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``.
