* NumPy-style broadcasting support in ``pybind11::vectorize``
* pybind11 now displays more verbose error messages when ``arg::operator=()`` fails.

* pybind11 internal data structures now live in a version-dependent namespace to avoid ABI issues
* Many, many bugfixes involving corner cases and advanced usage

* Optional: efficient generation of function signatures at compile time using C++14
Wenzel Jakob's avatar

34
35
36
* Switched to a simpler and more general way of dealing with function default
  arguments. Unused keyword arguments in function calls are now detected and
  cause errors as expected
37
* New ``keep_alive`` call policy analogous to Boost.Python's ``with_custodian_and_ward``

38
* New ``pybind11::base<>`` attribute to indicate a subclass relationship
39

41
42
* Improved interface for RAII type wrappers in ``pytypes.h``
* Use RAII type wrappers consistently within pybind11 itself. This
  fixes various potential refcount leaks when exceptions occur
* Added new ``bytes`` RAII type wrapper (maps to ``string`` in Python 2.7).

* Made handle and related RAII classes const correct, using them more
  consistently everywhere now

51
* Got rid of the ugly ``__pybind11__`` attributes on the Python side---they are
  now stored in a C++ hash table that is not visible in Python
* Fixed refcount leaks involving NumPy arrays and bound functions
* Vastly improved handling of shared/smart pointers
* Removed an unnecessary copy operation in ``pybind11::vectorize``
* Fixed naming clashes when both pybind11 and NumPy headers are included
* Added conversions for additional exception types

* Documentation improvements (using multiple extension modules, smart pointers,
  other minor clarifications)
54
* unified infrastructure for parsing variadic arguments in ``class_`` and cpp_function
55
56
* Fixed license text (was: ZLIB, should have been: 3-clause BSD)
* Python 3.2 compatibility

* Fixed remaining issues when accessing types in another plugin module
* Added enum comparison and casting methods
* Improved SFINAE-based detection of whether types are copy-constructible
* Eliminated many warnings about unused variables and the use of ``offsetof()``
