Eli Benderskyf1b2db22015-04-21 17:37:54 -07001+ Version 2.12 (21.04.2015)
2
3 - This is a fix release for 2.11; the memory optimization with __slots__ on
4 Coord and AST nodes didn't take weakrefs into account, which broke cffi and
5 its many dependents (iseue #76). Fixed by adding __weakref__ to __slots__.

24 contributed by Sye van der Veen in GitHub issue #1:
25
Eli Benderskyfebd20b2013-07-30 06:45:08 -070026 * Allow shadowing of types by identifiers in inner scopes.
Eli Bendersky3877c4c2013-07-13 06:54:04 -070027 * Allow struct field names to reside in a separate namespace and have
28 the same names as types.
29 * Allow duplicate typedefs in some cases to mimic real compiler behavior.
30
Eli Bendersky39219c12013-06-12 06:18:37 -070031 - c_generator error for ExprList in expression context.
32 - Assume default int type for functions whose argument or return types were
33 not specified.
34 - Relax the lexer a bit w.r.t. some integer suffixes and $ in identifier names
35 (which is supported by some other compilers).

Eli Bendersky93352512012-12-24 20:18:33 -080044
Eli Bendersky645e2602012-12-25 06:21:08 -080045 - The pycparser project has moved to Bitbucket. For this version, issue
46 numbers still refer to the old Googlecode project, unless stated otherwise.
47 Starting with the next version all issue numbers will refer to the new
48 Bitbucket project.
Eli Bendersky93352512012-12-24 20:18:33 -080049 - pycparser now carries its PLY dependency along. The pycparser/ply directory
50 contains the source of PLY for the currently supported version. This makes
51 distribution and testing easier.

91 semicolon.
92 - Improved the AST created for switch statements, making it closer to the
93 semantic meaning than to the grammar.
