Version 2.0.8 (in progress)
===========================

2012-08-15: wsfulton
            [Perl] Add size_type, value_type, const_reference to the STL containers.

2012-08-15: wsfulton
            [Python] Add discard and add methods to std::set wrappers so that pyabc.i can be used ensuring
            MutableSet is a valid abstract base class for std::set. As reported by Alexey Sokolov.
            Similarly for std::multiset.

2012-08-15: wsfulton
            [Python] Fix #3541744 - Missing PyInt_FromSize_t calls for Python 3.

2012-08-13: wsfulton
            [Java] Patch from David Baum to add the assumeoverride feature for Java directors to
            improve performance when all overridden methods can be assumed to be overridden.

2012-08-05: wsfulton
            [Python] #3530021 Fix unused variable warning.

2012-08-05: wsfulton
            [C#] Fix #3536360 - Invalid code sometimes being generated for director methods
            with many arguments.

2012-08-05: wsfulton
            [Perl] #3545877 - Don't undefine bool if defined by C99 stdbool.h - problem using 
            Perl 5.16 and later.

2012-08-04: wsfulton
            Remove incorrect warning (314) about target language keywords which were triggered
            by using declarations and using directives. For example 'string' is a keyword in C#:
              namespace std { class string; }
              using std::string;

2012-07-21: wsfulton
            Fix display of pointers in various places on 64 bit systems - only 32 bits were being shown.

2012-07-21: wsfulton
            Fix gdb debugger functions 'swigprint' and 'locswigprint' to display to the gdb output window
            rather than stdout. This fixes display problems in gdbtui and the ensures the output
            appears where expected in other gdb based debuggers such as Eclipse CDT.

2012-07-20: kwwette
            [Octave] segfault-on-exit prevention hack now preserves exit status, and uses C99 _Exit().

2012-07-02: wsfulton
            Fix Debian bug http://bugs.debian.org/672035, typemap copy failure - regression introduced 
            in swig-2.0.5:
              %include<stl.i>
              using std::pair;
              %template(StrPair) pair<std::string, std::string>;

2012-07-02: wsfulton
            Fix using declarations combined with using directives with forward class declarations so that
            types are correctly found in scope for templates. Example:

              namespace Outer2 {
                namespace Space2 {
                  template<typename T> class Thing2;
                }
              }
              using namespace Outer2;
              using Space2::Thing2;
              template<typename T> class Thing2 {};
              // STILL BROKEN void useit2(Thing2<int> t) {}
              void useit2a(Outer2::Space2::Thing2<int> t) {}
              void useit2b(::Outer2::Space2::Thing2<int> t) {}
              void useit2c(Space2::Thing2<int> t) {}
              namespace Outer2 {
                void useit2d(Space2::Thing2<int> t) {}
              }

              %template(Thing2Int) Thing2<int>;


2012-06-30: wsfulton
            Fix template namespace problems for symbols declared with a forward class declarations, such as:

              namespace Space1 {
                namespace Space2 {
                  template<typename T> struct YYY;
                }
                template<typename T> struct Space2::YYY {
                  T yyy(T h) {
                    return h;
                  }    
                };
                void testYYY1(Space1::Space2::YYY<int> yy) {}
                void testYYY2(Space2::YYY<int> yy) {}
                void testYYY3(::Space1::Space2::YYY<int> yy) {}
              }

              %template(YYYInt) Space1::Space2::YYY<int>;

2012-06-30: wsfulton
            Fix namespace problems for symbols declared with a forward class declarations, such as:

              namespace Space1 {
                namespace Space2 {
                  struct XXX;
                  struct YYY;
                }

                struct Space2::YYY {};
                struct Space1::Space2::XXX {};

                void testXXX2(Space2::XXX xx) {}
                void testYYY2(Space2::YYY yy) {}
              }

            where xx and yy were not recognised as the proxy classes XXX and YYY.

2012-06-30: wsfulton
            Fix using declarations combined with using directives with forward class declarations so that
            types are correctly found in scope. 

              namespace Outer2 {
                namespace Space2 {
                  class Thing2;
                }
              }
              using namespace Outer2;
              using Space2::Thing2;
              class Thing2 {};
              // None of the methods below correctly used the Thing2 proxy class
              void useit2(Thing2 t) {}
              void useit2a(Outer2::Space2::Thing2 t) {}
              void useit2b(::Outer2::Space2::Thing2 t) {}
              void useit2c(Space2::Thing2 t) {}
              namespace Outer2 {
                void useit2d(Space2::Thing2 t) {}
              }

2012-06-25: wsfulton
            Fix using declarations combined with using directives so that types are correctly found in scope.
            Example:

              namespace Outer2 {
                namespace Space2 {
                  class Thing2 {};
                }
              }
              using namespace Outer2; // using directive
              using Space2::Thing2; // using declaration
              void useit2(Thing2 t) {}

            Similarly for templated classes.

2012-05-29: wsfulton
            Fix #3529601 - seg fault when a protected method has the "director"
            feature but the parent class does not. Also fix similar problems with
            the allprotected feature.

2012-05-28: wsfulton
            Fix seg fault when attempting to warn about an illegal destructor - #3530055, 3530078 and #3530118.
