| Version 4.1.0 (in progress) |
| =========================== |
| |

| [PHP] #2014 Throw exceptions instead of using errors |
| |
| Parameter type errors and some other cases in SWIG-generated wrappers |
| now throw a PHP exception, which is how PHP's native parameter handling |
| deals with similar situations. |
| |

| [Python] #1985 Fix memory leaks: |
| |
| 1. Python object references were being incorrectly retained by |
| SwigPyClientData, causing swig_varlink_dealloc() never to run / free |
| memory. SwigPyClientData_New() / SwigPyClientData_Del() were updated |
| to fix the object reference counting, causing swig_varlink_dealloc() |
| to run and the memory swig_varlink owns to be freed. |
| |
| 2. SwigPyClientData itself was not freed by SwigPyClientData_Del(), |
| causing another heap leak. The required free() was added to |
| SwigPyClientData_Del() |
| |
| 3. Fix reference counting/leak of python cached type query |
| |
| 4. Fix reference counting/leak of SwigPyObject dict (-builtin) |
| |
| 5. Python object reference counting fixes for out-of-memory |
| scenarios were added to: SWIG_Python_RaiseOrModifyTypeError(), |
| SWIG_Python_AppendOutput(), SwigPyClientData_New(), |
| SwigPyObject_get___dict__() and SwigPyObject_format() |
| |
| 6. Add error handling for PyModule_AddObject() to |
| SWIG_Python_SetModule() (failure could be caused by OOM or a name |
| clash caused by malicious code) |

| [PHP] #1982 #1457 https://sourceforge.net/p/swig/bugs/1339/ |
| SWIG now only use PHP's C API to implement its wrappers, and no |
| longer generates PHP code to define classes. The wrappers should |
| be almost entirely compatible with those generated before, but |
| faster and without some previously hard-to-fix bugs. |
| |
| The main notable difference is SWIG no longer generates a .php |
| wrapper at all by default (only if %pragma(php) code=... or |
| %pragma(php) include=... are specified in the interface file). |
| This also means you need to load the module via extension=... |
| in php.ini, rather than letting the dl() in the generated |
| .php wrapper load it (but dl() has only worked for command-line |
| PHP for some years now). |
| |
| *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** |
| |
| 2021-04-30: olly |
| #1984 Remove support for $source and $target. |
| These were officially deprecated in 2001, and attempts to use them have |
| resulted in a warning (including a pointer to what to update them to) |
| for most if not all of that time. |
| |

| #1987 [Java] Fix %interface family of macros for returning by const |
| pointer reference. |
| |
| 2021-04-19: olly |

| empty typecheck typemap, such as the dummy one we include for |
| std::initializer_list. |
| |
| 2021-04-12: olly |
| #1777 [Python] Specifying -py3 now generates a check for Python |
| version >= 3.0. |
| |

| 8.0) to the list SWIG knows to automatically rename. |
| |
| 2021-03-23: wsfulton |
| #1942 [Python] Fix compilation error in wrappers when using -builtin |
| and wrapping varargs in constructors. |
| |
| 2021-03-22: goto40 |

| |
| 2021-03-19: olly |
| #1527 [PHP] Improve PHP object creation in directorin case. |
| Reportedly the code we were using in this case gave segfaults in |
| PHP 7.2 and later - we've been unable to reproduce these, but the |
| new approach is also simpler and should be bit faster too. |
| |
| 2021-03-18: olly |

| corresponding in typemap does. |

| |
| 2020-10-10: lpsinger |

| The complex macro is available in the ccomplex.i library file along with other |
| complex number handling provided by the complex.h header. |
| |
| 2020-10-07: ZackerySpytz |

| |
| 2020-09-25: wsfulton |
| [C#, Java] #1874 Add ability to change the modifiers for the interface |
| generated when using the %interface macros. |
| |
| For C# use the 'csinterfacemodifiers' typemap. |

| |
| %typemap(csinterfacemodifiers) X "internal interface" |

| [Java] #1862 Fix crashes in swig_connect_director during director class construction |
| when using the director class from multiple threads - a race condition initialising |
| block scope static variables. The fix is guaranteed when using C++11, but most |
| compilers also fix it when using C++03/C++98. |
| |
| 2020-08-16: wsfulton |
| [Python] Add missing initializer for member ‘_heaptypeobject::ht_module’ when using |
| -builtin to complete Python 3.9 support. |
| |
| 2020-08-16: wsfulton |

| it automatically now. This removes a deprecation warning when using Python 3.9. |
| |
