This is necessary when arguments are swapped. Recognized in + Python 3.10 due to improved error checks in debug mode. + - [PYSIDE-1436] A very old refcounting bug from 2012 in the sample XML + led to a crash in Python 3.10 . This bug was found because the refcounting + of Python is more exact, now. + - [PYSIDE-1588] It is now possible to specify a function argument type + to appear in the .pyi files. + - [PYSIDE-1605] Support for opaque C++ sequence scontainers has been added, + allowing to pass a wrapped C++ container directly instead of converting + it back and forth from Python sequences. + - [PYSIDE-1626] Coexistence of different feature selections works now, + especially for UIC files and inheritance. + - [PYSIDE-1621] Python support files are now always embedded. There is + no longer a physical copy installed in the file system. + - [PYSIDE-1637] The temporary alias shiboken6.shiboken6 for + the Shiboken module was removed. Now there is an unambiguous + shiboken6.Shiboken, only. + - [PYSIDE-1653] The handling of hidden base class member functions and + using declarations has been fixed. + - [PYSIDE-1655] stack-use-after-scope ASAN issues in the type system parser + have been fixed. + - [PYSIDE-1660] CPython types like PyObject, PySequence are now built into + shiboken6 and no longer need to be specified in the typesystem files. + - [PYSIDE-1568] Construction of abstract classes whose C++ wrapper is disabled + has been disabled. + - It is now possible to specify a check function for custom types in the + typesystem. + - A new, simpler normalization function has been introduced for signatures + of added functions (which means for example that const-ref is preserved). + - The replacement of %PYARG_0 in C++ wrapper classes (native) has been + improved and no longer requires adding casts to PyObject *. |
