    sigc++/hide.h
    sigc++/method_slot.h
    sigc++/object.h
    sigc++/object_slot.h
    sigc++/retype.h
  Some of these still have equivalents in sigc++/adaptors/
  (Kjell Ahlstedt, Murray Cumming) Bug #752560
* C++11: Replace deprecated std::auto_ptr by std::unique_ptr.
  (Kjell Ahlstedt)
* C++11: Use std::is_base_of<> instead of our sigc::is_base_and_derived<>,

  (Murray Cumming, Kjell Ahlstedt)


2.4.1 (stable):

* A slot's functor is destroyed when an empty slot is assigned to the slot.
  (Kjell Ahlstedt) Bug #738602 (James Lin)

  during signal emission.
  (Kjell Ahlstedt)

2.4.0 (stable):

    (Kjell Ahlstedt)

2.3.2 (unstable):

Note: The implementation of bug #724496 breaks API for some users,
but it does not break ABI.
Only users who have added their own visit_each() overloads are affected by
the API break. Their programs will still compile, but there will be run-time
errors, if they rely on auto-disconnection of slots.
Updated instructions for users who implement their own adaptors are found
in the description of sigc::adapts<>. 

* Replace visit_each() overloads by struct visitor<>.
  Add the test_visit_each test case.

  (Kjell Ahlstedt) Bug #699168 (John Ralls)
* Add the track_obj() adaptor and test_track_obj test case.
  Deprecate libsigc++ lambdas, sigc::group() and sigc::var().
  Use C++11 lambda expressions instead.
  (Kjell Ahlstedt) Bug #672555
* Documentation:
  - Emphasize that signals are reference counted.
    (Kjell Ahlstedt) Bug #611941 (Jonathon Jongsma)
  - Mention std::function<> and std::bind() where appropriate.
    (Kjell Ahlstedt, Chris Vine)

    functions from the reference documentation.
    (Kjell Ahlstedt)

    (Ryan Beasley) Bug #733752
  - Update MSVC_Net2010
    (Kjell Ahlstedt) Bug #724496 (Ryan Beasley)

  Thanks to Chow Loong Jin, who posted similar code on libsigc-list.

  such as the SUN Forte C++ CC compiler.
  See bug #302098, for instance
  (Murray Cumming)

  - Added Added typedefs for
  value_type, reference, and pointer, so that these

* Fixed support for sigc::ref() in adaptors.
* Fixed sigc::visit_each(): only hit targets that are passed by
  reference; pass bound members in bound_member_functor by reference.
* Add lambda actions sigc::{reinterpret,static,dynamic}_cast_
  to support explicit parameter conversion.
* Add adaptors sigc::retype_return<>() and sigc::hide_return().

Minor fixes:
* Fixed return type deduction for bind<0>.
  libsigc++-1.9.11 should compile with gcc-3.3.
* Fixed copy constructor and operator=() of slot template.
* Fixed a compiler warning in signal_emit#<>::emit().
* Improved test case.

1.9.10:

* Fix compiler issues with gcc-3.3.2 (patch from Jeff Franks).
* Remove compiler check for the gcc extension typeof().
* Simplify bind_functor templates.
* Move definition of struct nil into functor_trait.h.

1.9.9:

* Add a constructor to sigc::connection that takes a slot_base&
  to support user defined slot lists like they are used in gtkmm.
* Fix compiler issues with gcc-3.3.2 (reported by Jeff Franks).

1.9.8:

* Add compatibility module that defines namespace SigC.
  namespace SigC should be API compatible to libsigc++-1.2.
  Currently only the core parts of the library are supported.
  Adaptors are still to follow.
* Fix connection::operator=(). Include connection.h in sigc++.h.
* Get rid of namespace functor.
* Rename dependency to destroy_notify_callback.
* Rename trackable::clear() to trackable::notify_callbacks().
* Move slot_base, signal_base, slot_iterator[_buf], slot_list
  out of namespace internal. They are public API.
* Add reference counter to signal_impl enabling signals
  to share the underlying information.
* Add convenience function signal#::make_slot().
* Get rid of one-letter-parameter-names.
* Get rid of "using namespace ..." in the test cases.
* Add lambda operators subscript ([]) and assign (=).
* Fix is_base_and_derived<> for const types.
* New and updated documentation.
* Add previous announces to file NEWS.

1.9.7:

* Added sigc++/sigc++.h. (Murray Cumming)
* Added member_method example. (Murray Cumming)
* Renamed closure to slot.
* Fixed issues with gcc-3.3. (Adreas Rottmann)
* Removed unnecessary void specializations.
* Made adaptors' operator()() (overload with no arguments) return a value.
* Made visit_each() support adaptors.
* Overhauled return type deduction to make it work without typeof().
* Added convinience macros SIGC_FUNCTORS_HAVE_RESULT_TYPE and
SIGC_FUNCTOR_TRAIT(T_functor, T_result) to make return type deduction system
support 3rd-party funtors.
* Changed syntax of group adaptor from "[functor] % grp([lambdas])" to "group
([functor], [lambdas])".
* Made many fixes to lambda functionality.
* Added var() and constant() lambda creators.
* Added many lambda operators.
* Added ref() which creates a reference wrapper to enable storage of
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".
