| Version 3.0.0 (in progress) |
| ============================ |
| |
| 2014-02-06: gjanssens |
| [Guile] Patch #133. Make scm to string conversion work with non-ascii strings. |
| Guile 2 has a completely rewritten string implementation. SWIG made some assumptions |
| that are no longer valid as to the internals of guile's string representation. |
| |
| 2014-01-30: wsfulton |
| [C#] Add new swigtype_inout.i library containing SWIGTYPE *& OUTPUT typemaps. |
| |
| Example usage wrapping: |
| |
| void f(XXX *& x) { x = new XXX(111); } |
| |
| would be: |
| |
| XXX x = null; |
| f(out x); |
| // use x |
| x.Dispose(); // manually clear memory or otherwise leave out and leave it to the garbage collector |

| [Go] Add %go_import directive. |
| |
| 2014-01-21: ianlancetaylor |
| [Go] Add support for Go 1.3, not yet released. |
| |
| 2014-01-20: wsfulton |
| Director exceptions (Swig::DirectorException) now derive from std::exception |
| and hence provide the what() method. In Python and Ruby, this replaces the now |
| deprecated DirectorException::getMessage() method. |
| |
| 2014-01-16: wsfulton |
| [PHP] Fix compilation error in ZTS mode (64 bit windows) due to incorrect placement |
| of TSRMLS_FETCH() in SWIG_Php_GetModule() as reported by Mark Dawson-Butterworth. |
| |
| 2014-01-14: diorcety |
| Patch #112 - Fix symbol resolution involving scopes that have multiple levels |
| of typedefs - fixes some template resolutions as well as some typemap searches. |
| |
| 2014-01-13: kwwette |
| [Octave] update support to Octave version 3.8.0 |
| |
| - Octave 3.8.0 no longer defines OCTAVE_API_VERSION_NUMBER, but 3.8.1 |
| will define OCTAVE_{MAJOR,MINOR,PATCH}_VERSION instead: see |
| http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/b6b6e0dc700e |
| So we now use a new macro SWIG_OCTAVE_PREREQ(major,minor,patch) to |
| enable features requiring Octave version major.minor.patch or later. |
| |
| For Octave versions prior to 3.8.1, we reconstruct values for |
| OCTAVE_{MAJOR,MINOR,PATCH}_VERSION based on OCTAVE_API_VERSION_NUMBER, |
| extracted from Octave's ChangeLogs. An additional hack is needed to |
| distinguish between Octave <= 3.2.x and 3.8.0, neither of which define |
| OCTAVE_API_VERSION_NUMBER. |
| |
| - Octave 3.8.0 deprecates symbol_table::varref(), so remove its use |
| for this and future versions of Octave. |
| |
| - Octave 3.8.0 removes octave_value::is_real_nd_array(), used in |
| octave_swig_type::dims(). Its use is not required here, so remove it. |
| |
| - Retested against Octave versions 3.0.5, 3.2.4, 3.4.3, 3.6.4, and 3.8.0. |
| |
| - Updated Octave documentation with tested Octave versions, and added a |
| warning against using versions <= 3.x.x, which are no longer tested. |
| |
| 2014-01-11: wsfulton |
| Fix and document the naturalvar feature override behaviour - the naturalvar |
| feature attached to a variable name has precedence over the naturalvar |
| feature attached to the variable's type. The overriding was not working |
| when turning the feature off on the variable's name. |
| |
| Fix so that any use of the naturalvar feature will override the global |
| setting. Previously when set globally by -naturalvar or %module(naturalvar=1), |
| use of the naturalvar feature was not always honoured. |

| [Go] Fix bug that broke using directors from a thread not |
| created by Go. |

| [Python] SF Bug #1297 |
| |
| Resolve several issues related to python imports. |
| For example, it's now possible to import modules having the same module |
| names, but belonging in different packages. |
| |
| From the user's viewpoint, this patch gives a little bit more control on |
| import statements generated by SWIG. The user may choose to use relative |
| or absolute imports. |
| |
| Some details: |
| - we (still) generate import statements in the form 'import a.b.c' which |
| corresponds to absolute imports in python3 and (the only available) |
| ambiguous one in python2. |
| - added -relativeimport option to use explicit relative import syntax |
| (python3), |
| |
| The "Python Packages" section in the documentation discusses how to work |
| with importing packages including the new -relativeimport command line option. |

| [Octave, Perl, Python, R, Ruby, Tcl] Change the length of strings created from fixed-size char |
| buffers in C code. |
| |
| This is a potential backwards compatibility break: a "char buf[5]" containing "ho\0la" was |
| returned as a string of length 5 before, but is returned as a string of length 2 now. Also, |
| it was possible to assign a (non-NUL-terminated) string "hello" to such a buffer before but |
| now this fails and only "helo" can fit. |
| |
| Apply "char FIXSIZE[ANY]" typemaps to explicitly choose the old behaviour. |
| |

| [Perl] Add support for directors. |
| |
| 2013-12-22: wsfulton |
| C++11 support for new versions of erase and insert in the STL containers. |
| |
| The erase and insert methods in the containers use const_iterator instead |
| of iterator in C++11. There are times when the methods wrapped must match |
| the parameters exactly. Specifically when full type information for |
| template types is missing or SWIG fails to look up the type correctly, |
| for example: |
| |
| %include <std_vector.i> |
| typedef float Real; |
| %template(RealVector) std::vector<Real>; |
| |
| SWIG does not find std::vector<Real>::iterator because %template using |
| typedefs does not always work and so SWIG doesn't know if the type is |
| copyable and so uses SwigValueWrapper<iterator> which does |
| not support conversion to another type (const_iterator). This resulted |
| in compilation errors when using the C++11 version of the containers. |
| |
| Closes #73 |

| [Go] Don't require that Go environment variables be set |
| when running examples or testsuite when using Go 1 or |
| later. |
| |
| 2013-12-17: ianlancetaylor |
| [Go] Remove -longsize option (for backward compatibility, |
| ignore it if seen). |
| |
| 2013-12-17: ianlancetaylor |
| [Go] Add -go-pkgpath option. |
| |
| 2013-12-16: ianlancetaylor |
| [Go] Update for Go 1.2 release. Add support for linking |
| SWIG code directly into executable, rather than using a |
| shared library. |
| |
| 2013-12-13: ianlancetaylor |
| [Go] Add SWIG source file name as comments in generated |
| files. This can be used by Go documentation tools. |
| |
| 2013-12-12: jleveque |
| [Lua] Fix typo (wchar instead of wchar_t) which made wchar.i |
| for Lua useless. |
| |
| 2013-12-12: vmiklos |
| [PHP] PHP's peculiar call-time pass-by-reference feature was |
| deprecated in PHP 5.3 and removed in PHP 5.4, so update the REF |
| typemaps in phppointers.i to specify pass-by-reference in the |
| function definition. Examples/php/pointer has been updated |
| accordingly. |
| |
| 2013-12-12: olly |
| [PHP] The usage of $input in PHP directorout typemaps has been |
| changed to be consistent with other languages. The typemaps |
| provided by SWIG have been updated accordingly, but if you |
| have written your own directorout typemaps, you'll need to |
| update $input to &$input (or make equivalent changes). |
| |
| *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** |

| 2013-11-27: vadz |
| [C#, Java, Python] Add std_auto_ptr.i defining typemaps for returning std::auto_ptr<>. |
| |
| 2013-11-09: wsfulton |
| [C#] Apply patch #79 from Brant Kyser |
| - Remove using directives from the generated C# code and fully qualify the use of all .NET |
| framework types in order to minimize potential name collisions from input files defining |
| types, namespace, etc with the same name as .NET framework members. |
| - Globally qualify the use of .NET framework types in the System namespace |
| - Remove .NET 1.1 support, .NET 2 is the minimum for the C# module |
| |
| This is a potential backwards compatibility break if code has been added relying on these using |
| statements that used to be generated: |
| |
| using System; |
| using System.Runtime.InteropServices; |
| |
| The quick fix to add these back in is to add the -DSWIG2_CSHARP command line option when |
| executing SWIG. See CSharp.html documentation for more info. |
