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

2021-04-19: olly
	    Fix use of uninitialised variable in the generated code for an
	    empty typecheck typemap, such as the dummy one we include for
	    std::initializer_list.

2021-04-12: 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
	    #1655 [PHP] Fix char* typecheck typemap to accept PHP Null like the
	    corresponding in typemap does.

2020-10-10: lpsinger
            #1770 Correct C complex support.
            _Complex is now parsed as a keyword rather than complex as per the C99 standard.
            The complex macro is available in the ccomplex.i library file along with other
            complex number handling provided by the complex.h header.

            [C#, Java] #1874 Add ability to change the modifiers for the interface
            generated when using the %interface macros.

            For C# use the 'csinterfacemodifiers' typemap.
            For Java use the 'javainterfacemodifiers' typemap.

            For example:

              %typemap(csinterfacemodifiers) X "internal interface"


2020-09-24: geefr
            [C#] #1868 Fix wchar_t* csvarout typemap for member variable wrappers.

2020-08-28: wsfulton
            [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.

            [Python] All Python examples and tests are written to be Python 2 and Python 3
            compatible, removing the need for 2to3 to run the examples or test-suite.

2020-08-13: wsfulton
            [C#] Add support for void *VOID_INT_PTR for member variables.

2020-07-29: chrisburr
            #1843 [Python] Compilation error fix in SwigPyBuiltin_SetMetaType when using PyPy.

2020-06-14: ZackerySpytz
            #1642 #1809 Fix virtual comparison operators in director classes - remove incorrect
            space in the function name, for example, operator= = is now operator==.
