    News
  
!     **'ctypes' version 0.9.1 has been released (Sept 14, 2004).**
  
!     ctypes can now call Python API functions (without releasing the
!     global interpreter lock).
  
!     Slicing is now supported for array and pointer instances.
  
-     Several bugfixes.
  
      Detailed changelogs are in CVS (well, sometimes I forget to update
      them):

    News
  
!     **'ctypes' version 0.9.2 has been released (Oct 28, 2004).**
  
!     Fixed several bugs and memory leaks.
  
!     'ctypes' is now tested on Windows, Linux (x86 and x86_64), OpenBSD
!     and Mac OS X.
! 
!     Implemented some helper functions: 'memmove', 'memset', 'string_at', 'wstring_at'.
!     The former act as their C library counterpart, the latter two allow
!     to read a zero-terminated (wide) strings at a certain address.
! 
!     Implemented a 'cast(cobj, ctype)' function, which creates a new object
!     of the specified ctype from an existing object.
! 
!     'ctypes' now explicitely allocates executable memory for the callbacks
!     it creates, this makes it work correctly on platforms where
!     executing data is normally forbidden (OpenBSD, Win XP SP2 on AMD 64).
! 
!     Fixed the unicode handling on non-windows platforms.
! 
!     Bit fields in structures and unions are now implemented.
!     For a bit field, one would specify the width in bits as the third
!     part in the '_fields_' list like this::
! 
! 	class BitFieldSample(Structure):
! 	    _fields_ = [("anInt", c_int),
! 			("aBitField", c_int, 3)]
! 
!     POINTER(None) now returns c_void_p.  This change was made for easier
!     code generation, and makes sense since 'None' is the ctypes way to
!     spell 'void'.
