F2PY old news.

February 23, 2002
Fixed a bug of incorrect shapes of multi-dimensional arrays when returning from Fortran routine (thanks to Eric for pointing this out). F2PY_REPORT_ATEXIT is disabled by default under Win32.
February 14, 2002
Introduced callprotoargument statement so that proper prototypes can be specified (this fixes SEGFAULTs when wrapping C functions with f2py, see NEWS.txt for more details). Updated for the latest numpy_distutils. Fixed few bugs.
February 3, 2002
Introduced intent(overwrite),intent(out=name) attributes, callstatement C-expr; statement, and reviewed reference counting in callback mechanism. Fixed bugs.
January 18, 2002
Introduced extra keyword argument copy_#varname#=1 for intent(copy) variables, -DF2PY_REPORT_ATEXIT for reporting f2py performance, has_column_major_storage member function for generated modules, and dmalloc support.
January 16, 2002
BREAKING NEWS! Solved long lasted dilemma of wrapping multi-dimensional arrays where different storage orders in C and Fortran come into account. From now on this difference is dealt automatically by the f2py generated module and in a very efficient way. For example, the corresponding element A(i,j) of a Fortran array can be accessed in Python as A[i,j].
January 13, 2002
Fifth Public Release is coming soon..., a snapshot is available for download, now with updates.
December 17, 2001
Fourth Public Release: Win32 support.
Making f2py2e a module. Currently it has only one member function run_main(comline_list).
Removed command line arguments -fix,-f90,-f77 and introduced many new ones. See NEWS.txt.
intent(..) statement with empty name list defines default intent(..) attribute for all routine arguments.
Refinements in Win32 support. Eric Jones has provided a f2py HOWTO for Windows users. See win32_notes.txt.
Major rewrote of the code generator to achieve a higher quality of generated C/API modules (-Wall messages are considerably reduced, especially for callback functions).
Many bugs were fixed.
December 12, 2001
Win32 support (thanks to Eric Jones and Tiffany Kamm). Minor cleanups and fixes.
December 4, 2001
Third Public Release: f2py supports distutils. It can be installed with one and it generates setup_modulename.py to be used for building Python extension modules.
Introduced threadsafe, fortranname, and intent(c) statements.
August 13, 2001
Changed the name FPIG to F2PY for avoiding confusion with project names.
Updated f2py for use with Numeric version 20.x.
January 12, 2001
Example usages of PyFortranObject. Fixed bugs. Updated the Python 9 Conference paper (F2PY paper).
December 9, 2000
Implemented support for PARAMETER statement.
November 6, 2000
Submitted a paper for 9th Python Conference (accepted). It is available in html, PDF, and Gzipped PS formats.
September 17, 2000
Support for F90/95 module data and routines. COMMON block wrapping is rewritten. New signature file syntax: pythonmodule. Signature files generated with f2py-2.264 or earlier, are incompatible (need replacement module with pythonmodule).
September 12, 2000
The second public release of f2py is out. See Release notes.
September 11, 2000
Now f2py supports wrapping Fortran 90/95 module routines (support for F90/95 module data coming soon)
June 12, 2000
Now f2py has a mailing list f2py-users open for discussion.
