[ANN] Py++ - 0.8.5

[Roman Yakovenko]

Hello!

I'm pleased to announce the 0.8.5 release of Py++.

What is Py++?
=============

Py++ is an object-oriented framework for creating a code generator for
Boost.Python library.

Where is Py++?
==============

Site: http://language-binding.net/pyplusplus/pyplusplus.html

Download: http://language-binding.net/pyplusplus/download.html

What's new?
===========

Features
--------

* Added "Function Transformation" feature. This feature allows you to
describe function
wrapper and Py++ will do the rest.
Example could be found here: http://tinyurl.com/y3ec24

* Added new functionality, which allows you to control messages and warnings.

* Adding new algorithm, which controls the registration order of the functions.

* Added new "Py++" defined "return_pointee_value" call policy

* Opaque types are fully supported

* Py++ will check the "completeness" of the bindings. It will check
for you that the exposed
declarations don't have references to unexposed ones.

Small features
--------------

* It is possible to configure "Py++" to generate faster ( compilation time )
code for indexing suite version 2.

* The algorithm, which finds all class properties was improved. Now it provides
a better way to control properties creation. A property that would
hide another
exposed declaration will not be registered\\created.

* Work around for "custom smart pointer as member variable" Boost.Python bug
was introduced.

Hello!

I'm pleased to announce the 0.8.5 release of Py++.

I'm just wondering why there is a comp.lang.python.announce newsgroup.
Could it be for making announcements or would that be too obvious?

Yes that's for making announcements. And usually they are posted here
too. Set a filter on the subject if you don't want to read them.
