Version 1.3.30 (in progress) ============================ 09/23/2006: olly [Ruby] Support building with recent versions of the Ruby 1.9 development branch. Fixes bug #1560092. 09/23/2006: olly Templates can now be instantiated using negative numbers and constant expressions, e.g.: template class x {}; %template(x_minus1) x<-1>; %template(x_1plus2) x<1+2>; Also, constant expressions can now include comparisons (>, <, >=, <=, !=, ==), modulus (%), and ternary conditionals (a ? b : c). Fixes bugs #646275, #925555, #956282, #994301. 09/22/2006: wsfulton Fix %ignore on director methods - Bugs #1546254, #1543533 09/20/2006: wsfulton Fix %ignore on director constructors 09/20/2006: wsfulton Fix seg faults and asserts when director methods are ignored (#1543533) 09/20/2006: wsfulton Fix out of source builds - bug #1544718 09/20/2006: olly Treat a nested class definition as a forward declaration rather than ignoring it completely, so that we generate correct code for passing opaque pointers to the nested class (fixes SF bug #909387). 09/20/2006: olly *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** [php] Overload resolution now works. However to allow this, SWIG generated wrappers no longer coerce PHP types (which reverts a change made in 1.3.26). So for example, if a method takes a string, you can no longer pass a number without explicitly converting it to a string in PHP using: (string)x 09/18/2006: mgossage [ALL] fix on swiginit.swg, has been reported to crash on several test cases found and fixed problem in imports under python (mingw) 09/16/2006: wsfulton [Python] Patch from Michal Marek for Python 2.5 to fix 64 bit array indexes on 64 bit machines. 09/13/2006: wsfulton The explicitcall feature has been scrapped. This feature was introduced primarily to solve recursive director method calls. Director upcall improvements made instead: [Python, Ruby, Ocaml] The swig_up flag is no longer used. The required mutexes wrapping this flag are also no longer needed. The recursive calls going from C++ to the target language and back again etc are now avoided by a subtlely different approach. Instead of using the swig_up flag in each director method to indicate whether the explicit C++ call to the appropriate base class method or a normal polymorphic C++ call should be made, the new approach makes one of these calls directly from the wrapper method. [Java, C#] The recursive call problem when calling a C++ base class method from Java/C# is now fixed. The implementation is slightly different to the other languages as the detection as to whether the explicit call or a normal polymorphic call is made in the Java/C# layer rather than in the C++ layer. 09/11/2006: mgossage [ALL] updated swiginit.swg to allow multiple interpreters to use multiple swig modules at once. This has been tested in Lua (mingw & linux), perl5 & python (linux) only. 09/11/2006: mgossage [lua] added support for passing function pointers as well as native lua object into wrappered function. Added example funcptr3 to demonstrate this feature 09/05/2006: olly [php] Rename ErrorCode and ErrorMsg #define-s to SWIG_ErrorCode and SWIG_ErrorMsg to avoid clashes with code the user might be wrapping (patch from Darren Warner in SF bug #1466086). Any user typemaps which use ErrorCode and/or ErrorMsg directly will need adjusting - you can easily fix them to work with both old and new SWIG by changing to use SWIG_ErrorMsg and adding: #ifndef SWIG_ErrorMsg #define SWIG_ErrorMsg() ErrorMsg() #endif 08/29/2006: olly [php] Move constant initialisation from RINIT to MINIT to fix a warning when using Apache and mod_php. We only need to create PHP constants once when we're first initialised, not for every HTTP request. 08/21/2006: mgossage [Lua] Bugfix #1542466 added code to allow mapping Lua nil's <-> C/C++ NULL's updated various typemaps to work correctly with the changes added voidtest_runme.lua to show the features working 08/19/2006: wuzzeb (John Lenz) [Guile] Add feature:constasvar to export constants as variables instead of functions that return the constant value. 08/11/2006: wsfulton [Java] DetachCurrentThread calls have been added so that natively created threads no longer prevent the JVM from exiting. Bug reported by Thomas Dudziak and Paul Noll. 08/10/2006: wsfulton [C#] Fix director protected methods so they work 07/25/2006: mutandiz [allegrocl] more additions to std::string, some tweaks and small bug fixes -nocwrap mode. 07/21/2006: mgossage [Lua] Bugfix #1526022 pdated std::string to support strings with '\0' inside them updated typemaps.i to add support for pointer to pointers 07/19/2006: mutandiz [allegrocl] - Add std_string.i support. - Add newobject patch submitted by mkoeppe (thanks!) - Fix type name mismatch issue for nested type definitions. specifically typedefs in templated class defns. 07/18/2006: mgossage Bugfix #1522858 updated lua.cxx to support -external-runtime command 07/14/2006: wuzzeb (John Lenz) Increment the SWIG_RUNTIME_VERSION to 3, because of the addition of the owndata member in swig_type_info. Reported by: Prabhu Ramachandran 07/05/2006: wsfulton Search path fixes: - Fix search path for library files to behave as documented in Library.html. - Fix mingw/msys builds which did not find the SWIG library when installed. - Windows builds also output the mingw/msys install location when running swig -swiglib. - The non-existent and undocumented config directory in the search path has been removed. 07/05/2006: wsfulton Fix $symname special variable expansion. 07/04/2006: wuzzeb (John Lenz) [Chicken] Add %feature("constasvar"), which instead of exporting a constant as a scheme function, exports the constant as a scheme variable. Update the documentation as well. 07/04/2006: wsfulton [See entry of 09/13/2006 - explicitcall feature and documentation to it removed] New explicitcall feature which generates additional wrappers for virtual methods that call the method explicitly, not relying on polymorphism to make the method call. The feature is a feature flag and is enabled like any other feature flag. It also recognises an attribute, "suffix" for mangling the feature name, see SWIGPlus.html#SWIGPlus_explicitcall documentation for more details. [Java, C#] The explicitcall feature is also a workaround for solving the recursive calls problem when a director method makes a call to a base class method. See Java.html#java_directors_explicitcall for updated documentation. 06/28/2006: joe (Joseph Wang) [r] Initial support for R 06/20/2006: wuzzeb (John Lenz) [Chicken] Minor fixes to get apply_strings.i testsuite to pass Remove integers_runme.scm from the testsuite, because SWIG and Chicken does handle overflows. 06/17/2006: olly [php] Added some missing keywords to the PHP4 keyword list, and fixed __LINE__ and __FILE__ which were in the wrong category. Also added all the keywords new in PHP5, and added comments noting the PHP4 keywords which aren't keywords in PHP5. 06/17/2006: olly [php] Don't segfault if PHP Null is passed as this pointer (e.g. Class_method(Null)) - give a PHP Error instead. 06/15/2006: mutandiz [allegrocl] Add initial support for std::list container class. Fix a few bugs in helper functions. 05/13/2006: wsfulton [Java] Replace JNIEXPORT with SWIGEXPORT, thereby enabling the possibility of using gcc -fvisibility=hidden for potentially smaller faster loading wrappers. 05/13/2006: wsfulton Fix for Makefiles for autoconf-2.60 beta 05/13/2006: wsfulton Vladimir Menshakov patch for compiling wrappers with python-2.5 alpha. 05/12/2006: wsfulton Fix buffer overflow error when using large %feature(docstring) reported by Joseph Winston. 05/12/2006: wsfulton [Perl] Operator overload fix from Daniel Moore. 05/25/2006: mutandiz [allegrocl] Fix bug in generation of CLOS type declarations for unions and equivalent types. 05/24/2006: mutandiz [allegrocl] Don't require a full class definition to generate a CLOS wrapper. 05/20/2006: olly [php] GCC Visibility support now works with PHP. 05/19/2006: olly [php] Removed support for -dlname (use -module instead). Fixed naming of PHP extension module to be consistent with PHP conventions (no "php_" prefix on Unix; on PHP >= 4.3.0, handle Unix platforms which use something other than ".so" as the extension.) 05/13/2006: wsfulton [C#] Director support added 05/07/2006: olly [php] Don't segfault if PHP Null is passed where a C++ reference is wanted. 05/05/2006: olly [php] Fix wrappers generated for global 'char' variables to not include a terminating zero byte in the PHP string. 05/03/2006: wsfulton Modify typemaps so that char * can be applied to unsigned char * or signed char * types and visa versa. 05/03/2006: efuzzyone [cffi]Thanks to Luke J Crook for this idea. - a struct/enum/union is replaced with :pointer only if that slot is actually a pointer to that type. So,: struct a_struct { int x; } and struct b_struct { a_struct struct_1; }; will be converted as: (cffi:defcstruct b_struct (struct_1 a_struct)) - Other minor fixes in lispifying names. 05/02/2006: wsfulton Fix possible redefinition of _CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE for VC++. 04/14/2006: efuzzyone [cffi] Thanks to Thomas Weidner for the patch. - when feature export is set (export 'foo) is generated for every symbol - when feature inline is set (declaim (inline foo)) is generated before every function definition - when feature intern_function is set #.(value-of-intern-function "name" "nodeType" package) is emitted instead of the plain symbol. A sample swig-lispify is provided. - every symbol is prefixed by it's package. 04/13/2006: efuzzyone [cffi] Fixed the generation of wrappers for global variables. Added the option [no]swig-lisp which turns on/off generation of code for swig helper lisp macro, functions, etc.
