structure to the heap.
- Added sip.isdeleted() to check if a C++ instance or C structure has been
destroyed or returned to the heap.
- Added sip.setdeleted() to mark that a C++ instance or C structure has been
destroyed or returned to the heap.
- Added support for pure virtual destructors.
- Added the __dtor__() method to allow Python code to be called from a C++
destructor.
- Added the /NoDefaultCtors/ class annotation.

- A bug fix release.
v4.4.1 3rd April 2006
- A bug fix release.
v4.4 24th March 2006
- The major number of the internal API has changed so it will be necessary
to regenerate all modules.
- This release introduces small incompatibilities that may affect handwritten
code. See the documentation for the details.
- Module names specified with %Module and %CModule can now include periods to
denote a Python package structure.
- Namespaces can be split across multiple Python modules.
- Class templates are now supported and instantiated using "typedef".
- Mapped type templates are now supported and instantiated automatically.
- Global operators are now supported.
- Operator casts in classes are now supported.
- C/C++ signed char type is now treated as a separate type to char.
- C/C++ long and unsigned long types are now wrapped as Python long objects
rather than Python integer objects.
- C/C++ long long and unsigned long long types are now supported.
- unsigned short and unsigned int are now implemented as long objects instead
of integer objects.
- Classes can now be declared using the /External/ annotation and be defined
in another, unspecified, module.
- /TransferThis/ can now be used in non-factory methods to change the
ownership to a different C++ instance or to change it to Python.
- /Constrained/ can now be used with booleans.
- Added support for Python's buffer interface, %BIGetCharBufferCode,
%BIGetReadBufferCode, %BIGetSegCountCode and %BIGetWriteBufferCode.
- The "user" member has been added to the sipWrapper structure and can be
used for any purpose by handwritten code.
- Function argument names are now parsed, but otherwise ignored.
- The "explicit" keyword is now parsed, but otherwise ignored.
- Added the /DelayDtor/ class annotation which given more control over the
order in which instances are deleted when an application terminates.
- Added support for the SIP_PYTYPE pseudo-type that represents a Python
type object.
- Added support for ellipsis (ie. "...") in function arguments. Any
remaining arguments will be gathered as a Python tuple.
- Add support for the /NoDerived/ annotation for Python class constructors
that have no C/C++ equivalent.
- The sipSelfWasArg boolean is now available to the %MethodCode of
non-abstract, virtual methods to indicate whether the class implementation
of the method rather than the virtual implementation should be called.
%MethodCode for non-abstract, virtual, protected methods must now call the
sipProtectVirt wrapper (rather than sipProtect).
- sipCanConvertToInstance(), sipConvertToInstance(),
sipForceConvertToInstance(), sipReleaseInstance(),
sipConvertFromInstance(), sipConvertFromNewInstance(),
sipCanConvertToMappedType(), sipConvertToMappedType(),
sipForceConvertToMappedType(), sipReleaseMappedType(),
sipConvertFromMappedType() and sipFindMappedType() have been added to the
SIP API.
- sipLong_AsUnsignedLong() has been added, primarily as a workaround for a
bug in Python v2.3.x and earlier.
- Added the 't', 'u', 'C' and 'D' format characters to sipParseResult().
- Added the 't', 'u', 'B', 'C' and 'D' format characters to sipBuildResult().
- Responsibility for interpreting and implementing the /Transfer/ and
/TransferBack/ annotations has been pushed down to %ConvertToTypeCode and
%ConvertFromTypeCode. The generated type convertors sipForceConvertTo_*()
and sipConvertFrom_*() have been deprecated.
- Added the %SIPNoEmitters directive for PyQt4.
- Added support for the __hash__ Python special method.
- The __getitem__ Python special method no longer requires %MethodCode.
- All of the calls to Qt have been moved out of the sip module and into PyQt.
The generated sipconfig.py file no longer contains any Qt specific
information. These changes mean that SIP can support PyQt v3 and v4 at the
same time.
- Static methods can now be defined as Qt slots.
- Removed SIP_BUILD from sip.h.
- The -c, -l, -q and -x flags to configure.py have been removed.
- Added the PythonModuleMakefile class to the build system for installing
pure Python modules.
- Added the create_wrapper() function to the build system for creating
platform dependent executable wrappers for Python scripts.
- Added Configuration.platform to the build system.

SIP is a tool that makes it very easy to create Python bindings for
|
|
C++ libraries. It was originally developed to create PyQt, the Python
|
|
bindings for the Qt toolkit, but can be used to create bindings for any
|
|
C++ library.
