+SWIG 1.3 Patches
+================

 
 

-Some minor tweaks were made to pyexp.swg and typemaps.i to allow
-wxPython to build with Python 1.6.  Just put these in your
-swig_lib/python dir and you'll be all set.  These are from SWIG
-1.1-883.
+This directory holds a set of patches for the CVS version of SWIG that
+are required if you wish to use SWIG for wxPython development, or for
+building your own extension modules that need to interface with
+wxPython.  These have been submitted to SWIG's SourceForge patch
+tracker, so hopefully they will get incorporated into the main SWIG
+source tree soon.

 
 
 
 

-Additionally, there are some patches for SWIG sources that are needed
-for wxPython:
+------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 

-    1. python.cxx.patch, applied to .../Modules/python.cxx file will
-       prevent the out typemap from being used on constructors.

 
 

-    2. cplus.cxx.patch, applied to .../SWIG/cplus.cxx will prevent
-       some redundant code from being emitted to the extension
-       module.
+swig.python-docstring.patch  Adds "autodoc" and "docstring" features.
+                            See SF Patch #883402

 
 

-    3. pycpp.cxx.patch, applied to .../Modules/pycpp.cxx will add
-       support for the addtomethod pragma for renamed constructors.
+                            Also changes the "addtofunc" feature to
+                            "pythonappend" and also adds a
+                            "pythonprepend" feature that prepends
+                            pythoncode to the begining of a
+                            SWIG-generated proxy function or method.

 
 

+swig.xmlout.patch           Fixes a couple problems in the XML output
+                            of SWIG: an extra "/>" was removed and
+                            newlines in attribute values were changed
+                            to the #10; entity reference so they will
+                            be preserved by parsers.

 
 

+                            Also, added options for dumping or
+                            writing to a file the XML of the parse
+                            tree *after* other language modules have
+                            been run (previously you could only do
+                            the XML output *instead of* a regular
+                            language module.)
+                            See SF Patch #864689
+
+
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+These patches have already been checked in to SWIG's CVS and are in
+the 1.3.20 release.
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+swig.SplitLines.patch      Adds a new SplitLines function to the DOH
+                           library.  See SF Patch #829317.
+                           *Checked in 10/31/2003*
+
+swig.xml.patch             Adds an option that drastically reduces
+                           the size of the XML output of SWIG, which
+                           increases the performance of the
+                           build_renamers script used in the wxPython
+                           build.  See SF Patch #829319.
+                           *Checked in 10/31/2003*
+
+swig.python.patch          Lots of changes for SWIG's Python module,
+                           especially in how the proxy code is
+                           generated.  See swig.python.patch.txt for
+                           more details, also SF Patch #829325.
+                           *Checked in 10/31/2003*
