| 99 | now stored in a C++ hash table that is not visible in Python |
| 100 | * Fixed refcount leaks involving NumPy arrays and bound functions |
| 101 | * Vastly improved handling of shared/smart pointers |
| 102 | * Removed an unnecessary copy operation in ``pybind11::vectorize`` |

Wenzel Jakob | 1ae77fe | 2016-01-17 22:36:43 +0100 | [diff] [blame] | 108 | * Fixed license text (was: ZLIB, should have been: 3-clause BSD) |
| 109 | * Python 3.2 compatibility |
Wenzel Jakob | cd4e6ae | 2016-01-29 11:48:40 +0100 | [diff] [blame] | 110 | * Fixed remaining issues when accessing types in another plugin module |
| 111 | * Added enum comparison and casting methods |
| 112 | * Improved SFINAE-based detection of whether types are copy-constructible |
