Version 4.0.1 (in progress)
===========================

2019-08-01: wsfulton
            #1602 Fix regression in 4.0.0 where a template function containing a parameter
            with the same name as the function name led to the parameter name used in the
            target language being incorrectly modified.

2019-07-29: wsfulton
            Remove all generated files on error. Previously generated files were not removed,
            potentially breaking Makefiles using file dependencies, especially when -Werror
            (warnings as errors) was used.

2019-07-18: cher-nov
            [Python] #1573 Generated Python code uses consistent string quoting style - double
            quotes.

2019-07-16: geefr
            [C#] #616 #1576 Fix C# bool INPUT[], bool OUTPUT[], bool INOUT[] typemaps to marshall
            as 1-byte.

2019-07-12: vadz

2019-07-12: vadz

            trailing comma.

2019-07-11: mcfarljm
            #1548 #1578 Fix segfault in Doxygen parser parsing empty lines in some commands like
            \code.

2019-07-09: IsaacPascual

            for Sphinx compatibility.

2019-06-28: wsfulton
            [MzScheme, OCaml] #1559 $arg and $input were incorrectly substituted in the
            argout typemap when two or more arguments were present.

2019-06-24: wsfulton
            [Python, Ruby] #1538 Remove the UnknownExceptionHandler class in order to be
            C++17 compliant as it uses std::unexpected_handler which was removed in C++17.
            This class was intended for director exception handling but was never used by
            SWIG and was never documented.

            *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***

2019-06-06: bkotzz
