Support for MSVC +2017 is limited due to availability of CI runners; we highly recommend MSVC +2019 or 2022 be used. + +New features: + +* ``type_caster`` 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 `_ + +* Support bytearray casting to string. + `#3707 `_ + +Changes: + +* Python 2 support was removed completely. + `#3688 `_ + +* The minimum version for MSVC is now 2017. + `#3722 `_ + +* Improve exception handling in python ``str`` bindings. + `#3826 `_ + +* The bindings for capsules now have more consistent exception handling. + `#3825 `_ + +* Fix exception handling when ``pybind11::weakref()`` fails. + `#3739 `_ + + +Bug fixes: + +* ``PYBIND11_OBJECT_CVT`` and ``PYBIND11_OBJECT_CVT_DEFAULT`` macro can be used + to define classes in namespaces other than pybind11. + `#3797 `_ + +Build system improvements: + +* Add MSVC builds in debug mode to CI. + `#3784 `_ + +* MSVC 2022 C++20 coverage was added to GitHub Actions, including Eigen. + `#3732 `_, + `#3741 `_ + +* Avoid ``setup.py `` usage in internal tests. + `#3734 `_ + + +Backend and tidying up: + +* Remove idioms in code comments. Use inclusive language. + `#3809 `_ + + +Version 2.9.2 (Mar 29, 2022) +---------------------------- + +Changes: + +* Enum now has an ``__index__`` method on Python <3.8 too. + `#3700 `_ + +* Local internals are now cleared after finalizing the interpreter. + `#3744 `_ + +Bug fixes: + +* Better support for Python 3.11 alphas. + `#3694 `_ + +* ``PYBIND11_TYPE_CASTER`` now uses fully qualified symbols, so it can be used + outside of ``pybind11::detail``. + `#3758 `_ + +* Some fixes for PyPy 3.9. + `#3768 `_ + +* Fixed a potential memleak in PyPy in ``get_type_override``. + `#3774 `_ + +* Fix usage of ``VISIBILITY_INLINES_HIDDEN``. + `#3721 `_ + + +Build system improvements: + +* Uses ``sysconfig`` module to determine installation locations on Python >= + 3.10, instead of ``distutils`` which has been deprecated. + `#3764 `_ + +* Support Catch 2.13.5+ (supporting GLIBC 2.34+). + `#3679 `_ + +* Fix test failures with numpy 1.22 by ignoring whitespace when comparing + ``str()`` of dtypes. + `#3682 `_ + + +Backend and tidying up: + +* clang-tidy: added ``readability-qualified-auto``, + ``readability-braces-around-statements``, + ``cppcoreguidelines-prefer-member-initializer``, + ``clang-analyzer-optin.performance.Padding``, + ``cppcoreguidelines-pro-type-static-cast-downcast``, and + ``readability-inconsistent-declaration-parameter-name``. + `#3702 `_, + `#3699 `_, + `#3716 `_, + `#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 `_ + + +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 `_ + +* 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 `_ + +* Propagate Python exception traceback using ``raise_from`` if a pybind11 + function runs out of overloads. + `#3671 `_ + +* ``py::multiple_inheritance`` is now only needed when C++ bases are hidden + from pybind11. + `#3650 `_ and + `#3659 `_ + + +Bug fixes: + +* Remove a boolean cast in ``numpy.h`` that causes MSVC C4800 warnings when + compiling against Python 3.10 or newer. + `#3669 `_ + +* Render ``py::bool_`` and ``py::float_`` as ``bool`` and ``float`` + respectively. + `#3622 `_ + +Build system improvements: + +* Fix CMake extension suffix computation on Python 3.10+. + `#3663 `_ + +* Allow ``CMAKE_ARGS`` to override CMake args in pybind11's own ``setup.py``. + `#3577 `_ + +* Remove a few deprecated c-headers. + `#3610 `_ + +* More uniform handling of test targets. + `#3590 `_ + +* Add clang-tidy readability check to catch potentially swapped function args. + `#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 `_ + +Changes: + +* Make str/bytes/memoryview more interoperable with ``std::string_view``. + `#3521 `_ + +* Replace ``_`` with ``const_name`` in internals, avoid defining ``pybind::_`` + if ``_`` defined as macro (common gettext usage) + `#3423 `_ + + +Bug fixes: + +* Fix a rare warning about extra copy in an Eigen constructor. + `#3486 `_ + +* Fix caching of the C++ overrides. + `#3465 `_ + +* Add missing ``std::forward`` calls to some ``cpp_function`` overloads. + `#3443 `_ + +* Support PyPy 7.3.7 and the PyPy3.8 beta.

Use + ``py::module_::import("types").attr("SimpleNamespace")``. + `#3374 `_ + +* Add C++ Exception type to throw and catch ``AttributeError``. Useful for + defining custom ``__setattr__`` and ``__getattr__`` methods. + `#3387 `_ + +Fixes: + +* Fixed the potential for dangling references when using properties with + ``std::optional`` types. + `#3376 `_ + +* Modernize usage of ``PyCodeObject`` on Python 3.9+ (moving toward support for + Python 3.11a1) + `#3368 `_ + +* A long-standing bug in ``eigen.h`` was fixed (originally PR #3343).

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 `_ + +* Add ``make_simple_namespace`` function for instantiating Python + ``SimpleNamespace`` objects. **Deprecated in 2.8.1.** + `#2840 `_ + +* ``pybind11::scoped_interpreter`` and ``initialize_interpreter`` have new + arguments to allow ``sys.argv`` initialization. + `#2341 `_ + +* Allow Python builtins to be used as callbacks in CPython. + `#1413 `_ + +* Added ``view`` to view arrays with a different datatype. + `#987 `_ + +* Implemented ``reshape`` on arrays. + `#984 `_ + +* Enable defining custom ``__new__`` methods on classes by fixing bug + preventing overriding methods if they have non-pybind11 siblings. + `#3265 `_ + +* Add ``make_value_iterator()``, and fix ``make_key_iterator()`` to return + references instead of copies. + `#3293 `_ + +* Improve the classes generated by ``bind_map``: `#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 `_ + + +Changes: + +* Set ``__file__`` constant when running ``eval_file`` in an embedded interpreter. + `#3233 `_ + +* Python objects and (C++17) ``std::optional`` now accepted in ``py::slice`` + constructor. + `#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 `_ + +* Avoid evaluating ``PYBIND11_TLS_REPLACE_VALUE`` arguments more than once. + `#3290 `_ + +Fixes: + +* Bug fix: enum value's ``__int__`` returning non-int when underlying type is + bool or of char type. + `#1334 `_ + +* Fixes bug in setting error state in Capsule's pointer methods. + `#3261 `_ + +* A long-standing memory leak in ``py::cpp_function::initialize`` was fixed. + `#3229 `_ + +* Fixes thread safety for some ``pybind11::type_caster`` which require lifetime + extension, such as for ``std::string_view``. + `#3237 `_ + +* Restore compatibility with gcc 4.8.4 as distributed by ubuntu-trusty, linuxmint-17. + `#3270 `_ + + +Build system improvements: + +* Fix regression in CMake Python package config: improper use of absolute path. + `#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 `_ + +* Specified UTF8-encoding in setup.py calls of open(). + `#3137 `_ + +* Fix a harmless warning from CMake 3.21 with the classic Python discovery. + `#3220 `_ + +* Eigen repo and version can now be specified as cmake options. + `#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 `_ + +* Optimize NumPy array construction with additional moves. + `#3183 `_ + +* Conversion to ``std::string`` and ``std::string_view`` now avoids making an + extra copy of the data on Python >= 3.3. + `#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 `_ + `#3194 `_ + +* The clang-tidy ``google-explicit-constructor`` option was enabled. + `#3250 `_ + +* Mark a pytype move constructor as noexcept (perf). + `#3236 `_ + +* Enable clang-tidy check to guard against inheritance slicing. + `#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 `_ + +* Format pybind11 with isort consistent ordering of imports + `#3195 `_ + +* The warnings-suppression "pragma clamp" at the top/bottom of pybind11 was + removed, clearing the path to refactoring and IWYU cleanup. + `#3186 `_ + +* Enable most bugprone checks in clang-tidy and fix the found potential bugs + and poor coding styles. + `#3166 `_ + +* Add ``clang-tidy-readability`` rules to make boolean casts explicit improving + code readability. Also enabled other misc and readability clang-tidy checks. + `#3148 `_ + +* Move object in ``.pop()`` for list. + `#3116 `_ + + + + +v2.7.1 (Aug 3, 2021) +--------------------- + +Minor missing functionality added: + +* Allow Python builtins to be used as callbacks in CPython. + `#1413 `_ + +Bug fixes: + +* Fix regression in CMake Python package config: improper use of absolute path. + `#3144 `_ + +* Fix Mingw64 and add to the CI testing matrix. + `#3132 `_ + +* Specified UTF8-encoding in setup.py calls of open(). + `#3137 `_ + +* Add clang-tidy-readability rules to make boolean casts explicit improving + code readability. Also enabled other misc and readability clang-tidy checks. + `#3148 `_ + +* Move object in ``.pop()`` for list. + `#3116 `_ + +Backend and tidying up: + +* Removed and fixed warning suppressions. + `#3127 `_ + `#3129 `_ + `#3135 `_ + `#3141 `_ + `#3142 `_ + `#3150 `_ + `#3152 `_ + `#3160 `_ + `#3161 `_ + + +v2.7.0 (Jul 16, 2021) +--------------------- + +New features: + +* Enable ``py::implicitly_convertible`` for + ``py::class_``-wrapped types. + `#3059 `_ + +* Allow function pointer extraction from overloaded functions. + `#2944 `_ + +* NumPy: added ``.char_()`` to type which gives the NumPy public ``char`` + result, which also distinguishes types by bit length (unlike ``.kind()``). + `#2864 `_ + +* Add ``pybind11::bytearray`` to manipulate ``bytearray`` similar to ``bytes``. + `#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 `_ + +* A ``PYBIND11_VERSION_HEX`` define was added, similar to ``PY_VERSION_HEX``. + `#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 `_ + +* 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 `_ + +* Catch a missing ``self`` argument in calls to ``__init__()``. + `#2914 `_ + +* Use ``std::string_view`` if available to avoid a copy when passing an object + to a ``std::ostream``. + `#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 `_ + + +Fixes: + +* Performance: avoid unnecessary strlen calls. + `#3058 `_ + +* Fix auto-generated documentation string when using ``const T`` in + ``pyarray_t``. + `#3020 `_ + +* Unify error messages thrown by ``simple_collector``/``unpacking_collector``. + `#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 `_ + +* Fixed exception when printing UTF-8 to a ``scoped_ostream_redirect``. + `#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 `_ + +* Allow negative timedelta values to roundtrip. + `#2870 `_ + +* Fix unchecked errors could potentially swallow signals/other exceptions. + `#2863 `_ + +* Add null pointer check with ``std::localtime``. + `#2846 `_ + +* Fix the ``weakref`` constructor from ``py::object`` to create a new + ``weakref`` on conversion. + `#2832 `_ + +* Avoid relying on exceptions in C++17 when getting a ``shared_ptr`` holder + from a ``shared_from_this`` class. + `#2819 `_ + +* Allow the codec's exception to be raised instead of :code:`RuntimeError` when + casting from :code:`py::str` to :code:`std::string`. + `#2903 `_ + + +Build system improvements: + +* In ``setup_helpers.py``, test for platforms that have some multiprocessing + features but lack semaphores, which ``ParallelCompile`` requires. + `#3043 `_ + +* Fix ``pybind11_INCLUDE_DIR`` in case ``CMAKE_INSTALL_INCLUDEDIR`` is + absolute. + `#3005 `_ + +* Fix bug not respecting ``WITH_SOABI`` or ``WITHOUT_SOABI`` to CMake. + `#2938 `_ + +* Fix the default ``Pybind11Extension`` compilation flags with a Mingw64 python. + `#2921 `_ + +* Clang on Windows: do not pass ``/MP`` (ignored flag). + `#2824 `_ + +* ``pybind11.setup_helpers.intree_extensions`` can be used to generate + ``Pybind11Extension`` instances from cpp files placed in the Python package + source tree. + `#2831 `_ + +Backend and tidying up: + +* Enable clang-tidy performance, readability, and modernization checks + throughout the codebase to enforce best coding practices. + `#3046 `_, + `#3049 `_, + `#3051 `_, + `#3052 `_, + `#3080 `_, and + `#3094 `_ + + +* Checks for common misspellings were added to the pre-commit hooks. + `#3076 `_ + +* Changed ``Werror`` to stricter ``Werror-all`` for Intel compiler and fixed + minor issues. + `#2948 `_ + +* Fixed compilation with GCC < 5 when the user defines ``_GLIBCXX_USE_CXX11_ABI``. + `#2956 `_ + +* Added nox support for easier local testing and linting of contributions. + `#3101 `_ and + `#3121 `_ + +* Avoid RTD style issue with docutils 0.17+. + `#3119 `_ + +* Support pipx run, such as ``pipx run pybind11 --include`` for a quick compile. + `#3117 `_ + + + +v2.6.2 (Jan 26, 2021) +--------------------- + +Minor missing functionality added: + +* enum: add missing Enum.value property. + `#2739 `_ + +* Allow thread termination to be avoided during shutdown for CPython 3.7+ via + ``.disarm`` for ``gil_scoped_acquire``/``gil_scoped_release``. + `#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 `_ + +* The ``type_caster`` for integers does not convert Python objects with + ``__int__`` anymore with ``noconvert`` or during the first round of trying + overloads. + `#2698 `_ + +* When casting to a C++ integer, ``__index__`` is always called and not + considered as conversion, consistent with Python 3.8+. + `#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 `_ + +* Setup helpers: Don't trigger unused parameter warning. + `#2735 `_ + +* CMake: Support running with ``--warn-uninitialized`` active. + `#2806 `_ + +* CMake: Avoid error if included from two submodule directories. + `#2804 `_ + +* CMake: Fix ``STATIC`` / ``SHARED`` being ignored in FindPython mode. + `#2796 `_ + +* CMake: Respect the setting for ``CMAKE_CXX_VISIBILITY_PRESET`` if defined. + `#2793 `_ + +* CMake: Fix issue with FindPython2/FindPython3 not working with ``pybind11::embed``. + `#2662 `_ + +* CMake: mixing local and installed pybind11's would prioritize the installed + one over the local one (regression in 2.6.0). + `#2716 `_ + + +Bug fixes: + +* Fixed segfault in multithreaded environments when using + ``scoped_ostream_redirect``. + `#2675 `_ + +* Leave docstring unset when all docstring-related options are disabled, rather + than set an empty string. + `#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 `_ + +* Fixed assertion error related to unhandled (later overwritten) exception in + CPython 3.8 and 3.9 debug builds. + `#2685 `_ + +* Fix ``py::gil_scoped_acquire`` assert with CPython 3.9 debug build. + `#2683 `_ + +* Fix issue with a test failing on pytest 6.2. + `#2741 `_ + +Warning fixes: + +* Fix warning modifying constructor parameter 'flag' that shadows a field of + 'set_flag' ``[-Wshadow-field-in-constructor-modified]``. + `#2780 `_ + +* Suppressed some deprecation warnings about old-style + ``__init__``/``__setstate__`` in the tests. + `#2759 `_ + +Valgrind work: + +* Fix invalid access when calling a pybind11 ``__init__`` on a non-pybind11 + class instance. + `#2755 `_ + +* Fixed various minor memory leaks in pybind11's test suite. + `#2758 `_ + +* Resolved memory leak in cpp_function initialization when exceptions occurred. + `#2756 `_ + +* Added a Valgrind build, checking for leaks and memory-related UB, to CI. + `#2746 `_ + +Compiler support: + +* Intel compiler was not activating C++14 support due to a broken define. + `#2679 `_ + +* Support ICC and NVIDIA HPC SDK in C++17 mode. + `#2729 `_ + +* Support Intel OneAPI compiler (ICC 20.2) and add to CI. + `#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 `_ + +* ``setup_helpers`` will no longer set a minimum macOS version higher than the + current version. + `#2622 `_ + +* Allow deleting static properties. + `#2629 `_ + +* Seal a leak in ``def_buffer``, cleaning up the ``capture`` object after the + ``class_`` object goes out of scope. + `#2634 `_ + +* ``pybind11_INCLUDE_DIRS`` was incorrect, potentially causing a regression if + it was expected to include ``PYTHON_INCLUDE_DIRS`` (please use targets + instead). + `#2636 `_ + +* Added parameter names to the ``py::enum_`` constructor and methods, avoiding + ``arg0`` in the generated docstrings. + `#2637 `_ + +* Added ``needs_recompile`` optional function to the ``ParallelCompiler`` + helper, to allow a recompile to be skipped based on a user-defined function. + `#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 `_ + +* Positional-only arguments supported in Python 2 or 3 with ``py::pos_only()``. + `#2459 `_ + +* ``py::is_final()`` class modifier to block subclassing (CPython only). + `#2151 `_ + +* Added ``py::prepend()``, allowing a function to be placed at the beginning of + the overload chain. + `#1131 `_ + +* Access to the type object now provided with ``py::type::of()`` and + ``py::type::of(h)``. + `#2364 `_ + +* Perfect forwarding support for methods. + `#2048 `_ + +* Added ``py::error_already_set::discard_as_unraisable()``. + `#2372 `_ + +* ``py::hash`` is now public. + `#2217 `_ + +* ``py::class_`` 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 `_. + +* 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 `_ + +Code correctness features: + +* Error now thrown when ``__init__`` is forgotten on subclasses. + `#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 `_ + +* Throw if conversion to ``str`` fails. + `#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 `_ + +* 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 `_ + +* ``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 `_ + +Packaging / building improvements: + +* The Python package was reworked to be more powerful and useful. + `#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.

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 `_. + +* 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 `_. + +* Significant work on the documentation -- in particular, the monolithic + ``advanced.rst`` file was restructured into a easier to read hierarchical + organization. `#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 `_. + + 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 + `_. + + 4. Further improvements to support structured dtypes throughout the system. + `#472 `_, + `#474 `_, + `#459 `_, + `#453 `_, + `#452 `_, and + `#505 `_. + + 5. Fast access operators. `#497 `_. + + 6. Constructors for arrays whose storage is owned by another object. + `#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`` types. + + 9. Added ``memoryview`` wrapper type which is constructible from ``buffer_info``. + +* Eigen: many additional conversions and support for non-contiguous + arrays/slices. + `#427 `_, + `#315 `_, + `#316 `_, + `#312 `_, and + `#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 + `_. + + + 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_("MyClass") + .alias() + .... + + write + + .. code-block:: cpp + + py::class_("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 + `_. + +* Added ``eval`` and ``eval_file`` functions for evaluating expressions and + statements from a string or file. `rev. 0d3fc3 + `_. + +* pybind11 can now create types with a modifiable dictionary. + `#437 `_ and + `#444 `_. + +* Support for translation of arbitrary C++ exceptions to Python counterparts. + `#296 `_ and + `#273 `_. + +* Report full backtraces through mixed C++/Python code, better reporting for + import errors, fixed GIL management in exception processing. + `#537 `_, + `#494 `_, + `rev. e72d95 `_, and + `rev. 099d6e `_. + +* Support for bit-level operations, comparisons, and serialization of C++ + enumerations. `#503 `_, + `#508 `_, + `#380 `_, + `#309 `_. + `#311 `_. + +* The ``class_`` constructor now accepts its template arguments in any order. + `#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 + `_. + +* Major redesign of the default and conversion constructors in ``pytypes.h``. + `#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)`` (though continuing to + do so won't cause an error). + `#454 `_. + +* New ``py::overload_cast`` casting operator to select among multiple possible + overloads of a function. An example: + + .. code-block:: cpp + + py::class_(m, "Pet") + .def("set", py::overload_cast(&Pet::set), "Set the pet's age") + .def("set", py::overload_cast(&Pet::set), "Set the pet's name"); + + This feature only works on C++14-capable compilers. + `#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 `_. + +* Redesigned ``pytest``-based test suite. `#321 `_. + +* Instance tracking to detect reference leaks in test suite. `#324 `_ + +* pybind11 can now distinguish between multiple different instances that are + located at the same memory address, but which have different types. + `#329 `_. + +* Improved logic in ``move`` return value policy. + `#510 `_, + `#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 `_. + +* ``py::print()`` function whose behavior matches that of the native Python + ``print()`` function. `#372 `_. + +* Added ``py::dict`` keyword constructor:``auto d = dict("number"_a=42, + "name"_a="World");``. `#372 `_. + +* Added ``py::str::format()`` method and ``_s`` literal: ``py::str s = "1 + 2 + = {}"_s.format(3);``. `#372 `_. + +* Added ``py::repr()`` function which is equivalent to Python's builtin + ``repr()``. `#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 `_ and + `#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 + `_. + +* Bindings for ``std::valarray``. + `#545 `_. + +* Improved support for C++17 capable compilers. + `#562 `_. + +* Bindings for ``std::optional``. + `#475 `_, + `#476 `_, + `#479 `_, + `#499 `_, and + `#501 `_. + +* ``stl_bind.h``: general improvements and support for ``std::map`` and + ``std::unordered_map``. + `#490 `_, + `#282 `_, + `#235 `_. + +* The ``std::tuple``, ``std::pair``, ``std::list``, and ``std::vector`` type + casters now accept any Python sequence type as input. `rev. 107285 + `_. + +* Improved CMake Python detection on multi-architecture Linux. + `#532 `_. + +* Infrastructure to selectively disable or enable parts of the automatically + generated docstrings. `#486 `_. + +* ``reference`` and ``reference_internal`` are now the default return value + properties for static and non-static properties, respectively. `#473 + `_. (the previous defaults + were ``automatic``). `#473 `_. + +* Support for ``std::unique_ptr`` with non-default deleters or no deleter at + all (``py::nodelete``). `#384 `_. + +* Deprecated ``handle::call()`` method. The new syntax to call Python + functions is simply ``handle()``. It can also be invoked explicitly via + ``handle::operator()``, where ``X`` is an optional return value policy. + +* Print more informative error messages when ``make_tuple()`` or ``cast()`` + fail. `#262 `_. + +* Creation of holder types for classes deriving from + ``std::enable_shared_from_this<>`` now also works for ``const`` values. + `#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 `_. + +* ``arg()`` now accepts a wider range of argument types for default values. + `#244 `_. + +* Support ``keep_alive`` where the nurse object may be ``None``. `#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
