- update to version 1.9.1:
  (no changelog available)

- changes from version 1.9:
  * Structs with variable-sized arrays as their last field: now we
    track the length of the array after ffi.new() is called, just like
    we always tracked the length of ffi.new("int[]", 42). This lets us
    detect out-of-range accesses to array items. This also lets us
    display a better repr(), and have the total size returned by
    ffi.sizeof() and ffi.buffer(). Previously both functions would
    return a result based on the size of the declared structure type,
    with an assumed empty array. (Thanks andrew for starting this
    refactoring.)
  * Add support in cdef()/set_source() for unspecified-length arrays
    in typedefs: typedef int foo_t[...];. It was already supported for
    global variables or structure fields.
  * I turned in v1.8 a warning from cffi/model.py into an error: 'enum
    xxx' has no values explicitly defined: refusing to guess which
    integer type it is meant to be (unsigned/signed, int/long). Now
    I’m turning it back to a warning again; it seems that guessing
    that the enum has size int is a 99%-safe bet. (But not 100%, so it
    stays as a warning.)
  * Fix leaks in the code handling FILE * arguments. In CPython 3
    there is a remaining issue that is hard to fix: if you pass a
    Python file object to a FILE * argument, then os.dup() is used and
    the new file descriptor is only closed when the GC reclaims the
    Python file object—and not at the earlier time when you call
    close(), which only closes the original file descriptor. If this
    is an issue, you should avoid this automatic convertion of Python
    file objects: instead, explicitly manipulate file descriptors and
    call fdopen() from C (...via cffi).

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sun Sep 18 15:53:20 UTC 2016 - arun@gmx.de

- update to version 1.8.3:
  * When passing a void * argument to a function with a different
    pointer type, or vice-versa, the cast occurs automatically, like
    in C. The same occurs for initialization with ffi.new() and a few
    other places. However, I thought that char * had the same
    property—but I was mistaken. In C you get the usual warning if you
    try to give a char * to a char ** argument, for example. Sorry
    about the confusion. This has been fixed in CFFI by giving for now
    a warning, too. It will turn into an error in a future version.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Sep 16 15:10:25 UTC 2016 - toddrme2178@gmail.com

- Update to 1.8.2
  * Issue #283: fixed ``ffi.new()`` on structures/unions with nested
    anonymous structures/unions, when there is at least one union in
    the mix.  When initialized with a list or a dict, it should now
    behave more closely like the ``{ }`` syntax does in GCC.
- Update to 1.8.1
  * CPython 3.x: experimental: the generated C extension modules now use
    the "limited API", which means that, as a compiled .so/.dll, it should
    work directly on any version of CPython >= 3.2.  The name produced by
    distutils is still version-specific.  To get the version-independent
    name, you can rename it manually to ``NAME.abi3.so``, or use the very
    recent setuptools 26.
  * Added ``ffi.compile(debug=...)``, similar to ``python setup.py build
    --debug`` but defaulting to True if we are running a debugging
    version of Python itself.
- Update to 1.8
  * Removed the restriction that ``ffi.from_buffer()`` cannot be used on
    byte strings.  Now you can get a ``char *`` out of a byte string,
    which is valid as long as the string object is kept alive.  (But
    don't use it to *modify* the string object!  If you need this, use
    ``bytearray`` or other official techniques.)
  * PyPy 5.4 can now pass a byte string directly to a ``char *``
    argument (in older versions, a copy would be made).  This used to be
    a CPython-only optimization.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Wed Jun 22 07:34:45 UTC 2016 - mvyskocil@opensuse.org

- Update to 1.7.0
    * ffi.gc(p, None) removes the destructor on an object previously created by
      another call to ffi.gc()
    * bool(ffi.cast("primitive type", x)) now returns False if the value is
      zero (including -0.0), and True otherwise. Previously this would only
      return False for cdata objects of a pointer type when the pointer is
      NULL.
    * bytearrays: ffi.from_buffer(bytearray-object) is now supported.
    * C++: compiling the generated C code with bool type works

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Wed May 18 19:33:12 UTC 2016 - toddrme2178@gmail.com

- Split documentation into own subpackage to speed up build.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sun May  8 06:59:05 UTC 2016 - arun@gmx.de

- specfile:
  * changed to https for source url
  * updated source url to files.pythonhosted.org

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sat Apr 23 16:14:54 UTC 2016 - arun@gmx.de

- update to version 1.6.0:
  * ffi.list_types()
  * ffi.unpack()
  * extern “Python+C”
  * in API mode, lib.foo.__doc__ contains the C signature now. On
    CPython you can say help(lib.foo), but for some reason help(lib)
    (or help(lib.foo) on PyPy) is still useless; I haven’t yet figured
    out the hacks needed to convince pydoc to show more. (You can use
    dir(lib) but it is not most helpful.)
  * Yet another attempt at robustness of ffi.def_extern() against
    CPython’s interpreter shutdown logic.

- changes from version 1.5.2:
  * Fix 1.5.1 for Python 2.6.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sun Feb 14 02:03:18 UTC 2016 - arun@gmx.de

- update to version 1.5.2:
  * Fix 1.5.1 for Python 2.6.

- changes from version 1.5.1:
  * A few installation-time tweaks (thanks Stefano!)
  * Issue #245: Win32: __stdcall was never generated for extern
    "Python" functions
  * Issue #246: trying to be more robust against CPython’s fragile
    interpreter shutdown logic

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sun Jan 17 20:48:16 UTC 2016 - arun@gmx.de

- specfile:
  * update copyright year

- update to version 1.5.0:
  * Support for using CFFI for embedding.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Wed Dec 30 18:36:16 UTC 2015 - arun@gmx.de

- update to version 1.4.2:
  * Nothing changed from v1.4.1.

- changes from version 1.4.1:
  * Fix the compilation failure of cffi on CPython 3.5.0. (3.5.1
    works; some detail changed that makes some underscore-starting
    macros disappear from view of extension modules, and I worked
    around it, thinking it changed in all 3.5 versions—but no: it was
    only in 3.5.1.)

- changes from version 1.4.0:
  * A better way to do callbacks has been added (faster and more
    portable, and usually cleaner). It is a mechanism for the
    out-of-line API mode that replaces the dynamic creation of
    callback objects (i.e. C functions that invoke Python) with the
    static declaration in cdef() of which callbacks are needed. This
    is more C-like, in that you have to structure your code around the
    idea that you get a fixed number of function pointers, instead of
    creating them on-the-fly.
  * ffi.compile() now takes an optional verbose argument. When True,
    distutils prints the calls to the compiler.
  * ffi.compile() used to fail if given sources with a path that
    includes "..". Fixed.
  * ffi.init_once() added. See docs.
  * dir(lib) now works on libs returned by ffi.dlopen() too.
  * Cleaned up and modernized the content of the demo subdirectory in
    the sources (thanks matti!).
  * ffi.new_handle() is now guaranteed to return unique void * values,
    even if called twice on the same object. Previously, in that case,
    CPython would return two cdata objects with the same void *
    value. This change is useful to add and remove handles from a
    global dict (or set) without worrying about duplicates. It already
    used to work like that on PyPy. This change can break code that
    used to work on CPython by relying on the object to be kept alive
    by other means than keeping the result of ffi.new_handle()
    alive. (The corresponding warning in the docs of ffi.new_handle()
    has been here since v0.8!)

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sun Nov 22 00:47:16 UTC 2015 - arun@gmx.de

- update to version 1.3.1:
  * The optional typedefs (bool, FILE and all Windows types) were not
    always available from out-of-line FFI objects.
  * Opaque enums are phased out from the cdefs: they now give a
    warning, instead of (possibly wrongly) being assumed equal to
    unsigned int. Please report if you get a reasonable use case for
    them.
  * Some parsing details, notably volatile is passed along like const
    and restrict. Also, older versions of pycparser mis-parse some
    pointer-to-pointer types like char * const *: the “const” ends up
    at the wrong place. Added a workaround.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sun Nov  1 19:29:10 UTC 2015 - arun@gmx.de

- update to version 1.3.0:
  * Added ffi.memmove().
  * Pull request #64: out-of-line API mode: we can now declare
    floating-point types with typedef float... foo_t;. This only works
    if foo_t is a float or a double, not long double.
  * Issue #217: fix possible unaligned pointer manipulation, which
    crashes on some architectures (64-bit, non-x86).
  * Issues #64 and #126: when using set_source() or verify(), the
    const and restrict keywords are copied from the cdef to the
    generated C code; this fixes warnings by the C compiler. It also
    fixes corner cases like typedef const int T; T a; which would
    previously not consider a as a constant. (The cdata objects
    themselves are never const.)
  * Win32: support for __stdcall. For callbacks and function pointers;
    regular C functions still don’t need to have their calling
    convention declared.
  * Windows: CPython 2.7 distutils doesn’t work with Microsoft’s
    official Visual Studio for Python, and I’m told this is not a
    bug. For ffi.compile(), we removed a workaround that was inside
    cffi but which had unwanted side-effects. Try saying import
    setuptools first, which patches distutils...

- changes from version 1.2.1:
  * Nothing changed from v1.2.0.

- changes from version 1.2.0:
  * Out-of-line mode: int a[][...]; can be used to declare a structure
    field or global variable which is, simultaneously, of total length
    unknown to the C compiler (the a[] part) and each element is
    itself an array of N integers, where the value of N is known to
    the C compiler (the int and [...] parts around it). Similarly, int
    a[5][...]; is supported (but probably less useful: remember that
    in C it means int (a[5])[...];).
  * PyPy: the lib.some_function objects were missing the attributes
    __name__, __module__ and __doc__ that are expected e.g. by some
    decorators-management functions from functools.
  * Out-of-line API mode: you can now do from _example.lib import x to
    import the name x from _example.lib, even though the lib object is
    not a standard module object. (Also works in from _example.lib
    import *, but this is even more of a hack and will fail if lib
    happens to declare a name called __all__. Note that * excludes the
    global variables; only the functions and constants make sense to
    import like this.)
  * lib.__dict__ works again and gives you a copy of the dict—assuming
    that lib has got no symbol called precisely __dict__. (In general,
    it is safer to use dir(lib).)
  * Out-of-line API mode: global variables are now fetched on demand
    at every access. It fixes issue #212 (Windows DLL variables), and
    also allows variables that are defined as dynamic macros (like
    errno) or __thread -local variables. (This change might also
    tighten the C compiler’s check on the variables’ type.)
  * Issue #209: dereferencing NULL pointers now raises RuntimeError
    instead of segfaulting. Meant as a debugging aid. The check is
    only for NULL: if you dereference random or dead pointers you
    might still get segfaults.
  * Issue #152: callbacks: added an argument ffi.callback(...,
    onerror=...). If the main callback function raises an exception
    and onerror is provided, then onerror(exception, exc_value,
    traceback) is called. This is similar to writing a try: except: in
    the main callback function, but in some cases (e.g. a signal) an
    exception can occur at the very start of the callback
    function—before it had time to enter the try: except: block.
  * Issue #115: added ffi.new_allocator(), which officializes support
    for alternative allocators.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Jun 15 02:13:07 UTC 2015 - arun@gmx.de

- update to version 1.1.2:
  * ffi.gc(): fixed a race condition in multithreaded programs
    introduced in 1.1.1

- changes from version 1.1.1:
  * Out-of-line mode: ffi.string(), ffi.buffer() and ffi.getwinerror()
    didn't accept their arguments as keyword arguments, unlike their
    in-line mode equivalent. (It worked in PyPy.)
  * Out-of-line ABI mode: documented a restriction of ffi.dlopen()
    when compared to the in-line mode.
  * ffi.gc(): when called several times with equal pointers, it was
    accidentally registering only the last destructor, or even none at
    all depending on details. (It was correctly registering all of
    them only in PyPy, and only with the out-of-line FFIs.)

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sun May 31 16:34:10 UTC 2015 - arun@gmx.de

- update to version 1.1.0:
  * Out-of-line API mode: we can now declare integer types with
    typedef int... foo_t;. The exact size and signness of foo_t is
    figured out by the compiler.
  * Out-of-line API mode: we can now declare multidimensional arrays
    (as fields or as globals) with int n[...][...]. Before, only the
    outermost dimension would support the ... syntax.
  * Out-of-line ABI mode: we now support any constant declaration,
    instead of only integers whose value is given in the cdef. Such
    “new” constants, i.e. either non-integers or without a value given
    in the cdef, must correspond to actual symbols in the lib. At
    runtime they are looked up the first time we access them. This is
    useful if the library defines extern const sometype somename;.
  * ffi.addressof(lib, "func_name") now returns a regular cdata object
    of type “pointer to function”. You can use it on any function from
    a library in API mode (in ABI mode, all functions are already
    regular cdata objects). To support this, you need to recompile
    your cffi modules.
  * Issue #198: in API mode, if you declare constants of a struct
    type, what you saw from lib.CONSTANT was corrupted.
  * Issue #196: ffi.set_source("package._ffi", None) would incorrectly
    generate the Python source to package._ffi.py instead of
    package/_ffi.py. Also fixed: in some cases, if the C file was in
    build/foo.c, the .o file would be put in build/build/foo.o.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sat May 30 03:24:13 UTC 2015 - arun@gmx.de

- specfile:
  * tests need c++ compiler

- update to version 1.0.3:
  * Same as 1.0.2, apart from doc and test fixes on some platforms.

- changes from version 1.0.2:
  * Variadic C functions (ending in a ”...” argument) were not
    supported in the out-of-line ABI mode. This was a bug—there was
    even a (non-working) example doing exactly that!

- changes from version 1.0.1:
  * ffi.set_source() crashed if passed a sources=[..] argument. Fixed
    by chrippa on pull request #60.
  * Issue #193: if we use a struct between the first cdef() where it
    is declared and another cdef() where its fields are defined, then
    this definition was ignored.
  * Enums were buggy if you used too many ”...” in their definition.

- changes from version 1.0.0:
  * The main news item is out-of-line module generation:
    + for ABI level, with ffi.dlopen()
    + for API level, which used to be with ffi.verify(), now deprecated

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sat Mar 14 01:12:49 UTC 2015 - arun@gmx.de

  * update copyright year
  * run test via py.test -c x testing

- update to version 0.9.0:
  * the types TBYTE TCHAR LPCTSTR PCTSTR LPTSTR PTSTR PTBYTE PTCHAR
    are no longer automatically defined; see ffi.set_unicode() below.
  * the other standard integer types from stdint.h, as long as they
    map to integers of 1, 2, 4 or 8 bytes. Larger integers are not
    supported.
  * You can give C++ source code in ffi.verify()
  * The optional flags argument has been added, see man dlopen
    (ignored on Windows). It defaults to ffi.RTLD_NOW.
  * The optional relative_to argument is useful if you need to list
    local files passed to the C compiler
  * You can give several field names in case of nested structures.
  * You can give several field names in case of nested structures, and
    you can give numeric values for array items.
