Changelog

This changelog only contains changes from the first pypi release (0.5.4.3) onwards.

  • Next version - unreleased

  • 0.6.3 - 2018-04-03 - Java reference counting has been converted to use JNI

    PushLocalFrame/PopLocalFrame. Several resource leaks were removed.

    • java.lang.Class<>.forName() will now return the java.lang.Class. Work arounds for requiring the class loader are no longer needed. Customizers now support customization of static members.

    • Support of java.lang.Class<> - java.lang.Object().getClass() on Java objects returns a java.lang.Class

      rather than the Python class

      • java.lang.Object().__class__ on Java objects returns the python class as do all python objects
      • java.lang.Object.class_ maps to the java statement ‘java.lang.Object.class’ and returns the java.lang.Class<java.lang.Object>
      • java.lang.Class supports reflection methods
      • private fields and methods can be accessed via reflection
      • annotations are avaiable via reflection

    • Java objects and arrays will not accept setattr unless the attribute corresponds to a java method or field whith the exception of private attributes that begin with underscore.

    • Added support for automatic conversion of boxed types.
      • Boxed types automatically convert to python primitives.
      • Boxed types automatically convert to java primitives when resolving functions.
      • Functions taking boxed or primitives still resolve based on closest match.

    • Python integer primitives will implicitly match java float and double as per Java specification.

    • Added support for try with resources for java.lang.Closeable. Use python “with MyJavaResource() as resource:” statement to automatically close a resource at the end of a block.

  • 0.6.2 - 2017-01-13

    • Fix JVM location for OSX.
    • Fix a method overload bug.
    • Add support for synthetic methods

  • 0.6.1 - 2015-08-05

    • Fix proxy with arguments issue.
    • Fix Python 3 support for Windows failing to import winreg.
    • Fix non matching overloads on iterating java collections.

  • 0.6.0 - 2015-04-13

    • Python3 support.
    • Fix OutOfMemoryError.

  • 0.5.7 - 2014-10-29

    • No JDK/JRE is required to build anymore due to provided jni.h. To override this, one needs to set a JAVA_HOME pointing to a JDK during setup.
    • Better support for various platforms and compilers (MinGW, Cygwin, Windows)

  • 0.5.6 - 2014-09-27

    • Note: In this release we returned to the three point number versioning scheme.
    • Fix #63: ‘property’ object has no attribute ‘isBeanMutator’
    • Fix #70: python setup.py develop does now work as expected
    • Fix #79, Fix #85: missing declaration of ‘uint’
    • Fix #80: opt out NumPy code dependency by ‘–disable-numpy’ parameter to setup. To opt out with pip append –install-option=”–disable-numpy”.
    • Use JVMFinder method of @tcalmant to locate a Java runtime

  • 0.5.5.4 - 2014-08-12

    • Fix: compile issue, if numpy is not available (NPY_BOOL n/a). Closes #77

  • 0.5.5.3 - 2014-08-11

    • Optional support for NumPy arrays in handling of Java arrays. Both set and get slice operators are supported. Speed improvement of factor 10 for setting and factor 6 for getting. The returned arrays are typed with the matching NumPy type.
    • Fix: add missing wrapper type ‘JShort’
    • Fix: Conversion check for unsigned types did not work in array setters (tautological compare)

  • 0.5.5.2 - 2014-04-29

    • Fix: array setter memory leak (ISSUE: #64)

  • 0.5.5.1 - 2014-04-11

    • Fix: setup.py now runs under MacOSX with Python 2.6 (referred to missing subprocess function)

  • 0.5.5 - 2014-04-11

    • Note that this release is not compatible with Python 2.5 anymore!
    • Added AHL changes
      • replaced Python set type usage with new 2.6.x and higher
      • fixed broken Python slicing semantics on JArray objects
      • fixed a memory leak in the JVM when passing Python lists to JArray constructors
      • prevent ctrl+c seg faulting
      • corrected new[]/delete pairs to stop valgrind complaining
      • ship basic PyMemoryView implementation (based on numpy’s) for Python 2.6 compatibility
    • Fast sliced access for primitive datatype arrays (factor of 10)
    • Use setter for Java bean property assignment even if not having a getter by @baztian
    • Fix public methods not being accessible if a Java bean property with the same name exists by @baztian (Warning: In rare cases this change is incompatibile to previous releases. If you are accessing a bean property without using the get/set method and the bean has a public method with the property’s name you have to change the code to use the get/set methods.)
    • Make jpype.JException catch exceptions from subclasses by @baztian
    • Make more complex overloaded Java methods accessible (fixes https://sourceforge.net/p/jpype/bugs/69/) by @baztian and anonymous
    • Some minor improvements inferring unnecessary copies in extension code
    • Some JNI cleanups related to memory
    • Fix memory leak in array setters
    • Fix memory leak in typemanager
    • Add userguide from sourceforge project by @baztian

  • 0.5.4.5 - 2013-08-25

    • Added support for OSX 10.9 Mavericks by @rmangino (#16)

  • 0.5.4.4 - 2013-08-10

    • Rewritten Java Home directory Search by @marsam (#13, #12 and #7)
    • Stylistic cleanups of setup.py

  • 0.5.4.3 - 2013-07-27

    • Initial pypi release with most fixes for easier installation
