Below are the changes for the current release. See the CHANGES file for changes in older releases. See the RELEASENOTES file for a summary of changes in each release. Version 2.0.10 (27 May 2013) ============================ 2013-05-25: wsfulton [Python] Fix Python 3 inconsistency when negative numbers are passed where a parameter expects an unsigned C type. An OverFlow error is now consistently thrown instead of a TypeError. 2013-05-25: Artem Serebriyskiy SVN Patch ticket #338 - fixes to %attribute macros for template usage with %arg. 2013-05-19: wsfulton Fix ccache-swig internal error bug due to premature file cleanup. Fixes SF bug 1319 which shows up as a failure in the ccache tests on Debian 64 bit Wheezy, possibly because ENABLE_ZLIB is defined. This is a corner case which will be hit when the maximum number of files in the cache is set to be quite low (-F option), resulting in a cache miss. 2013-05-09: kwwette [Octave] Fix bugs in Octave module loading: - fix a memory leak in setting of global variables - install functions only once, to speed up module loads 2013-04-28: gjanssens [Guile] Updates in guile module: - Add support for guile 2.0 - Drop support for guile 1.6 - Drop support for generating wrappers using guile's gh interface. All generated wrappers will use the scm interface from now on. - Deprecate -gh and -scm options. They are no longer needed. A warning will be issued when these options are still used. - Fix all tests and examples to have a successful travis test 2013-04-18: wsfulton Apply Patch #36 from Jesus Lopez to add support for $descriptor() special variable macro expansion in fragments. For example: %fragment("nameDescriptor", "header") %{ static const char *nameDescriptor = "$descriptor(Name)"; %} which will generate into the wrapper if the fragment is used: static const char *nameDescriptor = "SWIGTYPE_Name"; 2013-04-18: wsfulton Fix SF Bug #428 - Syntax error when preprocessor macros are defined inside of enum lists, such as: typedef enum { eZero = 0 #define ONE 1 } EFoo; The macros are silently ignored. 2013-04-17: wsfulton [C#] Pull patch #34 from BrantKyser to fix smart pointers in conjuction with directors. 2013-04-15: kwwette [Octave] Fix bugs in output of cleanup code. - Cleanup code is now written also after the "fail:" label, so it will be called if a SWIG_exception is raised by the wrapping function, consistent with other modules. - Octave module now also recognises the "$cleanup" special variable, if needed. 2013-04-08: kwwette Add -MP option to SWIG for generating phony targets for all dependencies. - Prevents make from complaining if header files have been deleted before the dependency file has been updated. - Modelled on similar option in GCC. 2013-04-09: olly [PHP] Add missing directorin typemap for char* and char[] which fixes director_string testcase failure. 2013-04-05: wsfulton [Ruby] SF Bug #1292 - Runtime fixes for Proc changes in ruby-1.9 when using STL wrappers that override the default predicate, such as: %template(Map) std::map<swig::LANGUAGE_OBJ, swig::LANGUAGE_OBJ, swig::BinaryPredicate<> >; 2013-04-05: wsfulton [Ruby] SF Bug #1159 - Correctly check rb_respond_to call return values to fix some further 1.9 problems with functors and use of Complex wrappers. 2013-04-02: wsfulton [Ruby] Runtime fixes for std::complex wrappers for ruby-1.9 - new native Ruby complex numbers are used. 2013-03-30: wsfulton [Ruby] Fix seg fault when using STL containers of generic Ruby types, GC_VALUE or LANGUAGE_OBJECT, on exit of the Ruby interpreter. More frequently observed in ruby-1.9. 2013-03-29: wsfulton [Ruby] Fix delete_if (reject!) for the STL container wrappers which previously would sometimes seg fault or not work. 2013-03-25: wsfulton [Python] Fix some undefined behaviour deleting slices in the STL containers. 2013-03-19: wsfulton [C#, Java, D] Fix seg fault in SWIG using directors when class and virtual method names are the same except being in different namespaces when the %nspace feature is not being used. 2013-02-19: kwwette Fix bug in SWIG's handling of qualified (e.g. const) variables of array type. Given the typedef a(7).q(volatile).double myarray // typedef volatile double[7] myarray; the type q(const).myarray // const myarray becomes a(7).q(const volatile).double // const volatile double[7] Previously, SwigType_typedef_resolve() produces the type q(const).a(7).q(volatile).double // non-sensical type which would never match %typemap declarations, whose types were parsed correctly. Add typemap_array_qualifiers.i to the test suite which checks for the correct behaviour. 2013-02-18: wsfulton Deprecate typedef names used as constructor and destructor names in %extend. The real class/struct name should be used. typedef struct tagEStruct { int ivar; } EStruct; %extend tagEStruct { EStruct() // illegal name, should be tagEStruct() { EStruct *s = new EStruct(); s->ivar = ivar0; return s; } ~EStruct() // illegal name, should be ~tagEStruct() { delete $self; } } For now these trigger a warning: extend_constructor_destructor.i:107: Warning 522: Use of an illegal constructor name 'EStruct' in %extend is deprecated, the constructor name should be 'tagEStruct'. extend_constructor_destructor.i:111: Warning 523: Use of an illegal destructor name 'EStruct' in %extend is deprecated, the destructor name should be 'tagEStruct'. These %extend destructor and constructor names were valid up to swig-2.0.4, however swig-2.0.5 ignored them altogether for C code as reported in SF bug #1306. The old behaviour of using them has been restored for now, but is officially deprecated. This does not apply to anonymously defined typedef classes/structs such as: typedef struct {...} X; 2013-02-17: kwwette When generating functions provided by %extend, use "(void)" for no-argument functions instead of "()". This prevents warnings when compiling with "gcc -Wstrict-prototypes". 2013-02-17: kwwette [Octave] Minor fix to autodoc generation: get the right type for functions returning structs. 2013-02-15: wsfulton Deprecate typedef names used in %extend that are not the real class/struct name. For example: typedef struct StructBName { int myint; } StructB; %extend StructB { void method() {} } will now trigger a warning: swig_extend.i:19: Warning 326: Deprecated %extend name used - the struct name StructBName should be used instead of the typedef name StructB. This is only partially working anyway (the %extend only worked if placed after the class definition). 2013-02-09: wsfulton [CFFI] Apply patch #22 - Fix missing package before &body 2013-01-29: wsfulton [Java] Ensure 'javapackage' typemap is used as it stopped working from version 2.0.5. 2013-01-28: wsfulton [Python] Apply patch SF #334 - Fix default value conversions "TRUE"->True, "FALSE"->False. 2013-01-28: wsfulton [Java] Apply patch SF #335 - Truly ignore constructors in directors with %ignore. 2013-01-18: Brant Kyser [Java] Patch #15 - Allow the use of the nspace feature without the -package commandline option. This works as long and the new jniclasspackage pragma is used to place the JNI intermediate class into a package and the nspace feature is used to place all exposed types into a package. 2013-01-15: wsfulton Fix Visual Studio examples to work when SWIG is unzipped into a directory containing spaces. 2013-01-15: wsfulton [C#] Fix cstype typemap lookup for member variables so that a fully qualified variable name matches. For example: %typemap(cstype) bool MVar::mvar "MyBool" struct MVar { bool mvar; }; 2013-01-11: Brant Kyser [Java, C#, D] SF Bug #1299 - Fix generated names for when %nspace is used on classes with the same name in two different namespaces. 2013-01-11: Vladimir Kalinin [C#] Add support for csdirectorin 'pre', 'post' and 'terminator' attributes. 2013-01-08: olly [PHP] Fix to work with a ZTS build of PHP (broken in 2.0.7). 2013-01-07: olly Fix bashism in configure, introduced in 2.0.9. 2013-01-06: wsfulton Pull patch #4 from ptomulik to fix SF Bug #1296 - Fix incorrect warning for virtual destructors in templates, such as: Warning 521: Illegal destructor name B< A >::~B(). Ignored. 2013-01-05: wsfulton [Python] Pull patch #3 from ptomulik to fix SF Bug #1295 - standard exceptions as classes using the SWIG_STD_EXCEPTIONS_AS_CLASSES macro. 2013-01-04: wsfulton [Java] Pull patch #2 from BrantKyser to fix SF Bug #1283 - fix smart pointers in conjuction with directors. 2013-01-03: wsfulton [Java] Pull patch #1 from BrantKyser to fix SF Bug #1278 - fix directors and nspace feature when multilevel namespaces are used.
