Version 2.0.10 (in progress)
============================

2013-02-19: kwwette
            Fix bug in SWIG's handling of qualified (e.g. const) variables of array type. Given the typedef
              a(7).q(volatile).double myarray     // typedef volatile double[7] myarray;
            the type
              q(const).myarray                    // const myarray
            becomes
              a(7).q(const volatile).double       // const volatile double[7]
            Previously, SwigType_typedef_resolve() produces the type
              q(const).a(7).q(volatile).double    // non-sensical type
            which would never match %typemap declarations, whose types were parsed correctly.
            Add typemap_array_qualifiers.i to the test suite which checks for the correct behaviour.

            Deprecate typedef names used as constructor and destructor names in %extend. The real
            class/struct name should be used.

              typedef struct tagEStruct {
                int ivar;
              } EStruct;

              %extend tagEStruct {
                EStruct() // illegal name, should be tagEStruct()
                {
                  EStruct *s = new EStruct();
                  s->ivar = ivar0;
                  return s;
                }
                ~EStruct() // illegal name, should be ~tagEStruct()
                {
                  delete $self;
                }
              }

            For now these trigger a warning:

              extend_constructor_destructor.i:107: Warning 522: Use of an illegal constructor name 'EStruct' in
              %extend is deprecated, the constructor name should be 'tagEStruct'.
              extend_constructor_destructor.i:111: Warning 523: Use of an illegal destructor name 'EStruct' in
              %extend is deprecated, the destructor name should be 'tagEStruct'.

            These %extend destructor and constructor names were valid up to swig-2.0.4, however swig-2.0.5 ignored
            them altogether for C code as reported in SF bug #1306. The old behaviour of using them has been
            restored for now, but is officially deprecated. This does not apply to anonymously defined typedef
            classes/structs such as:

              typedef struct {...} X;

2013-02-17: kwwette
            When generating functions provided by %extend, use "(void)" for no-argument functions
            instead of "()". This prevents warnings when compiling with "gcc -Wstrict-prototypes".

2013-02-17: kwwette
            [Octave] Minor fix to autodoc generation: get the right type for functions returning structs.

2013-02-15: wsfulton
            Deprecate typedef names used in %extend that are not the real class/struct name. For example:

              typedef struct StructBName {
                int myint;
              } StructB;

              %extend StructB {
                void method() {}
              }

            will now trigger a warning:

              swig_extend.i:19: Warning 326: Deprecated %extend name used - the struct name StructBName
              should be used instead of the typedef name StructB.

            This is only partially working anyway (the %extend only worked if placed after the class
            definition). 

2013-02-09: wsfulton
            [CFFI] Apply patch #22 - Fix missing package before &body

2013-01-29: wsfulton
            [Java] Ensure 'javapackage' typemap is used as it stopped working from version 2.0.5.

2013-01-28: wsfulton
            [Python] Apply patch SF #334 - Fix default value conversions "TRUE"->True, "FALSE"->False.

2013-01-28: wsfulton
            [Java] Apply patch SF #335 - Truly ignore constructors in directors with %ignore.

2013-01-18: Brant Kyser
            [Java] Patch #15 - Allow the use of the nspace feature without the -package commandline option.
            This works as long and the new jniclasspackage pragma is used to place the JNI intermediate class
            into a package and the nspace feature is used to place all exposed types into a package.

2013-01-15: wsfulton
            Fix Visual Studio examples to work when SWIG is unzipped into a directory containing spaces.

2013-01-15: wsfulton
            [C#] Fix cstype typemap lookup for member variables so that a fully qualified variable name
            matches. For example:
              %typemap(cstype) bool MVar::mvar "MyBool"
              struct MVar {
                bool mvar;
              };

2013-01-11: Brant Kyser
	    [Java, C#, D] SF Bug #1299 - Fix generated names for when %nspace is used on
            classes with the same name in two different namespaces.

2013-01-11: Vladimir Kalinin
	    [C#] Add support for csdirectorin 'pre', 'post' and 'terminator' attributes.

2013-01-08: olly
	    [PHP] Fix to work with a ZTS build of PHP (broken in 2.0.7).

	    Fix bashism in configure, introduced in 2.0.9.

2013-01-06: wsfulton
            Pull patch #4 from ptomulik to fix SF Bug #1296 - Fix incorrect warning for virtual destructors
            in templates, such as:
             Warning 521: Illegal destructor name B< A >::~B(). Ignored.

2013-01-05: wsfulton
            [Python] Pull patch #3 from ptomulik to fix SF Bug #1295 - standard exceptions as
            classes using the SWIG_STD_EXCEPTIONS_AS_CLASSES macro.

2013-01-04: wsfulton
            [Java] Pull patch #2 from BrantKyser to fix SF Bug #1283 - fix smart pointers in conjuction
            with directors.

2013-01-03: wsfulton
            [Java] Pull patch #1 from BrantKyser to fix SF Bug #1278 - fix directors and nspace feature when
            multilevel namespaces are used.
