Below are the changes for the current release.
See the CHANGES file for changes in older releases.
See the RELEASENOTES file for a summary of changes in each release.

Version 3.0.9 (in progress)
===========================

2016-03-01: wsfulton
            Add rstrip encoder for use in %rename. This is like the strip encoder but
            strips the symbol's suffix instead of the prefix. The example below
            will rename SomeThingCls to SomeThing and AnotherThingCls to AnotherThing:

              %rename("%(rstrip:[Cls])s") ""; 

              class SomeThingCls {};
              struct AnotherThingCls {};

2016-02-07: kwwette
            [Octave] recognise various unary functions
            * Use __float__() for numeric conversions, e.g. when calling double()
            * Map various unary functions, e.g. abs() to __abs__(), see full list
              in section 32.3.10 of manual; only available in Octave 3.8.0 or later

2016-02-07: kwwette
            [Octave] export function swig_octave_prereq() for testing Octave version

2016-02-06: pjohangustavsson
            [C#] Fix duplicate symbol problems when linking the source generated
            from multiple SWIG modules into one shared library for the -namespace
            option. The namespace is now mangled into the global PInvoke function
            names.

            *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***

2016-01-27: ahnolds
            [Python] Added support for differentiating between Python Bytes
            and Unicode objects using by defining SWIG_PYTHON_STRICT_BYTE_CHAR
            and SWIG_PYTHON_STRICT_UNICODE_WCHAR.

2016-01-27: steeve
            [Go] Ensure structs are properly packed between gc and GCC/clang.

2016-01-25: ahnolds
            [Python] Support the full Python test suite in -classic mode
            * Convert long/unsigned long/long long/unsigned long long to PyInt
              rather than PyLong when possible. Certain python functions like
              len() require a PyInt when operating on old-style classes.
            * Add support for static methods in classic mode, including support
              for pythonappend, pythonprepend, and docstrings.
            * Removing the use of __swig_getmethods__ for static member methods
              since they will always be found by the standard argument lookup
            * Fix a bug where the wrong type of exception was caught when
              checking for new-style class support

2016-01-23: ahnolds
            [Go] Enable support for the Go test-suite on OSX:
            * The linker on OSX requires that all symbols (even weak symbols)
              are defined at link time. Because the function _cgo_topofstack is
              only defined starting in Go version 1.4, we explicitly mark it as
              undefined for older versions of Go on OSX.
            * Avoid writing empty swigargs structs, since empty structs are not
              allowed in extern "C" blocks.

2016-01-12: olly
	    [Javascript] Look for "nodejs" as well as "node", as it's packaged
	    as the former on Debian.

2016-01-12: olly
	    [Javascript] For v8 >= 4.3.0, use V8_MAJOR_VERSION.
	    Fixes https://github.com/swig/swig/issues/561.

2016-01-10: ahnolds
            Improved size_t and ptrdiff_t typemaps to support large values
            on platforms where sizeof(size_t) > sizeof(unsigned long) and
            sizeof(ptrdiff_t) > sizeof(long).
