| Starting with version 1.8.0, pybind11 releases use a `semantic versioning
 | |
| <http://semver.org>`_ policy.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Changes will be added here periodically from the "Suggested changelog entry"
 | |
| block in pull request descriptions.

 | |
| 
 | |
| IN DEVELOPMENT
 | |
| --------------
 | |
| 
 | |
| Changes will be summarized here periodically.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Version 2.13.1 (June 26, 2024)
 | |
| ------------------------------
 | |
| 
 | |
| New Features:
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Add support for ``Typing.Callable[..., T]``.
 | |
|   `#5202 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/5202>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| Bug fixes:
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Avoid aligned allocation in free-threaded build in order to support macOS
 | |
|   versions before 10.14.
 | |
|   `#5200 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/5200>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| Version 2.13.0 (June 25, 2024)
 | |
| ------------------------------
 | |
| 
 | |
| New Features:
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Support free-threaded CPython (3.13t). Add ``py::mod_gil_not_used()`` tag to
 | |
|   indicate if a module supports running with the GIL disabled.
 | |
|   `#5148 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/5148>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Support for Python 3.6 was removed. (Official end-of-life: 2021-12-23).
 | |
|   `#5177 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/5177>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * ``py::list`` gained a ``.clear()`` method.
 | |
|   `#5153 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/5153>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| .. feat(types)
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Support for ``Union``, ``Optional``, ``type[T]``, ``typing.TypeGuard``,
 | |
|   ``typing.TypeIs``, ``typing.Never``, ``typing.NoReturn`` and
 | |
|   ``typing.Literal`` was added to ``pybind11/typing.h``.
 | |
|   `#5166 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/5166>`_
 | |
|   `#5165 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/5165>`_
 | |
|   `#5194 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/5194>`_
 | |
|   `#5193 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/5193>`_
 | |
|   `#5192 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/5192>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| .. feat(cmake)
 | |
| 
 | |
| * In CMake, if ``PYBIND11_USE_CROSSCOMPILING`` is enabled, then
 | |
|   ``CMAKE_CROSSCOMPILING`` will be respected and will keep pybind11 from
 | |
|   accessing the interpreter during configuration. Several CMake variables will
 | |
|   be required in this case, but can be deduced from the environment variable
 | |
|   ``SETUPTOOLS_EXT_SUFFIX``. The default (currently ``OFF``) may be changed in
 | |
|   the future.
 | |
|   `#5083 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/5083>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| Bug fixes:
 | |
| 
 | |
| * A refcount bug (leading to heap-use-after-free) involving trampoline
 | |
|   functions with ``PyObject *`` return type was fixed.
 | |
|   `#5156 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/5156>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Return ``py::ssize_t`` from ``.ref_count()`` instead of ``int``.
 | |
|   `#5139 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/5139>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * A subtle bug involving C++ types with unusual ``operator&`` overrides
 | |
|   was fixed.
 | |
|   `#5189 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/5189>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Support Python 3.13 with minor fix, add to CI.
 | |
|   `#5127 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/5127>`_

| * Build docs updated to feature scikit-build-core and meson-python, and updated
 | |
|   setuptools instructions.
 | |
|   `#5168 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/5168>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| Tests:
 | |
| 
 | |

 | |
|   `#5150 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/5150>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| CI:
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Compile against Python 3.13t in CI.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Use ``macos-13`` (Intel) for CI jobs for now (will drop Python 3.7 soon).
 | |
|   `#5109 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/5109>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Releases now have artifact attestations, visible at
 | |
|   https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/attestations.
 | |
|   `#5196 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/5196>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| Other:

 | |
| 
 | |
| Version 2.12.0 (March 27, 2024)
 | |
| -------------------------------
 | |
| 
 | |
| New Features:
 | |
| 
 | |
| * ``pybind11`` now supports compiling for
 | |
|   `NumPy 2 <https://numpy.org/devdocs/numpy_2_0_migration_guide.html>`_. Most
 | |
|   code shouldn't change (see :ref:`upgrade-guide-2.12` for details). However,
 | |
|   if you experience issues you can define ``PYBIND11_NUMPY_1_ONLY`` to disable
 | |
|   the new support for now, but this will be removed in the future.
 | |
|   `#5050 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/5050>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * ``pybind11/gil_safe_call_once.h`` was added (it needs to be included
 | |
|   explicitly). The primary use case is GIL-safe initialization of C++
 | |
|   ``static`` variables.
 | |
|   `#4877 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4877>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Support move-only iterators in ``py::make_iterator``,
 | |
|   ``py::make_key_iterator``, ``py::make_value_iterator``.
 | |
|   `#4834 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4834>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Two simple ``py::set_error()`` functions were added and the documentation was
 | |
|   updated accordingly. In particular, ``py::exception<>::operator()`` was
 | |
|   deprecated (use one of the new functions instead). The documentation for
 | |
|   ``py::exception<>`` was further updated to not suggest code that may result
 | |
|   in undefined behavior.
 | |
|   `#4772 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4772>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| Bug fixes:
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Removes potential for Undefined Behavior during process teardown.
 | |
|   `#4897 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4897>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Improve compatibility with the nvcc compiler (especially CUDA 12.1/12.2).
 | |
|   `#4893 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4893>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * ``pybind11/numpy.h`` now imports NumPy's ``multiarray`` and ``_internal``
 | |
|   submodules with paths depending on the installed version of NumPy (for
 | |
|   compatibility with NumPy 2).
 | |
|   `#4857 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4857>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Builtins collections names in docstrings are now consistently rendered in
 | |
|   lowercase (list, set, dict, tuple), in accordance with PEP 585.
 | |
|   `#4833 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4833>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Added ``py::typing::Iterator<T>``, ``py::typing::Iterable<T>``.
 | |
|   `#4832 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4832>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Render ``py::function`` as ``Callable`` in docstring.
 | |
|   `#4829 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4829>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Also bump ``PYBIND11_INTERNALS_VERSION`` for MSVC, which unlocks two new
 | |
|   features without creating additional incompatibilities.
 | |
|   `#4819 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4819>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Guard against crashes/corruptions caused by modules built with different MSVC
 | |
|   versions.
 | |
|   `#4779 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4779>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * A long-standing bug in the handling of Python multiple inheritance was fixed.
 | |
|   See PR #4762 for the rather complex details.
 | |
|   `#4762 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4762>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Fix ``bind_map`` with ``using`` declarations.
 | |
|   `#4952 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4952>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Qualify ``py::detail::concat`` usage to avoid ADL selecting one from
 | |
|   somewhere else, such as modernjson's concat.
 | |
|   `#4955 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4955>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Use new PyCode API on Python 3.12+.
 | |
|   `#4916 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4916>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Minor cleanup from warnings reported by Clazy.
 | |
|   `#4988 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4988>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Remove typing and duplicate ``class_`` for ``KeysView``/``ValuesView``/``ItemsView``.
 | |
|   `#4985 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4985>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Use ``PyObject_VisitManagedDict()`` and ``PyObject_ClearManagedDict()`` on Python 3.13 and newer.
 | |
|   `#4973 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4973>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Update ``make_static_property_type()`` to make it compatible with Python 3.13.
 | |
|   `#4971 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4971>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| .. fix(types)
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Render typed iterators for ``make_iterator``, ``make_key_iterator``,
 | |
|   ``make_value_iterator``.
 | |
|   `#4876 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4876>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Add several missing type name specializations.
 | |
|   `#5073 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/5073>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Change docstring render for ``py::buffer``, ``py::sequence`` and
 | |
|   ``py::handle`` (to ``Buffer``, ``Sequence``, ``Any``).
 | |
|   `#4831 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4831>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Fixed ``base_enum.__str__`` docstring.
 | |
|   `#4827 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4827>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Enforce single line docstring signatures.
 | |
|   `#4735 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4735>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Special 'typed' wrappers now available in ``typing.h`` to annotate tuple, dict,
 | |
|   list, set, and function.
 | |
|   `#4259 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4259>`_
 | |

 | |
|   `#5051 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/5051>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| .. fix(build)
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Setting ``PYBIND11_FINDPYTHON`` to OFF will force the old FindPythonLibs mechanism to be used.
 | |
|   `#5042 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/5042>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Skip empty ``PYBIND11_PYTHON_EXECUTABLE_LAST`` for the first cmake run.
 | |
|   `#4856 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4856>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Fix FindPython mode exports & avoid ``pkg_resources`` if
 | |
|   ``importlib.metadata`` available.
 | |
|   `#4941 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4941>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * ``Python_ADDITIONAL_VERSIONS`` (classic search) now includes 3.12.
 | |
|   `#4909 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4909>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * ``pybind11.pc`` is now relocatable by default as long as install destinations
 | |
|   are not absolute paths.
 | |
|   `#4830 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4830>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Correctly detect CMake FindPython removal when used as a subdirectory.
 | |
|   `#4806 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4806>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Don't require the libs component on CMake 3.18+ when using
 | |
|   PYBIND11_FINDPYTHON (fixes manylinux builds).
 | |
|   `#4805 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4805>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * ``pybind11_strip`` is no longer automatically applied when
 | |
|   ``CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE`` is unset.
 | |
|   `#4780 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4780>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Support ``DEBUG_POSFIX`` correctly for debug builds.
 | |
|   `#4761 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4761>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Hardcode lto/thin lto for Emscripten cross-compiles.

 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| Version 2.11.1 (July 17, 2023)
 | |
| ------------------------------
 | |
| 
 | |
| Changes:
 | |
| 
 | |
| * ``PYBIND11_NO_ASSERT_GIL_HELD_INCREF_DECREF`` is now provided as an option
 | |
|   for disabling the default-on ``PyGILState_Check()``'s in
 | |
|   ``pybind11::handle``'s ``inc_ref()`` & ``dec_ref()``.
 | |
|   `#4753 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4753>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * ``PYBIND11_ASSERT_GIL_HELD_INCREF_DECREF`` was disabled for PyPy in general
 | |
|   (not just PyPy Windows).
 | |
|   `#4751 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4751>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| Version 2.11.0 (July 14, 2023)
 | |
| ------------------------------
 | |
| 
 | |
| New features:
 | |
| 
 | |
| * The newly added ``pybind11::detail::is_move_constructible`` trait can be
 | |
|   specialized for cases in which ``std::is_move_constructible`` does not work
 | |
|   as needed. This is very similar to the long-established
 | |
|   ``pybind11::detail::is_copy_constructible``.
 | |
|   `#4631 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4631>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Introduce ``recursive_container_traits``.
 | |
|   `#4623 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4623>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * ``pybind11/type_caster_pyobject_ptr.h`` was added to support automatic
 | |
|   wrapping of APIs that make use of ``PyObject *``. This header needs to
 | |
|   included explicitly (i.e. it is not included implicitly
 | |
|   with ``pybind/pybind11.h``).
 | |
|   `#4601 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4601>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * ``format_descriptor<>`` & ``npy_format_descriptor<>`` ``PyObject *``
 | |
|   specializations were added. The latter enables ``py::array_t<PyObject *>``
 | |
|   to/from-python conversions.
 | |
|   `#4674 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4674>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * ``buffer_info`` gained an ``item_type_is_equivalent_to<T>()`` member
 | |
|   function.
 | |
|   `#4674 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4674>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * The ``capsule`` API gained a user-friendly constructor
 | |
|   (``py::capsule(ptr, "name", dtor)``).
 | |
|   `#4720 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4720>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| Changes:
 | |
| 
 | |
| * ``PyGILState_Check()``'s in ``pybind11::handle``'s ``inc_ref()`` &
 | |
|   ``dec_ref()`` are now enabled by default again.
 | |
|   `#4246 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4246>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * ``py::initialize_interpreter()`` using ``PyConfig_InitPythonConfig()``
 | |
|   instead of ``PyConfig_InitIsolatedConfig()``, to obtain complete
 | |
|   ``sys.path``.
 | |
|   `#4473 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4473>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Cast errors now always include Python type information, even if
 | |
|   ``PYBIND11_DETAILED_ERROR_MESSAGES`` is not defined. This increases binary
 | |
|   sizes slightly (~1.5%) but the error messages are much more informative.
 | |
|   `#4463 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4463>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * The docstring generation for the ``std::array``-list caster was fixed.
 | |
|   Previously, signatures included the size of the list in a non-standard,
 | |
|   non-spec compliant way. The new format conforms to PEP 593.
 | |
|   **Tooling for processing the docstrings may need to be updated accordingly.**
 | |
|   `#4679 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4679>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Setter return values (which are inaccessible for all practical purposes) are
 | |
|   no longer converted to Python (only to be discarded).
 | |
|   `#4621 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4621>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Allow lambda specified to function definition to be ``noexcept(true)``
 | |
|   in C++17.
 | |
|   `#4593 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4593>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Get rid of recursive template instantiations for concatenating type
 | |
|   signatures on C++17 and higher.
 | |
|   `#4587 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4587>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Compatibility with Python 3.12 (beta). Note that the minimum pybind11
 | |
|   ABI version for Python 3.12 is version 5. (The default ABI version
 | |
|   for Python versions up to and including 3.11 is still version 4.).
 | |
|   `#4570 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4570>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * With ``PYBIND11_INTERNALS_VERSION 5`` (default for Python 3.12+), MSVC builds
 | |
|   use ``std::hash<std::type_index>`` and ``std::equal_to<std::type_index>``
 | |
|   instead of string-based type comparisons. This resolves issues when binding
 | |
|   types defined in the unnamed namespace.
 | |
|   `#4319 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4319>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Python exception ``__notes__`` (introduced with Python 3.11) are now added to
 | |
|   the ``error_already_set::what()`` output.
 | |
|   `#4678 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4678>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| Build system improvements:
 | |
| 
 | |
| * CMake 3.27 support was added, CMake 3.4 support was dropped.
 | |
|   FindPython will be used if ``FindPythonInterp`` is not present.
 | |
|   `#4719 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4719>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Update clang-tidy to 15 in CI.
 | |
|   `#4387 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4387>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Moved the linting framework over to Ruff.
 | |
|   `#4483 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4483>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Skip ``lto`` checks and target generation when
 | |
|   ``CMAKE_INTERPROCEDURAL_OPTIMIZATION`` is defined.
 | |
|   `#4643 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4643>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * No longer inject ``-stdlib=libc++``, not needed for modern Pythons
 | |
|   (macOS 10.9+).
 | |
|   `#4639 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4639>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * PyPy 3.10 support was added, PyPy 3.7 support was dropped.
 | |
|   `#4728 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4728>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Testing with Python 3.12 beta releases was added.
 | |
|   `#4713 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4713>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| Version 2.10.4 (Mar 16, 2023)
 | |
| -----------------------------
 | |
| 
 | |
| Changes:
 | |
| 
 | |
| * ``python3 -m pybind11`` gained a ``--version`` option (prints the version and
 | |
|   exits).
 | |
|   `#4526 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4526>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| Bug Fixes:
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Fix a warning when pydebug is enabled on Python 3.11.
 | |
|   `#4461 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4461>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Ensure ``gil_scoped_release`` RAII is non-copyable.
 | |
|   `#4490 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4490>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Ensure the tests dir does not show up with new versions of setuptools.
 | |
|   `#4510 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4510>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Better stacklevel for a warning in setuptools helpers.
 | |
|   `#4516 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4516>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| Version 2.10.3 (Jan 3, 2023)
 | |
| ----------------------------
 | |
| 
 | |
| Changes:
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Temporarily made our GIL status assertions (added in 2.10.2) disabled by
 | |
|   default (re-enable manually by defining
 | |
|   ``PYBIND11_ASSERT_GIL_HELD_INCREF_DECREF``, will be enabled in 2.11).
 | |
|   `#4432 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4432>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Improved error messages when ``inc_ref``/``dec_ref`` are called with an
 | |
|   invalid GIL state.
 | |
|   `#4427 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4427>`_
 | |
|   `#4436 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4436>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| Bug Fixes:
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Some minor touchups found by static analyzers.
 | |
|   `#4440 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4440>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| Version 2.10.2 (Dec 20, 2022)
 | |
| -----------------------------
 | |
| 
 | |
| Changes:
 | |
| 
 | |
| * ``scoped_interpreter`` constructor taking ``PyConfig``.
 | |
|   `#4330 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4330>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * ``pybind11/eigen/tensor.h`` adds converters to and from ``Eigen::Tensor`` and
 | |
|   ``Eigen::TensorMap``.
 | |
|   `#4201 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4201>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * ``PyGILState_Check()``'s  were integrated to ``pybind11::handle``
 | |
|   ``inc_ref()`` & ``dec_ref()``. The added GIL checks are guarded by
 | |
|   ``PYBIND11_ASSERT_GIL_HELD_INCREF_DECREF``, which is the default only if
 | |
|   ``NDEBUG`` is not defined. (Made non-default in 2.10.3, will be active in 2.11)
 | |
|   `#4246 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4246>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Add option for enable/disable enum members in docstring.
 | |
|   `#2768 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/2768>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Fixed typing of ``KeysView``, ``ValuesView`` and ``ItemsView`` in ``bind_map``.
 | |
|   `#4353 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4353>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| Bug fixes:
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Bug fix affecting only Python 3.6 under very specific, uncommon conditions:
 | |
|   move ``PyEval_InitThreads()`` call to the correct location.
 | |
|   `#4350 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4350>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Fix segfault bug when passing foreign native functions to functional.h.
 | |
|   `#4254 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4254>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| Build system improvements:
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Support setting PYTHON_LIBRARIES manually for Windows ARM cross-compilation
 | |
|   (classic mode).
 | |
|   `#4406 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4406>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Extend IPO/LTO detection for ICX (a.k.a IntelLLVM) compiler.
 | |
|   `#4402 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4402>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Allow calling ``find_package(pybind11 CONFIG)`` multiple times from separate
 | |
|   directories in the same CMake project and properly link Python (new mode).
 | |
|   `#4401 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4401>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * ``multiprocessing_set_spawn`` in pytest fixture for added safety.
 | |
|   `#4377 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4377>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Fixed a bug in two pybind11/tools cmake scripts causing "Unknown arguments specified" errors.
 | |
|   `#4327 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4327>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| Version 2.10.1 (Oct 31, 2022)
 | |
| -----------------------------
 | |
| 
 | |
| This is the first version to fully support embedding the newly released Python 3.11.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Changes:
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Allow ``pybind11::capsule`` constructor to take null destructor pointers.
 | |
|   `#4221 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4221>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * ``embed.h`` was changed so that ``PYTHONPATH`` is used also with Python 3.11
 | |
|   (established behavior).
 | |
|   `#4119 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4119>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * A ``PYBIND11_SIMPLE_GIL_MANAGEMENT`` option was added (cmake, C++ define),
 | |
|   along with many additional tests in ``test_gil_scoped.py``. The option may be
 | |
|   useful to try when debugging GIL-related issues, to determine if the more
 | |
|   complex default implementation is or is not to blame. See #4216 for
 | |
|   background. WARNING: Please be careful to not create ODR violations when
 | |
|   using the option: everything that is linked together with mutual symbol
 | |
|   visibility needs to be rebuilt.
 | |
|   `#4216 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4216>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * ``PYBIND11_EXPORT_EXCEPTION`` was made non-empty only under macOS. This makes
 | |
|   Linux builds safer, and enables the removal of warning suppression pragmas for
 | |
|   Windows.
 | |
|   `#4298 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4298>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| Bug fixes:
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Fixed a bug where ``UnicodeDecodeError`` was not propagated from various
 | |
|   ``py::str`` ctors when decoding surrogate utf characters.
 | |
|   `#4294 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4294>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Revert perfect forwarding for ``make_iterator``. This broke at least one
 | |
|   valid use case. May revisit later.
 | |
|   `#4234 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4234>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Fix support for safe casts to ``void*`` (regression in 2.10.0).
 | |
|   `#4275 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4275>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Fix ``char8_t`` support (regression in 2.9).
 | |
|   `#4278 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4278>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Unicode surrogate character in Python exception message leads to process
 | |
|   termination in ``error_already_set::what()``.
 | |
|   `#4297 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4297>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Fix MSVC 2019 v.1924 & C++14 mode error for ``overload_cast``.
 | |
|   `#4188 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4188>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Make augmented assignment operators non-const for the object-api. Behavior
 | |
|   was previously broken for augmented assignment operators.
 | |
|   `#4065 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4065>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Add proper error checking to C++ bindings for Python list append and insert.
 | |
|   `#4208 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4208>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Work-around for Nvidia's CUDA nvcc compiler in versions 11.4.0 - 11.8.0.
 | |
|   `#4220 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4220>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * A workaround for PyPy was added in the ``py::error_already_set``
 | |
|   implementation, related to PR `#1895 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/1895>`_
 | |
|   released with v2.10.0.
 | |
|   `#4079 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4079>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Fixed compiler errors when C++23 ``std::forward_like`` is available.
 | |
|   `#4136 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4136>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Properly raise exceptions in contains methods (like when an object in unhashable).
 | |
|   `#4209 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4209>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Further improve another error in exception handling.
 | |
|   `#4232 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4232>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * ``get_local_internals()`` was made compatible with
 | |
|   ``finalize_interpreter()``, fixing potential freezes during interpreter
 | |
|   finalization.
 | |
|   `#4192 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4192>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| Performance and style:
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Reserve space in set and STL map casters if possible. This will prevent
 | |
|   unnecessary rehashing / resizing by knowing the number of keys ahead of time
 | |
|   for Python to C++ casting. This improvement will greatly speed up the casting
 | |
|   of large unordered maps and sets.
 | |
|   `#4194 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4194>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * GIL RAII scopes are non-copyable to avoid potential bugs.
 | |
|   `#4183 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4183>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Explicitly default all relevant ctors for pytypes in the ``PYBIND11_OBJECT``
 | |
|   macros and enforce the clang-tidy checks ``modernize-use-equals-default`` in
 | |
|   macros as well.
 | |
|   `#4017 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4017>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Optimize iterator advancement in C++ bindings.
 | |
|   `#4237 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4237>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Use the modern ``PyObject_GenericGetDict`` and ``PyObject_GenericSetDict``
 | |
|   for handling dynamic attribute dictionaries.
 | |
|   `#4106 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4106>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Document that users should use ``PYBIND11_NAMESPACE`` instead of using ``pybind11`` when
 | |
|   opening namespaces. Using namespace declarations and namespace qualification
 | |
|   remain the same as ``pybind11``. This is done to ensure consistent symbol
 | |
|   visibility.
 | |
|   `#4098 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4098>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Mark ``detail::forward_like`` as constexpr.
 | |
|   `#4147 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4147>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Optimize unpacking_collector when processing ``arg_v`` arguments.
 | |
|   `#4219 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4219>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Optimize casting C++ object to ``None``.
 | |
|   `#4269 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4269>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| Build system improvements:
 | |
| 
 | |
| * CMake: revert overwrite behavior, now opt-in with ``PYBIND11_PYTHONLIBS_OVERRWRITE OFF``.
 | |
|   `#4195 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4195>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Include a pkg-config file when installing pybind11, such as in the Python
 | |
|   package.
 | |
|   `#4077 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4077>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Avoid stripping debug symbols when ``CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE`` is set to ``DEBUG``
 | |
|   instead of ``Debug``.
 | |
|   `#4078 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4078>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Followup to `#3948 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3948>`_, fixing vcpkg again.
 | |
|   `#4123 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4123>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| Version 2.10.0 (Jul 15, 2022)
 | |
| -----------------------------
 | |
| 
 | |
| Removed support for Python 2.7, Python 3.5, and MSVC 2015. Support for MSVC
 | |
| 2017 is limited due to availability of CI runners; we highly recommend MSVC
 | |
| 2019 or 2022 be used. Initial support added for Python 3.11.
 | |
| 
 | |
| New features:
 | |
| 
 | |
| * ``py::anyset`` & ``py::frozenset`` were added, with copying (cast) to
 | |
|   ``std::set`` (similar to ``set``).
 | |
|   `#3901 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3901>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Support bytearray casting to string.
 | |
|   `#3707 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3707>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * ``type_caster<std::monostate>`` was added. ``std::monostate`` is a tag type
 | |
|   that allows ``std::variant`` to act as an optional, or allows default
 | |
|   construction of a ``std::variant`` holding a non-default constructible type.
 | |
|   `#3818 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3818>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * ``pybind11::capsule::set_name`` added to mutate the name of the capsule instance.
 | |
|   `#3866 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3866>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * NumPy: dtype constructor from type number added, accessors corresponding to
 | |
|   Python API ``dtype.num``, ``dtype.byteorder``, ``dtype.flags`` and
 | |
|   ``dtype.alignment`` added.
 | |
|   `#3868 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3868>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| Changes:
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Python 3.6 is now the minimum supported version.
 | |
|   `#3688 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3688>`_
 | |
|   `#3719 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3719>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * The minimum version for MSVC is now 2017.
 | |
|   `#3722 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3722>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Fix issues with CPython 3.11 betas and add to supported test matrix.
 | |
|   `#3923 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3923>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * ``error_already_set`` is now safer and more performant, especially for
 | |
|   exceptions with long tracebacks, by delaying computation.
 | |
|   `#1895 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/1895>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Improve exception handling in python ``str`` bindings.
 | |
|   `#3826 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3826>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * The bindings for capsules now have more consistent exception handling.
 | |
|   `#3825 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3825>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * ``PYBIND11_OBJECT_CVT`` and ``PYBIND11_OBJECT_CVT_DEFAULT`` macro can now be
 | |
|   used to define classes in namespaces other than pybind11.
 | |
|   `#3797 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3797>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Error printing code now uses ``PYBIND11_DETAILED_ERROR_MESSAGES`` instead of
 | |
|   requiring ``NDEBUG``, allowing use with release builds if desired.
 | |
|   `#3913 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3913>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Implicit conversion of the literal ``0`` to ``pybind11::handle`` is now disabled.
 | |
|   `#4008 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4008>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| Bug fixes:
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Fix exception handling when ``pybind11::weakref()`` fails.
 | |
|   `#3739 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3739>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * ``module_::def_submodule`` was missing proper error handling. This is fixed now.
 | |
|   `#3973 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3973>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * The behavior or ``error_already_set`` was made safer and the highly opaque
 | |
|   "Unknown internal error occurred" message was replaced with a more helpful
 | |
|   message.
 | |
|   `#3982 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3982>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * ``error_already_set::what()`` now handles non-normalized exceptions correctly.
 | |
|   `#3971 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3971>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Support older C++ compilers where filesystem is not yet part of the standard
 | |
|   library and is instead included in ``std::experimental::filesystem``.
 | |
|   `#3840 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3840>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Fix ``-Wfree-nonheap-object`` warnings produced by GCC by avoiding returning
 | |
|   pointers to static objects with ``return_value_policy::take_ownership``.
 | |
|   `#3946 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3946>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Fix cast from pytype rvalue to another pytype.
 | |
|   `#3949 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3949>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Ensure proper behavior when garbage collecting classes with dynamic attributes in Python >=3.9.
 | |
|   `#4051 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4051>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * A couple long-standing ``PYBIND11_NAMESPACE``
 | |
|   ``__attribute__((visibility("hidden")))`` inconsistencies are now fixed
 | |
|   (affects only unusual environments).
 | |
|   `#4043 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4043>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * ``pybind11::detail::get_internals()`` is now resilient to in-flight Python
 | |
|   exceptions.
 | |
|   `#3981 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3981>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Arrays with a dimension of size 0 are now properly converted to dynamic Eigen
 | |
|   matrices (more common in NumPy 1.23).
 | |
|   `#4038 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4038>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Avoid catching unrelated errors when importing NumPy.
 | |
|   `#3974 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3974>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| Performance and style:
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Added an accessor overload of ``(object &&key)`` to reference steal the
 | |
|   object when using python types as keys. This prevents unnecessary reference
 | |
|   count overhead for attr, dictionary, tuple, and sequence look ups. Added
 | |
|   additional regression tests. Fixed a performance bug the caused accessor
 | |
|   assignments to potentially perform unnecessary copies.
 | |
|   `#3970 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3970>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Perfect forward all args of ``make_iterator``.
 | |
|   `#3980 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3980>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Avoid potential bug in pycapsule destructor by adding an ``error_guard`` to
 | |
|   one of the dtors.
 | |
|   `#3958 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3958>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Optimize dictionary access in ``strip_padding`` for numpy.
 | |
|   `#3994 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3994>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * ``stl_bind.h`` bindings now take slice args as a const-ref.
 | |
|   `#3852 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3852>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Made slice constructor more consistent, and improve performance of some
 | |
|   casters by allowing reference stealing.
 | |
|   `#3845 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3845>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Change numpy dtype from_args method to use const ref.
 | |
|   `#3878 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3878>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Follow rule of three to ensure ``PyErr_Restore`` is called only once.
 | |
|   `#3872 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3872>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Added missing perfect forwarding for ``make_iterator`` functions.
 | |
|   `#3860 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3860>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Optimize c++ to python function casting by using the rvalue caster.
 | |
|   `#3966 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3966>`_
 | |

 | |
|   ``strdup_gaurd``.
 | |
|   `#3905 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3905>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Enable clang-tidy checks ``misc-definitions-in-headers``,
 | |
|   ``modernize-loop-convert``, and ``modernize-use-nullptr``.
 | |
|   `#3881 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3881>`_
 | |
|   `#3988 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3988>`_

 | |
|   `#3959 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3959>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Add MSVC builds in debug mode to CI.
 | |
|   `#3784 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3784>`_

 | |
|   project may break if it has a transitive dependency on this include. The fix
 | |
|   is to "Include What You Use".
 | |

 | |
| 
 | |
| * ``PYBIND11_TYPE_CASTER`` now uses fully qualified symbols, so it can be used
 | |
|   outside of ``pybind11::detail``.
 | |
|   `#3758 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3758>`_
 | |

 | |
| 
 | |
| * Fix usage of ``VISIBILITY_INLINES_HIDDEN``.
 | |
|   `#3721 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3721>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| Build system improvements:
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Uses ``sysconfig`` module to determine installation locations on Python >=
 | |
|   3.10, instead of ``distutils`` which has been deprecated.
 | |
|   `#3764 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3764>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Support Catch 2.13.5+ (supporting GLIBC 2.34+).
 | |
|   `#3679 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3679>`_
 | |
| 
 | |

 | |
|   ``str()`` of dtypes.
 | |
|   `#3682 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3682>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| Backend and tidying up:
 | |
| 
 | |
| * clang-tidy: added ``readability-qualified-auto``,
 | |
|   ``readability-braces-around-statements``,
 | |
|   ``cppcoreguidelines-prefer-member-initializer``,

 | |
|   `#3709 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3709>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * clang-format was added to the pre-commit actions, and the entire code base
 | |
|   automatically reformatted (after several iterations preparing for this leap).
 | |
|   `#3713 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3713>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| Version 2.9.1 (Feb 2, 2022)
 | |
| ---------------------------
 | |
| 
 | |
| Changes:
 | |
| 
 | |
| * If possible, attach Python exception with ``py::raise_from`` to ``TypeError``
 | |
|   when casting from C++ to Python. This will give additional info if Python
 | |
|   exceptions occur in the caster. Adds a test case of trying to convert a set
 | |
|   from C++ to Python when the hash function is not defined in Python.
 | |
|   `#3605 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3605>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Add a mapping of C++11 nested exceptions to their Python exception
 | |
|   equivalent using ``py::raise_from``. This attaches the nested exceptions in
 | |
|   Python using the ``__cause__`` field.
 | |
|   `#3608 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3608>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Propagate Python exception traceback using ``raise_from`` if a pybind11
 | |
|   function runs out of overloads.
 | |
|   `#3671 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3671>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * ``py::multiple_inheritance`` is now only needed when C++ bases are hidden
 | |
|   from pybind11.
 | |
|   `#3650 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3650>`_ and
 | |
|   `#3659 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3659>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| Bug fixes:
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Remove a boolean cast in ``numpy.h`` that causes MSVC C4800 warnings when
 | |
|   compiling against Python 3.10 or newer.
 | |
|   `#3669 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3669>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Render ``py::bool_`` and ``py::float_`` as ``bool`` and ``float``
 | |
|   respectively.
 | |
|   `#3622 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3622>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| Build system improvements:
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Fix CMake extension suffix computation on Python 3.10+.
 | |
|   `#3663 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3663>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Allow ``CMAKE_ARGS`` to override CMake args in pybind11's own ``setup.py``.
 | |
|   `#3577 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3577>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Remove a few deprecated c-headers.
 | |
|   `#3610 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3610>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * More uniform handling of test targets.
 | |
|   `#3590 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3590>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Add clang-tidy readability check to catch potentially swapped function args.
 | |
|   `#3611 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3611>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| Version 2.9.0 (Dec 28, 2021)
 | |
| ----------------------------
 | |
| 
 | |
| This is the last version to support Python 2.7 and 3.5.
 | |
| 
 | |
| New Features:
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Allow ``py::args`` to be followed by other arguments; the remaining arguments
 | |
|   are implicitly keyword-only, as if a ``py::kw_only{}`` annotation had been
 | |
|   used.
 | |
|   `#3402 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3402>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| Changes:
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Make str/bytes/memoryview more interoperable with ``std::string_view``.
 | |
|   `#3521 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3521>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Replace ``_`` with ``const_name`` in internals, avoid defining ``pybind::_``
 | |
|   if ``_`` defined as macro (common gettext usage)
 | |
|   `#3423 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3423>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| Bug fixes:
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Fix a rare warning about extra copy in an Eigen constructor.
 | |
|   `#3486 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3486>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Fix caching of the C++ overrides.
 | |
|   `#3465 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3465>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Add missing ``std::forward`` calls to some ``cpp_function`` overloads.
 | |
|   `#3443 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3443>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Support PyPy 7.3.7 and the PyPy3.8 beta. Test python-3.11 on PRs with the
 | |
|   ``python dev`` label.
 | |
|   `#3419 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3419>`_
 | |

 | |
|   `#3479 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3479>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * CMake: report version type as part of the version string to avoid a spurious
 | |
|   space in the package status message.
 | |
|   `#3472 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3472>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Flags starting with ``-g`` in ``$CFLAGS`` and ``$CPPFLAGS`` are no longer
 | |
|   overridden by ``.Pybind11Extension``.
 | |
|   `#3436 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3436>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Ensure ThreadPool is closed in ``setup_helpers``.
 | |
|   `#3548 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3548>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Avoid LTS on ``mips64`` and ``ppc64le`` (reported broken).
 | |
|   `#3557 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3557>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| v2.8.1 (Oct 27, 2021)
 | |
| ---------------------
 | |
| 
 | |
| Changes and additions:
 | |
| 
 | |
| * The simple namespace creation shortcut added in 2.8.0 was deprecated due to
 | |
|   usage of CPython internal API, and will be removed soon. Use
 | |
|   ``py::module_::import("types").attr("SimpleNamespace")``.
 | |
|   `#3374 <https://github.com/pybinyyd/pybind11/pull/3374>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Add C++ Exception type to throw and catch ``AttributeError``. Useful for
 | |
|   defining custom ``__setattr__`` and ``__getattr__`` methods.
 | |
|   `#3387 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3387>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| Fixes:
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Fixed the potential for dangling references when using properties with
 | |
|   ``std::optional`` types.
 | |
|   `#3376 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3376>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Modernize usage of ``PyCodeObject`` on Python 3.9+ (moving toward support for
 | |
|   Python 3.11a1)
 | |
|   `#3368 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3368>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * A long-standing bug in ``eigen.h`` was fixed (originally PR #3343). The bug
 | |
|   was unmasked by newly added ``static_assert``'s in the Eigen 3.4.0 release.
 | |
|   `#3352 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3352>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Support multiple raw inclusion of CMake helper files (Conan.io does this for
 | |
|   multi-config generators).
 | |
|   `#3420 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3420>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Fix harmless warning on upcoming CMake 3.22.
 | |
|   `#3368 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3368>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Fix 2.8.0 regression with MSVC 2017 + C++17 mode + Python 3.
 | |
|   `#3407 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3407>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Fix 2.8.0 regression that caused undefined behavior (typically
 | |
|   segfaults) in ``make_key_iterator``/``make_value_iterator`` if dereferencing
 | |
|   the iterator returned a temporary value instead of a reference.
 | |
|   `#3348 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3348>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| v2.8.0 (Oct 4, 2021)
 | |
| --------------------
 | |
| 
 | |
| New features:
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Added ``py::raise_from`` to enable chaining exceptions.
 | |
|   `#3215 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3215>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Allow exception translators to be optionally registered local to a module
 | |
|   instead of applying globally across all pybind11 modules. Use
 | |
|   ``register_local_exception_translator(ExceptionTranslator&& translator)``
 | |
|   instead of  ``register_exception_translator(ExceptionTranslator&&
 | |
|   translator)`` to keep your exception remapping code local to the module.
 | |
|   `#2650 <https://github.com/pybinyyd/pybind11/pull/2650>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Add ``make_simple_namespace`` function for instantiating Python
 | |
|   ``SimpleNamespace`` objects. **Deprecated in 2.8.1.**
 | |
|   `#2840 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/2840>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * ``pybind11::scoped_interpreter`` and ``initialize_interpreter`` have new
 | |
|   arguments to allow ``sys.argv`` initialization.
 | |
|   `#2341 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/2341>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Allow Python builtins to be used as callbacks in CPython.
 | |
|   `#1413 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/1413>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Added ``view`` to view arrays with a different datatype.
 | |
|   `#987 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/987>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Implemented ``reshape`` on arrays.
 | |
|   `#984 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/984>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Enable defining custom ``__new__`` methods on classes by fixing bug
 | |
|   preventing overriding methods if they have non-pybind11 siblings.
 | |
|   `#3265 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3265>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Add ``make_value_iterator()``, and fix ``make_key_iterator()`` to return
 | |
|   references instead of copies.
 | |
|   `#3293 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3293>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Improve the classes generated by ``bind_map``: `#3310 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3310>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
|   * Change ``.items`` from an iterator to a dictionary view.
 | |
|   * Add ``.keys`` and ``.values`` (both dictionary views).
 | |
|   * Allow ``__contains__`` to take any object.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * ``pybind11::custom_type_setup`` was added, for customizing the
 | |
|   ``PyHeapTypeObject`` corresponding to a class, which may be useful for
 | |
|   enabling garbage collection support, among other things.
 | |
|   `#3287 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3287>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| Changes:
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Set ``__file__`` constant when running ``eval_file`` in an embedded interpreter.
 | |
|   `#3233 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3233>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Python objects and (C++17) ``std::optional`` now accepted in ``py::slice``
 | |
|   constructor.
 | |
|   `#1101 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/1101>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * The pybind11 proxy types ``str``, ``bytes``, ``bytearray``, ``tuple``,
 | |
|   ``list`` now consistently support passing ``ssize_t`` values for sizes and
 | |
|   indexes. Previously, only ``size_t`` was accepted in several interfaces.
 | |
|   `#3219 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3219>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Avoid evaluating ``PYBIND11_TLS_REPLACE_VALUE`` arguments more than once.
 | |
|   `#3290 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3290>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| Fixes:
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Bug fix: enum value's ``__int__`` returning non-int when underlying type is
 | |
|   bool or of char type.
 | |
|   `#1334 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/1334>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Fixes bug in setting error state in Capsule's pointer methods.
 | |
|   `#3261 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3261>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * A long-standing memory leak in ``py::cpp_function::initialize`` was fixed.
 | |
|   `#3229 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3229>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Fixes thread safety for some ``pybind11::type_caster`` which require lifetime
 | |
|   extension, such as for ``std::string_view``.
 | |
|   `#3237 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3237>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Restore compatibility with gcc 4.8.4 as distributed by ubuntu-trusty, linuxmint-17.
 | |
|   `#3270 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3270>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| Build system improvements:
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Fix regression in CMake Python package config: improper use of absolute path.
 | |
|   `#3144 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3144>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Cached Python version information could become stale when CMake was re-run
 | |
|   with a different Python version. The build system now detects this and
 | |
|   updates this information.
 | |
|   `#3299 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3299>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Specified UTF8-encoding in setup.py calls of open().
 | |
|   `#3137 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3137>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Fix a harmless warning from CMake 3.21 with the classic Python discovery.
 | |
|   `#3220 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3220>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Eigen repo and version can now be specified as cmake options.
 | |
|   `#3324 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3324>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| Backend and tidying up:
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Reduced thread-local storage required for keeping alive temporary data for
 | |
|   type conversion to one key per ABI version, rather than one key per extension
 | |
|   module.  This makes the total thread-local storage required by pybind11 2
 | |
|   keys per ABI version.
 | |
|   `#3275 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3275>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Optimize NumPy array construction with additional moves.
 | |
|   `#3183 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3183>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Conversion to ``std::string`` and ``std::string_view`` now avoids making an
 | |
|   extra copy of the data on Python >= 3.3.
 | |
|   `#3257 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3257>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Remove const modifier from certain C++ methods on Python collections
 | |
|   (``list``, ``set``, ``dict``) such as (``clear()``, ``append()``,
 | |
|   ``insert()``, etc...) and annotated them with ``py-non-const``.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Enable readability ``clang-tidy-const-return`` and remove useless consts.
 | |
|   `#3254 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3254>`_
 | |
|   `#3194 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3194>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * The clang-tidy ``google-explicit-constructor`` option was enabled.
 | |
|   `#3250 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3250>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Mark a pytype move constructor as noexcept (perf).
 | |
|   `#3236 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3236>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Enable clang-tidy check to guard against inheritance slicing.
 | |
|   `#3210 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3210>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Legacy warning suppression pragma were removed from eigen.h. On Unix
 | |
|   platforms, please use -isystem for Eigen include directories, to suppress
 | |
|   compiler warnings originating from Eigen headers. Note that CMake does this
 | |
|   by default. No adjustments are needed for Windows.
 | |
|   `#3198 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3198>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Format pybind11 with isort consistent ordering of imports
 | |
|   `#3195 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3195>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * The warnings-suppression "pragma clamp" at the top/bottom of pybind11 was
 | |
|   removed, clearing the path to refactoring and IWYU cleanup.
 | |
|   `#3186 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3186>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Enable most bugprone checks in clang-tidy and fix the found potential bugs
 | |
|   and poor coding styles.
 | |
|   `#3166 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3166>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Add ``clang-tidy-readability`` rules to make boolean casts explicit improving
 | |
|   code readability. Also enabled other misc and readability clang-tidy checks.
 | |
|   `#3148 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3148>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Move object in ``.pop()`` for list.

 | |
| 
 | |
| * Fix Mingw64 and add to the CI testing matrix.
 | |
|   `#3132 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3132>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Specified UTF8-encoding in setup.py calls of open().

| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| v2.7.0 (Jul 16, 2021)
 | |
| ---------------------
 | |
| 
 | |
| New features:
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Enable ``py::implicitly_convertible<py::none, ...>`` for
 | |
|   ``py::class_``-wrapped types.
 | |
|   `#3059 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3059>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Allow function pointer extraction from overloaded functions.
 | |
|   `#2944 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/2944>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * NumPy: added ``.char_()`` to type which gives the NumPy public ``char``
 | |
|   result, which also distinguishes types by bit length (unlike ``.kind()``).
 | |
|   `#2864 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/2864>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Add ``pybind11::bytearray`` to manipulate ``bytearray`` similar to ``bytes``.
 | |
|   `#2799 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/2799>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * ``pybind11/stl/filesystem.h`` registers a type caster that, on C++17/Python
 | |
|   3.6+, converts ``std::filesystem::path`` to ``pathlib.Path`` and any
 | |
|   ``os.PathLike`` to ``std::filesystem::path``.
 | |
|   `#2730 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/2730>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * A ``PYBIND11_VERSION_HEX`` define was added, similar to ``PY_VERSION_HEX``.
 | |
|   `#3120 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3120>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| Changes:
 | |
| 
 | |
| * ``py::str`` changed to exclusively hold ``PyUnicodeObject``. Previously
 | |
|   ``py::str`` could also hold ``bytes``, which is probably surprising, was
 | |
|   never documented, and can mask bugs (e.g. accidental use of ``py::str``
 | |
|   instead of ``py::bytes``).
 | |
|   `#2409 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/2409>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Add a safety guard to ensure that the Python GIL is held when C++ calls back
 | |
|   into Python via ``object_api<>::operator()`` (e.g. ``py::function``
 | |
|   ``__call__``).  (This feature is available for Python 3.6+ only.)
 | |
|   `#2919 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/2919>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Catch a missing ``self`` argument in calls to ``__init__()``.
 | |
|   `#2914 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/2914>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Use ``std::string_view`` if available to avoid a copy when passing an object
 | |
|   to a ``std::ostream``.
 | |
|   `#3042 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3042>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * An important warning about thread safety was added to the ``iostream.h``
 | |
|   documentation; attempts to make ``py::scoped_ostream_redirect`` thread safe
 | |
|   have been removed, as it was only partially effective.
 | |
|   `#2995 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/2995>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| Fixes:
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Performance: avoid unnecessary strlen calls.
 | |
|   `#3058 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3058>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Fix auto-generated documentation string when using ``const T`` in
 | |
|   ``pyarray_t``.
 | |
|   `#3020 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3020>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Unify error messages thrown by ``simple_collector``/``unpacking_collector``.
 | |
|   `#3013 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3013>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * ``pybind11::builtin_exception`` is now explicitly exported, which means the
 | |
|   types included/defined in different modules are identical, and exceptions
 | |
|   raised in different modules can be caught correctly. The documentation was
 | |
|   updated to explain that custom exceptions that are used across module
 | |
|   boundaries need to be explicitly exported as well.
 | |
|   `#2999 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/2999>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Fixed exception when printing UTF-8 to a ``scoped_ostream_redirect``.
 | |
|   `#2982 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/2982>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Pickle support enhancement: ``setstate`` implementation will attempt to
 | |
|   ``setattr`` ``__dict__`` only if the unpickled ``dict`` object is not empty,
 | |
|   to not force use of ``py::dynamic_attr()`` unnecessarily.
 | |
|   `#2972 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/2972>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Allow negative timedelta values to roundtrip.
 | |
|   `#2870 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/2870>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Fix unchecked errors could potentially swallow signals/other exceptions.
 | |
|   `#2863 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/2863>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Add null pointer check with ``std::localtime``.
 | |
|   `#2846 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/2846>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Fix the ``weakref`` constructor from ``py::object`` to create a new
 | |
|   ``weakref`` on conversion.
 | |
|   `#2832 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/2832>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Avoid relying on exceptions in C++17 when getting a ``shared_ptr`` holder
 | |
|   from a ``shared_from_this`` class.
 | |
|   `#2819 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/2819>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Allow the codec's exception to be raised instead of :code:`RuntimeError` when
 | |
|   casting from :code:`py::str` to :code:`std::string`.
 | |
|   `#2903 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/2903>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| Build system improvements:
 | |
| 
 | |
| * In ``setup_helpers.py``, test for platforms that have some multiprocessing
 | |
|   features but lack semaphores, which ``ParallelCompile`` requires.
 | |
|   `#3043 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3043>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Fix ``pybind11_INCLUDE_DIR`` in case ``CMAKE_INSTALL_INCLUDEDIR`` is
 | |
|   absolute.
 | |
|   `#3005 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3005>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Fix bug not respecting ``WITH_SOABI`` or ``WITHOUT_SOABI`` to CMake.
 | |
|   `#2938 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/2938>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Fix the default ``Pybind11Extension`` compilation flags with a Mingw64 python.
 | |
|   `#2921 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/2921>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Clang on Windows: do not pass ``/MP`` (ignored flag).
 | |
|   `#2824 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/2824>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * ``pybind11.setup_helpers.intree_extensions`` can be used to generate
 | |
|   ``Pybind11Extension`` instances from cpp files placed in the Python package
 | |
|   source tree.
 | |
|   `#2831 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/2831>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| Backend and tidying up:
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Enable clang-tidy performance, readability, and modernization checks
 | |
|   throughout the codebase to enforce best coding practices.
 | |
|   `#3046 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3046>`_,
 | |
|   `#3049 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3049>`_,
 | |
|   `#3051 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3051>`_,
 | |
|   `#3052 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3052>`_,
 | |
|   `#3080 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3080>`_, and
 | |
|   `#3094 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3094>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Checks for common misspellings were added to the pre-commit hooks.
 | |
|   `#3076 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3076>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Changed ``Werror`` to stricter ``Werror-all`` for Intel compiler and fixed
 | |
|   minor issues.
 | |
|   `#2948 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/2948>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Fixed compilation with GCC < 5 when the user defines ``_GLIBCXX_USE_CXX11_ABI``.
 | |
|   `#2956 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/2956>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Added nox support for easier local testing and linting of contributions.
 | |
|   `#3101 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3101>`_ and
 | |
|   `#3121 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3121>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Avoid RTD style issue with docutils 0.17+.
 | |
|   `#3119 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3119>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Support pipx run, such as ``pipx run pybind11 --include`` for a quick compile.
 | |
|   `#3117 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3117>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| 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>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| Fixed or improved behavior in a few special cases:
 | |
| 
 | |
| * 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>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * 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>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| 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:
 | |
| 
 | |
| * 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:
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Fix invalid access when calling a pybind11 ``__init__`` on a non-pybind11
 | |
|   class instance.
 | |
|   `#2755 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/2755>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * 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>`_
 | |
| 
 | |
| * ``std::chrono::time_point`` now works when the resolution is not the same as
 | |
|   the system.
 | |

 | |
| 
 | |

 | |
|   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

| 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>`_.

 | |
|   `#2053 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/2053>`_.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * STL bindings for ``std::vector<...>::clear``. `#2074
 | |
|   <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 error handling in the boolean caster.
 | |
|   `#1976 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/1976>`_.
 | |
| 
 | |
| 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>`_.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Made an ifdef future-proof for Python >= 4. `f3109d
 | |
|   <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/commit/f3109d>`_.
 | |
| 
 | |
| v2.4.1 (Sep 20, 2019)
 | |
| -----------------------------------------------------
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Fixed a problem involving implicit conversion from enumerations to integers
 | |
|   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++)
 | |

 | |
| 
 | |
| 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.
 | |
|   `#1571 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/1571>`_.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * 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>`_,
 | |
|   `#1744 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/1744>`_,
 | |
|   `#1670 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/1670>`_.
 | |
| 
 | |
| 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>`_,
 | |
|   `#1517 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/1517>`_.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Fixes for newer MSVC versions and C++17 mode.
 | |
|   `#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>`_,
 | |

 | |
|   `#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
 | |
|

|           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>`_,

 | |
| 
 | |
| 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>`_.
 | |
|

| 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
