New in SIP 4.14.4 (Mar 4, 2013)

  • Mapped types for templates no longer require the template arguments to be fully defined.
  • Build system changes required by PyQt v4.8 and Qt v4.7.

New in SIP 4.10 Dev (Dec 17, 2009)

  • Fixed a NULL dereference when instantiating an unscoped class template.

New in SIP 4.9.2 (Nov 13, 2009)

  • Added a missing "sip" prefix to an argument that could be mixed with handwritten code.

New in SIP 4.7.9 (Dec 22, 2008)

  • This is a bug fix release needed to build PyKDE v3.16.2

New in SIP 4.7.8 (Nov 10, 2008)

  • Fixed a minor code generating bug that caused too many blank lines to be generated with consolidated modules.
  • Fixed a bug in the detection of reimplemented methods when the method is a Python special method (ie. when the attribute is a method wrapper).
  • Updated the NEWS file.
  • Changed the PyQt example in the docs to use PyQt4.
  • Fixes for Qt classes that doesn't have a public QMetaObject.
  • Fixed a silly typo in the updated converting of constrained enums.
  • Fixed problems with the type name handling when the type is a pointer.
  • A simple int object can now be passed whenever an enum is expected. The /Constrained/ annotation can be used to suppress this behaviour. (This has been done in anticipation of QVariant being removed from PyQt. When an enum is wrapped in a QVariant it can only be retrieved as an int, so this will avoid the need for unexpected casting by an application.)
  • The build system now adds #!/bin/sh for scripts on UNIX.
  • Made sure that the types used by virtual handlers don't use type names as they are shared.
  • Typedef type names are now used where possible in generated code instead of the type definitions. This means that the string representation of types (eg. in mapped type names) now reflect what the programmer sees, not what the compiler sees.
  • Typedefs are no looked up and expanded as soon as possible which helps to disambiguate template signatures.
  • Added the /NoTypeName/ typedef annotation.
  • Fixed the calls to PyErr_WarnEx() for Python v2.4 and earlier.
  • Consolidated the internal API for raising deprecation warnings.
  • Added a deprecation warning for sip.transfer().
  • Added the /Deprecated/ class and function annotation (based on a patch from Lorenzo Berni).
  • The C/C++ names of enums and types are now always defined in the relevant structures rather than defaulting to the Python names.
  • Added sipWrappedTypeName() to the private Qt support API.
  • The wrapping of instance variables now uses sipConvertFromNew() if possible.
  • Fixed the handling of instance variables so that a copy is taken by the getter, rather than wrapping the variable itself.
  • Removed the special handing of some Qt classes related to metatype registration.
  • Changed the handling of the registration of Qt meta-types to for PyQt's improved QVariant support.
  • Added support for variables in templates.
  • Simplified the handling of a wrapper slots (maybe the original code was a hangover from SIP v3).
  • Enum slots should now work.
  • Reverted the removal of the support in the build systen for QMAKE_LFLAGS_CONSOLE* and QMAKE_LFLAGS_WINDOWS* as they are required when building PyQt3 with MinGW.
  • Added support for class templates containing enums.
  • Allow (non-pointer and non-reference) base types as template arguments.
  • Fixed a bug in the handling of signal arguments that were typedefs of a template.
