<dt>22 July 2003</dt>
<dd>Killed the dreaded "bad argument type for builtin operation" error.
Argument errors now show the actual and expected argument types!</dd>
<dt>19 July 2003</dt>
<dd>Added the new <code>return_arg</code> policy from <a href=
"mailto:nickm-at-sitius.com">Nikolay Mladenov</a>. Thanks,
Nikolay!</dd>
<dt>18 March, 2003</dt>
<dd><a href="mailto:Gottfried.Ganssauge-at-haufe.de">Gottfried
Gan&szlig;auge</a> has contributed <a href=
"v2/opaque_pointer_converter.html">opaque pointer support</a>.<br>
<a href="nicodemus-at-globalite.com.br">Bruno da Silva de Oliveira</a>
has contributed the exciting <a href="../pyste/index.html">Pyste</a>
("Pie-steh") package.</dd>
<dt>24 February 2003</dt>
<dd>Finished improved support for <code>boost::shared_ptr</code>. Now
any wrapped object of C++ class <code>X</code> can be converted
automatically to <code>shared_ptr&lt;X&gt;</code>, regardless of how it
was wrapped. The <code>shared_ptr</code> will manage the lifetime of
the Python object which supplied the <code>X</code>, rather than just
the <code>X</code> object itself, and when such a
<code>shared_ptr</code> is converted back to Python, the original
Python object will be returned.</dd>
<dt>19 January 2003</dt>
<dd>Integrated <code>staticmethod</code> support from <a href=
"mailto:nickm-at-sitius.com">Nikolay Mladenov</a>. Thanks,
Nikolay!</dd>
<dt>29 December 2002</dt>
<dd>Added Visual Studio project file and instructions from Brett
Calcott. Thanks, Brett!</dd>
<dt>20 December 2002</dt>
<dd>Added automatic downcasting for pointers, references, and smart
pointers to polymorphic class types upon conversion to python</dd>
<dt>18 December 2002</dt>
<dd>Optimized from_python conversions for wrapped classes by putting
the conversion logic in the shared library instead of registering
separate converters for each class in each extension module</dd>
<dt>19 November 2002</dt>
<dd>Removed the need for users to cast base class member function
pointers when used as arguments to <a href=
"v2/class.html#class_-spec-modifiers">add_property</a></dd>
<dt>13 December 2002</dt>
<dd>Allow exporting of <a href=
"v2/enum.html#enum_-spec"><code>enum_</code></a> values into enclosing
<a href="v2/scope.html#scope-spec"><code>scope</code></a>.<br>
Fixed unsigned integer conversions to deal correctly with numbers that
are out-of-range of <code>signed long</code>.</dd>
<dt>14 November 2002</dt>
<dd>Auto-detection of class data members wrapped with <a href=
"v2/data_members.html#make_getter-spec"><code>make_getter</code></a></dd>
<dt>13 November 2002</dt>
<dd>Full Support for <code>std::auto_ptr&lt;&gt;</code> added.</dd>
<dt>October 2002</dt>
<dd>Ongoing updates and improvements to tutorial documentation</dd>
<dt>10 October 2002</dt>
<dd>Boost.Python V2 is released!</dd>
