2.2.2 (stable)

* Added an include of functors/slot.h that was mistakenly removed 
  during the 2.1 series.
  (Deng Xiyue) Bug #521418.

2.2.1 (stable):

  (Elaine Xiong. Bug #302098)

2.2.0 (stable):

* Build fixes when using gcc 4.3 pre-releases.
  (Ryan Hill, Vladimir Marek)

2.1.1 (unstable):

WARNING: This is an unstable release and should not yet be 
packaged by distributions unless libsigc++ 2.0.x does not 
build for some reason (Please report such bugs).

* Removed the SigC:: namespace and other compatibility API, 
  to fix the build with some versions of some compilers, 
  such as the SUN Forte C++ CC compiler.
  See bug #302098, for instance 
  (Murray Cumming)
* sigc::signal<>:
  - Added Added typedefs for 
  value_type, reference, and pointer, so that these 
  iterators are more like standard C++ iterators, so they can 
  be used with standard C++ algorithms.  
  (Michael Elkstrand) (Bug #417926).
  - Added emit_reverse().
  (John Profic)

2.0.17:

* slot::disconnect(): Make this work.
  sigc::connection::disconnect() already worked.
  (James Lin, Murray Cumming)
* visit_each compilation problem fixed.
  (Philipp Berndt)

2.0.16:

* Don't specify unused function parameter names.
  (Andris Pavenis)

2.0.14:

* SUN Forte 5.7 build fix for ambiguity when using 
  inner template class. However, you still need the 
  patch in bug #302098 to finish the build.

  destruction of the member variables, to avoid a leak.
  (Andreas Ames, bug #306249)

  Mention the bool I_derives_trackable template type,
  (Friedemann Kleint, bug #305647)
 - Check for the non-standard SUN reverse_iterator,
  and use alternative code if necessary.
  (Murray Cumming)

2.0.12:

* Fixes crashes when using virtual inheritance, particularly 
  with bound by-reference parameters, caused by casting 
  from derived to base when the derived destructor has run.
  (Régis Duchesne)
  This might affect non-g++ compilers, so do tell us about 
  any problems.

2.0.11:

* Build fixes for SUN Forte, Tru64
  (Murray Cumming), and MSVC++ (Cedric Gustin).

  (Neal E. Coombes)
* Performance improvement in a corner case.
  (Neal E. Coombes).

* sigc::var() is now documented. (Roger Ferrer Ibáñez)

2.0.8:

support 3rd-party funtors.

([functor], [lambdas])".
* Made many fixes to lambda functionality.
* Added var() and constant() lambda creators.
* Added many lambda operators.

references in bind and group adaptors.
* Expanded test suite.
* Added documentation. (Corrections by Murray Cumming)

1.9.6:

* First public release of the unstable 2.0 generation.
  libsigc++ 2.0 uses modern C++ mechanisms to achieve a highly
  flexible, yet typesafe callback system. It supports all features of
  libsigc++ 1.2 and improves upon it by:
  - No need to specify the number of arguments in signal definitions.
  - Connection of any compatible (=implicitly convertable) functor
   to a signal.
  - Implicit type conversions of parameters during signal emission.
  - Lambda adaptor for complete restructuring of functor parameter
   lists in one line (subject to changes).
  - Signal has a fully featured stl style list interface.
  - A convinient accumulator API (replacing the old marshaller API).
  - Removal of unnecessary memory management functionality.
  - Lightweight class "trackable" for use as base class of your
   class hierarchy replaces class "Object".
