
`#851 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/851>`_,
|
||
`#936 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/936>`_,
|
||
`#938 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/938>`_.
|
||
|
||
6. Fixed ``bytes`` to ``std::string/char*`` conversion on Python 3.
|
||
`#817 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/817>`_.
|
||
|
||
7. Fixed lifetime of temporary C++ objects created in Python-to-C++ conversions.
|
||
`#924 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/924>`_.
|
||
|
||
* Scope guard call policy for RAII types, e.g. ``py::call_guard<py::gil_scoped_release>()``,
|
||
``py::call_guard<py::scoped_ostream_redirect>()``. See :ref:`call_policies` for details.
|
||
`#740 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/740>`_.
|
||
|
||
* Utility for redirecting C++ streams to Python (e.g. ``std::cout`` ->
|
||
``sys.stdout``). Scope guard ``py::scoped_ostream_redirect`` in C++ and
|
||
a context manager in Python. See :ref:`ostream_redirect`.
|
||
`#1009 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/1009>`_.
|
||
|
||
* Improved handling of types and exceptions across module boundaries.
|
||
`#915 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/915>`_,
|
||
`#951 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/951>`_,
|
||
`#995 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/995>`_.
|
||
|
||
* Fixed destruction order of ``py::keep_alive`` nurse/patient objects
|
||
in reference cycles.
|
||
`#856 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/856>`_.
|
||
|
||
* NumPy and buffer protocol related improvements:
|
||
|
||
1. Support for negative strides in Python buffer objects/numpy arrays. This
|
||
required changing integers from unsigned to signed for the related C++ APIs.
|
||
Note: If you have compiler warnings enabled, you may notice some new conversion
|
||
warnings after upgrading. These can be resolved with ``static_cast``.
|
||
`#782 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/782>`_.
|
||
|
||
2. Support ``std::complex`` and arrays inside ``PYBIND11_NUMPY_DTYPE``.
|
||
`#831 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/831>`_,
|
||
`#832 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/832>`_.
|
||
|
||
3. Support for constructing ``py::buffer_info`` and ``py::arrays`` using
|
||
arbitrary containers or iterators instead of requiring a ``std::vector``.
|
||
`#788 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/788>`_,
|
||
`#822 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/822>`_,
|
||
`#860 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/860>`_.
|
||
|
||
4. Explicitly check numpy version and require >= 1.7.0.
|
||
`#819 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/819>`_.
|
||
|
||
* Support for allowing/prohibiting ``None`` for specific arguments and improved
|
||
``None`` overload resolution order. See :ref:`none_arguments` for details.
|
||
`#843 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/843>`_.
|
||
`#859 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/859>`_.
|
||
|
||
* Added ``py::exec()`` as a shortcut for ``py::eval<py::eval_statements>()``
|
||
and support for C++11 raw string literals as input. See :ref:`eval`.
|
||
`#766 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/766>`_,
|
||
`#827 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/827>`_.
|
||
|
||
* ``py::vectorize()`` ignores non-vectorizable arguments and supports
|
||
member functions.
|
||
`#762 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/762>`_.
|
||
|
||
* Support for bound methods as callbacks (``pybind11/functional.h``).
|
||
`#815 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/815>`_.
|
||
|
||
* Allow aliasing pybind11 methods: ``cls.attr("foo") = cls.attr("bar")``.
|
||
`#802 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/802>`_.
|
||
|
||
* Don't allow mixed static/non-static overloads.
|
||
`#804 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/804>`_.
|
||
|
||
* Fixed overriding static properties in derived classes.
|
||
`#784 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/784>`_.
|
||
|
||
* Added support for write only properties.
|
||
`#1144 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/1144>`_.
|
||
|
||
* Improved deduction of member functions of a derived class when its bases
|
||
aren't registered with pybind11.
|
||
`#855 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/855>`_.
|
||
|
||
.. code-block:: cpp
|
||
|
||
struct Base {
|
||
int foo() { return 42; }
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
struct Derived : Base {}
|
||
|
||
// Now works, but previously required also binding `Base`
|
||
py::class_<Derived>(m, "Derived")
|
||
.def("foo", &Derived::foo); // function is actually from `Base`
|
||
|
||
* The implementation of ``py::init<>`` now uses C++11 brace initialization
|
||
syntax to construct instances, which permits binding implicit constructors of
|
||
aggregate types. `#1015 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/1015>`_.
|
||
|
||
.. code-block:: cpp
|
||
|
||
struct Aggregate {
|
||
int a;
|
||
std::string b;
|
||
};
|
||
|
||
py::class_<Aggregate>(m, "Aggregate")
|
||
.def(py::init<int, const std::string &>());
|
||
|
||
* Fixed issues with multiple inheritance with offset base/derived pointers.
|
||
`#812 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/812>`_,
|
||
`#866 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/866>`_,
|
||
`#960 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/960>`_.
|
||
|
||
* Fixed reference leak of type objects.
|
||
`#1030 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/1030>`_.
|
||
|
||
* Improved support for the ``/std:c++14`` and ``/std:c++latest`` modes
|
||
on MSVC 2017.
|
||
`#841 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/841>`_,
|
||
`#999 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/999>`_.
|
||
|
||
* Fixed detection of private operator new on MSVC.
|
||
`#893 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/893>`_,
|
||
`#918 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/918>`_.
|
||
|
||
* Intel C++ compiler compatibility fixes.
|
||
`#937 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/937>`_.
|
||
|
||
* Fixed implicit conversion of `py::enum_` to integer types on Python 2.7.
|
||
`#821 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/821>`_.
|
||
|
||
* Added ``py::hash`` to fetch the hash value of Python objects, and
|
||
``.def(hash(py::self))`` to provide the C++ ``std::hash`` as the Python
|
||
``__hash__`` method.
|
||
`#1034 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/1034>`_.
|
||
|
||
* Fixed ``__truediv__`` on Python 2 and ``__itruediv__`` on Python 3.
|
||
`#867 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/867>`_.
|
||
|
||
* ``py::capsule`` objects now support the ``name`` attribute. This is useful
|
||
for interfacing with ``scipy.LowLevelCallable``.
|
||
`#902 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/902>`_.
|
||
|
||
* Fixed ``py::make_iterator``'s ``__next__()`` for past-the-end calls.
|
||
`#897 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/897>`_.
|
||
|
||
* Added ``error_already_set::matches()`` for checking Python exceptions.
|
||
`#772 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/772>`_.
|
||
|
||
* Deprecated ``py::error_already_set::clear()``. It's no longer needed
|
||
following a simplification of the ``py::error_already_set`` class.
|
||
`#954 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/954>`_.
|
||
|
||
* Deprecated ``py::handle::operator==()`` in favor of ``py::handle::is()``
|
||
`#825 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/825>`_.
|
||
|
||
* Deprecated ``py::object::borrowed``/``py::object::stolen``.
|
||
Use ``py::object::borrowed_t{}``/``py::object::stolen_t{}`` instead.
|
||
`#771 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/771>`_.
|
||
|
||
* Changed internal data structure versioning to avoid conflicts between
|
||
modules compiled with different revisions of pybind11.
|
||
`#1012 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/1012>`_.
|
||
|
||
* Additional compile-time and run-time error checking and more informative messages.
|
||
`#786 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/786>`_,
|
||
`#794 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/794>`_,

v2.1.1 (April 7, 2017)
|
||
-----------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
* Fixed minimum version requirement for MSVC 2015u3
|
||
`#773 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/773>`_.
|
||
|
||
v2.1.0 (March 22, 2017)
|
||
-----------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
* pybind11 now performs function overload resolution in two phases. The first
|
||
phase only considers exact type matches, while the second allows for implicit
|
||
conversions to take place. A special ``noconvert()`` syntax can be used to
|
||
completely disable implicit conversions for specific arguments.
|
||
`#643 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/643>`_,
|
||
`#634 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/634>`_,
|
||
`#650 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/650>`_.
|
||
|
||
* Fixed a regression where static properties no longer worked with classes
|
||
using multiple inheritance. The ``py::metaclass`` attribute is no longer
|
||
necessary (and deprecated as of this release) when binding classes with
|
||
static properties.
|
||
`#679 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/679>`_,
|
||
|
||
* Classes bound using ``pybind11`` can now use custom metaclasses.
|
||
`#679 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/679>`_,
|
||
|
||
* ``py::args`` and ``py::kwargs`` can now be mixed with other positional
|
||
arguments when binding functions using pybind11.
|
||
`#611 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/611>`_.
|
||
|
||
* Improved support for C++11 unicode string and character types; added
|
||
extensive documentation regarding pybind11's string conversion behavior.
|
||
`#624 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/624>`_,
|
||
`#636 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/636>`_,
|
||
`#715 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/715>`_.
|
||
|
||
* pybind11 can now avoid expensive copies when converting Eigen arrays to NumPy
|
||
arrays (and vice versa). `#610 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/610>`_.
|
||
|
||
* The "fast path" in ``py::vectorize`` now works for any full-size group of C or
|
||
F-contiguous arrays. The non-fast path is also faster since it no longer performs
|
||
copies of the input arguments (except when type conversions are necessary).
|
||
`#610 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/610>`_.
|
||
|
||
* Added fast, unchecked access to NumPy arrays via a proxy object.
|
||
`#746 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/746>`_.
|
||
|
||
* Transparent support for class-specific ``operator new`` and
|
||
``operator delete`` implementations.
|
||
`#755 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/755>`_.
|
||
|
||
* Slimmer and more efficient STL-compatible iterator interface for sequence types.
|
||
`#662 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/662>`_.
|
||
|
||
* Improved custom holder type support.
|
||
`#607 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/607>`_.
|
||
|
||
* ``nullptr`` to ``None`` conversion fixed in various builtin type casters.
|
||
`#732 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/732>`_.
|
||
|
||
* ``enum_`` now exposes its members via a special ``__members__`` attribute.
|
||
`#666 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/666>`_.
|
||
|
||
* ``std::vector`` bindings created using ``stl_bind.h`` can now optionally
|
||
implement the buffer protocol. `#488 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/488>`_.
|
||
|
||
* Automated C++ reference documentation using doxygen and breathe.
|
||
`#598 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/598>`_.
|
||
|
||
* Added minimum compiler version assertions.
|
||
`#727 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/727>`_.
|
||
|
||
* Improved compatibility with C++1z.
|
||
`#677 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/677>`_.
|
||
|
||
* Improved ``py::capsule`` API. Can be used to implement cleanup
|
||
callbacks that are involved at module destruction time.
|
||
`#752 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/752>`_.
|
||
|

v2.0.0-rc1 (Dec 23, 2016)
|
||
-----------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
The pybind11 developers are excited to issue a release candidate of pybind11
|
||
with a subsequent v2.0.0 release planned in early January next year.
|
||
|
||
An incredible amount of effort by went into pybind11 over the last ~5 months,
|
||
leading to a release that is jam-packed with exciting new features and numerous
|
||
usability improvements. The following list links PRs or individual commits
|
||
whenever applicable.
|
||
|
||
Happy Christmas!
|
||
|
||
* Support for binding C++ class hierarchies that make use of multiple
|
||
inheritance. `#410 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/410>`_.
|
||
|
||
* PyPy support: pybind11 now supports nightly builds of PyPy and will
|
||
interoperate with the future 5.7 release. No code changes are necessary,
|
||
everything "just" works as usual. Note that we only target the Python 2.7
|
||
branch for now; support for 3.x will be added once its ``cpyext`` extension
|
||
support catches up. A few minor features remain unsupported for the time
|
||
being (notably dynamic attributes in custom types).
|
||
`#527 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/527>`_.
|
||
|
||
* Significant work on the documentation -- in particular, the monolithic
|
||
``advanced.rst`` file was restructured into a easier to read hierarchical
|
||
organization. `#448 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/448>`_.
|
||
|
||
* Many NumPy-related improvements:
|
||
|
||
1. Object-oriented API to access and modify NumPy ``ndarray`` instances,
|
||
replicating much of the corresponding NumPy C API functionality.
|
||
`#402 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/402>`_.
|
||
|
||
2. NumPy array ``dtype`` array descriptors are now first-class citizens and
|
||
are exposed via a new class ``py::dtype``.
|
||
|
||
3. Structured dtypes can be registered using the ``PYBIND11_NUMPY_DTYPE()``
|
||
macro. Special ``array`` constructors accepting dtype objects were also
|
||
added.
|
||
|
||
One potential caveat involving this change: format descriptor strings
|
||
should now be accessed via ``format_descriptor::format()`` (however, for
|
||
compatibility purposes, the old syntax ``format_descriptor::value`` will
|
||
still work for non-structured data types). `#308
|
||
<https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/308>`_.
|
||
|
||
4. Further improvements to support structured dtypes throughout the system.
|
||
`#472 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/472>`_,
|
||
`#474 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/474>`_,
|
||
`#459 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/459>`_,
|
||
`#453 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/453>`_,
|
||
`#452 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/452>`_, and
|
||
`#505 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/505>`_.
|
||
|
||
5. Fast access operators. `#497 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/497>`_.
|
||
|
||
6. Constructors for arrays whose storage is owned by another object.
|
||
`#440 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/440>`_.
|
||
|
||
7. Added constructors for ``array`` and ``array_t`` explicitly accepting shape
|
||
and strides; if strides are not provided, they are deduced assuming
|
||
C-contiguity. Also added simplified constructors for 1-dimensional case.
|
||
|
||
8. Added buffer/NumPy support for ``char[N]`` and ``std::array<char, N>`` types.
|
||
|
||
9. Added ``memoryview`` wrapper type which is constructible from ``buffer_info``.
|
||
|
||
* Eigen: many additional conversions and support for non-contiguous
|
||
arrays/slices.
|
||
`#427 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/427>`_,
|
||
`#315 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/315>`_,
|
||
`#316 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/316>`_,
|
||
`#312 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/312>`_, and
|
||
`#267 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/267>`_
|
||
|
||
* Incompatible changes in ``class_<...>::class_()``:
|
||
|
||
1. Declarations of types that provide access via the buffer protocol must
|
||
now include the ``py::buffer_protocol()`` annotation as an argument to
|
||
the ``class_`` constructor.
|
||
|
||
2. Declarations of types that require a custom metaclass (i.e. all classes
|
||
which include static properties via commands such as
|
||
``def_readwrite_static()``) must now include the ``py::metaclass()``
|
||
annotation as an argument to the ``class_`` constructor.
|
||
|
||
These two changes were necessary to make type definitions in pybind11
|
||
future-proof, and to support PyPy via its cpyext mechanism. `#527
|
||
<https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/527>`_.
|
||
|
||
|
||
3. This version of pybind11 uses a redesigned mechanism for instantiating
|
||
trampoline classes that are used to override virtual methods from within
|
||
Python. This led to the following user-visible syntax change: instead of
|
||
|
||
.. code-block:: cpp
|
||
|
||
py::class_<TrampolineClass>("MyClass")
|
||
.alias<MyClass>()
|
||
....
|
||
|
||
write
|
||
|
||
.. code-block:: cpp
|
||
|
||
py::class_<MyClass, TrampolineClass>("MyClass")
|
||
....
|
||
|
||
Importantly, both the original and the trampoline class are now
|
||
specified as an arguments (in arbitrary order) to the ``py::class_``
|
||
template, and the ``alias<..>()`` call is gone. The new scheme has zero
|
||
overhead in cases when Python doesn't override any functions of the
|
||
underlying C++ class. `rev. 86d825
|
||
<https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/commit/86d825>`_.
|
||
|
||
* Added ``eval`` and ``eval_file`` functions for evaluating expressions and
|
||
statements from a string or file. `rev. 0d3fc3
|
||
<https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/commit/0d3fc3>`_.
|
||
|
||
* pybind11 can now create types with a modifiable dictionary.
|
||
`#437 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/437>`_ and
|
||
`#444 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/444>`_.
|
||
|
||
* Support for translation of arbitrary C++ exceptions to Python counterparts.
|
||
`#296 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/296>`_ and
|
||
`#273 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/273>`_.
|
||
|
||
* Report full backtraces through mixed C++/Python code, better reporting for
|
||
import errors, fixed GIL management in exception processing.
|
||
`#537 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/537>`_,
|
||
`#494 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/494>`_,
|
||
`rev. e72d95 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/commit/e72d95>`_, and
|
||
`rev. 099d6e <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/commit/099d6e>`_.
|
||
|
||
* Support for bit-level operations, comparisons, and serialization of C++
|
||
enumerations. `#503 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/503>`_,
|
||
`#508 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/508>`_,
|
||
`#380 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/380>`_,
|
||
`#309 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/309>`_.
|
||
`#311 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/311>`_.
|
||
|
||
* The ``class_`` constructor now accepts its template arguments in any order.
|
||
`#385 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/385>`_.
|
||
|
||
* Attribute and item accessors now have a more complete interface which makes
|
||
it possible to chain attributes as in
|
||
``obj.attr("a")[key].attr("b").attr("method")(1, 2, 3)``. `#425
|
||
<https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/425>`_.
|
||
|
||
* Major redesign of the default and conversion constructors in ``pytypes.h``.
|
||
`#464 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/464>`_.
|
||
|
||
* Added built-in support for ``std::shared_ptr`` holder type. It is no longer
|
||
necessary to to include a declaration of the form
|
||
``PYBIND11_DECLARE_HOLDER_TYPE(T, std::shared_ptr<T>)`` (though continuing to
|
||
do so won't cause an error).
|
||
`#454 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/454>`_.
|
||
|
||
* New ``py::overload_cast`` casting operator to select among multiple possible
|
||
overloads of a function. An example:
|
||
|
||
.. code-block:: cpp
|
||
|
||
py::class_<Pet>(m, "Pet")
|
||
.def("set", py::overload_cast<int>(&Pet::set), "Set the pet's age")
|
||
.def("set", py::overload_cast<const std::string &>(&Pet::set), "Set the pet's name");
|
||
|
||
This feature only works on C++14-capable compilers.
|
||
`#541 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/541>`_.
|
||
|
||
* C++ types are automatically cast to Python types, e.g. when assigning
|
||
them as an attribute. For instance, the following is now legal:
|
||
|
||
.. code-block:: cpp
|
||
|
||
py::module m = /* ... */
|
||
m.attr("constant") = 123;
|
||
|
||
(Previously, a ``py::cast`` call was necessary to avoid a compilation error.)
|
||
`#551 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/551>`_.
|
||
|
||
* Redesigned ``pytest``-based test suite. `#321 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/321>`_.
|
||
|
||
* Instance tracking to detect reference leaks in test suite. `#324 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/324>`_
|
||
|
||
* pybind11 can now distinguish between multiple different instances that are
|
||
located at the same memory address, but which have different types.
|
||
`#329 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/329>`_.
|
||
|
||
* Improved logic in ``move`` return value policy.
|
||
`#510 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/510>`_,
|
||
`#297 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/297>`_.
|
||
|
||
* Generalized unpacking API to permit calling Python functions from C++ using
|
||
notation such as ``foo(a1, a2, *args, "ka"_a=1, "kb"_a=2, **kwargs)``. `#372 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/372>`_.
|
||
|
||
* ``py::print()`` function whose behavior matches that of the native Python
|
||
``print()`` function. `#372 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/372>`_.
|
||
|
||
* Added ``py::dict`` keyword constructor:``auto d = dict("number"_a=42,
|
||
"name"_a="World");``. `#372 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/372>`_.
|
||
|
||
* Added ``py::str::format()`` method and ``_s`` literal: ``py::str s = "1 + 2
|
||
= {}"_s.format(3);``. `#372 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/372>`_.
|
||
|
||
* Added ``py::repr()`` function which is equivalent to Python's builtin
|
||
``repr()``. `#333 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/333>`_.
|
||
|
||
* Improved construction and destruction logic for holder types. It is now
|
||
possible to reference instances with smart pointer holder types without
|
||
constructing the holder if desired. The ``PYBIND11_DECLARE_HOLDER_TYPE``
|
||
macro now accepts an optional second parameter to indicate whether the holder
|
||
type uses intrusive reference counting.
|
||
`#533 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/533>`_ and
|
||
`#561 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/561>`_.
|
||
|
||
* Mapping a stateless C++ function to Python and back is now "for free" (i.e.
|
||
no extra indirections or argument conversion overheads). `rev. 954b79
|
||
<https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/commit/954b79>`_.
|
||
|
||
* Bindings for ``std::valarray<T>``.
|
||
`#545 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/545>`_.
|
||
|
||
* Improved support for C++17 capable compilers.
|
||
`#562 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/562>`_.
|
||
|
||
* Bindings for ``std::optional<t>``.
|
||
`#475 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/475>`_,
|
||
`#476 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/476>`_,
|
||
`#479 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/479>`_,
|
||
`#499 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/499>`_, and
|
||
`#501 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/501>`_.
|
||
|
||
* ``stl_bind.h``: general improvements and support for ``std::map`` and
|
||
``std::unordered_map``.
|
||
`#490 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/490>`_,
|
||
`#282 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/282>`_,
|
||
`#235 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/235>`_.
|
||
|
||
* The ``std::tuple``, ``std::pair``, ``std::list``, and ``std::vector`` type
|
||
casters now accept any Python sequence type as input. `rev. 107285
|
||
<https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/commit/107285>`_.
|
||
|
||
* Improved CMake Python detection on multi-architecture Linux.
|
||
`#532 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/532>`_.
|
||
|
||
* Infrastructure to selectively disable or enable parts of the automatically
|
||
generated docstrings. `#486 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/486>`_.
|
||
|
||
* ``reference`` and ``reference_internal`` are now the default return value
|
||
properties for static and non-static properties, respectively. `#473
|
||
<https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/473>`_. (the previous defaults
|
||
were ``automatic``). `#473 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/473>`_.
|
||
|
||
* Support for ``std::unique_ptr`` with non-default deleters or no deleter at
|
||
all (``py::nodelete``). `#384 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/384>`_.
|
||
|
||
* Deprecated ``handle::call()`` method. The new syntax to call Python
|
||
functions is simply ``handle()``. It can also be invoked explicitly via
|
||
``handle::operator<X>()``, where ``X`` is an optional return value policy.
|
||
|
||
* Print more informative error messages when ``make_tuple()`` or ``cast()``
|
||
fail. `#262 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/262>`_.
|
||
|
||
* Creation of holder types for classes deriving from
|
||
``std::enable_shared_from_this<>`` now also works for ``const`` values.
|
||
`#260 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/260>`_.
|
||
|
||
* ``make_iterator()`` improvements for better compatibility with various
|
||
types (now uses prefix increment operator); it now also accepts iterators
|
||
with different begin/end types as long as they are equality comparable.
|
||
`#247 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/247>`_.
|
||
|
||
* ``arg()`` now accepts a wider range of argument types for default values.
|
||
`#244 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/244>`_.
|
||
|
||
* Support ``keep_alive`` where the nurse object may be ``None``. `#341
|
||
<https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/341>`_.
|
||
|
||
* Added constructors for ``str`` and ``bytes`` from zero-terminated char
|
||
pointers, and from char pointers and length. Added constructors for ``str``
|
||
from ``bytes`` and for ``bytes`` from ``str``, which will perform UTF-8
|
||
decoding/encoding as required.
|
||
|
||
* Many other improvements of library internals without user-visible changes
|
||
|
||
|
||
1.8.1 (July 12, 2016)
|
||
----------------------
|
||
* Fixed a rare but potentially very severe issue when the garbage collector ran
|
||
during pybind11 type creation.
|
||
|
||
1.8.0 (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
|
||
* Fixed incorrect default return value policy for functions returning a shared
|
||
pointer
|
||
* Don't allow registering a type via ``class_`` twice
|
||
* Don't allow casting a ``None`` value into a C++ lvalue reference
|
||
* 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
|
||
* 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``
|
||
* 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)
|
||
----------------------
|
||
* Added a new ``move`` return value policy that triggers C++11 move semantics.
|
||
The automatic return value policy falls back to this case whenever a rvalue
|
||
reference is encountered
|
||
* Significantly more general GIL state routines that are used instead of
|
||
Python's troublesome ``PyGILState_Ensure`` and ``PyGILState_Release`` API
|
||
* Redesign of opaque types that drastically simplifies their usage
|
||
* Extended ability to pass values of type ``[const] void *``
|
||
* ``keep_alive`` fix: don't fail when there is no patient
|
||
* ``functional.h``: acquire the GIL before calling a Python function
|
||
* Added Python RAII type wrappers ``none`` and ``iterable``
|
||
* Added ``*args`` and ``*kwargs`` pass-through parameters to
|
||
``pybind11.get_include()`` function
|
||
* Iterator improvements and fixes
|
||
* Documentation on return value policies and opaque types improved
|
||
|
||
1.6 (April 30, 2016)
|
||
----------------------
|
||
* Skipped due to upload to PyPI gone wrong and inability to recover
|
||
(https://github.com/pypa/packaging-problems/issues/74)
|
||
|
||
1.5 (April 21, 2016)
|
||
----------------------
|
||
* For polymorphic types, use RTTI to try to return the closest type registered with pybind11
|
||
* Pickling support for serializing and unserializing C++ instances to a byte stream in Python
|
||
* Added a convenience routine ``make_iterator()`` which turns a range indicated
|
||
by a pair of C++ iterators into a iterable Python object
|
||
* Added ``len()`` and a variadic ``make_tuple()`` function
|
||
* Addressed a rare issue that could confuse the current virtual function
|
||
dispatcher and another that could lead to crashes in multi-threaded
|
||
applications
|
||
* Added a ``get_include()`` function to the Python module that returns the path
|
||
of the directory containing the installed pybind11 header files
|
||
* Documentation improvements: import issues, symbol visibility, pickling, limitations
|
||
* Added casting support for ``std::reference_wrapper<>``
|
||
|
||
1.4 (April 7, 2016)
|
||
--------------------------
|
||
* Transparent type conversion for ``std::wstring`` and ``wchar_t``
|
||
* Allow passing ``nullptr``-valued strings
|
||
* Transparent passing of ``void *`` pointers using capsules
|
||
* Transparent support for returning values wrapped in ``std::unique_ptr<>``
|
||
* Improved docstring generation for compatibility with Sphinx
|
||
* Nicer debug error message when default parameter construction fails
|
||
* Support for "opaque" types that bypass the transparent conversion layer for STL containers
|
||
* Redesigned type casting interface to avoid ambiguities that could occasionally cause compiler errors
|
||
* Redesigned property implementation; fixes crashes due to an unfortunate default return value policy
|
||
* Anaconda package generation support
|
||
|
||
1.3 (March 8, 2016)
|
||
--------------------------
|
||
|
||
* Added support for the Intel C++ compiler (v15+)
|
||
* Added support for the STL unordered set/map data structures
|
||
* Added support for the STL linked list data structure
|
||
* NumPy-style broadcasting support in ``pybind11::vectorize``
|
||
* pybind11 now displays more verbose error messages when ``arg::operator=()`` fails
|
||
* pybind11 internal data structures now live in a version-dependent namespace to avoid ABI issues
|
||
* Many, many bugfixes involving corner cases and advanced usage
|
||
|
||
1.2 (February 7, 2016)
|
||
--------------------------
|
||
|
||
* Optional: efficient generation of function signatures at compile time using C++14
|
||
* Switched to a simpler and more general way of dealing with function default
|
||
arguments. Unused keyword arguments in function calls are now detected and
|
||
cause errors as expected
|
||
* New ``keep_alive`` call policy analogous to Boost.Python's ``with_custodian_and_ward``
|
||
* New ``pybind11::base<>`` attribute to indicate a subclass relationship
|
||
* Improved interface for RAII type wrappers in ``pytypes.h``
|
||
* Use RAII type wrappers consistently within pybind11 itself. This
|
||
fixes various potential refcount leaks when exceptions occur
|
||
* Added new ``bytes`` RAII type wrapper (maps to ``string`` in Python 2.7)
|
||
* Made handle and related RAII classes const correct, using them more
|
||
consistently everywhere now
|
||
* Got rid of the ugly ``__pybind11__`` attributes on the Python side---they are
|
||
now stored in a C++ hash table that is not visible in Python
|
||
* Fixed refcount leaks involving NumPy arrays and bound functions
|
||
* Vastly improved handling of shared/smart pointers
|
||
* Removed an unnecessary copy operation in ``pybind11::vectorize``
|
||
* Fixed naming clashes when both pybind11 and NumPy headers are included
|
||
* Added conversions for additional exception types
|
||
* Documentation improvements (using multiple extension modules, smart pointers,
|
||
other minor clarifications)
|
||
* unified infrastructure for parsing variadic arguments in ``class_`` and cpp_function
|
||
* Fixed license text (was: ZLIB, should have been: 3-clause BSD)
|
||
* Python 3.2 compatibility
|
||
* Fixed remaining issues when accessing types in another plugin module
|
||
* Added enum comparison and casting methods
|
||
* Improved SFINAE-based detection of whether types are copy-constructible
|
||
* Eliminated many warnings about unused variables and the use of ``offsetof()``
|
||
* Support for ``std::array<>`` conversions
|
||
|
||
1.1 (December 7, 2015)
|
||
--------------------------
|
||
|
||
* Documentation improvements (GIL, wrapping functions, casting, fixed many typos)
|
||
* Generalized conversion of integer types
|
||
* Improved support for casting function objects
|
||
* Improved support for ``std::shared_ptr<>`` conversions
|
||
* Initial support for ``std::set<>`` conversions
|
||
* Fixed type resolution issue for types defined in a separate plugin module
|
||
* CMake build system improvements
|
||
* Factored out generic functionality to non-templated code (smaller code size)
|
||
* Added a code size / compile time benchmark vs Boost.Python
|
||
* Added an appveyor CI script
|
||
|
||
1.0 (October 15, 2015)
|
||
------------------------
|
||
* Initial release
