<p>Prior to this version the <a title="sipWrapper" class="reference external" href="c_api.html#sipWrapper"><tt class="xref docutils literal"><span class="pre">sipWrapper</span></tt></a> structure had a member called
<a title="user" class="reference external" href="c_api.html#user"><tt class="xref docutils literal"><span class="pre">user</span></tt></a> which is available for handwritten code to use. From this
version <a title="user" class="reference external" href="c_api.html#user"><tt class="xref docutils literal"><span class="pre">user</span></tt></a> is a member of the <a title="sipSimpleWrapper" class="reference external" href="c_api.html#sipSimpleWrapper"><tt class="xref docutils literal"><span class="pre">sipSimpleWrapper</span></tt></a> structure.</p>
<p><a title="sipWrapper" class="reference external" href="c_api.html#sipWrapper"><tt class="xref docutils literal"><span class="pre">sipWrapper</span></tt></a> pointers can be safely cast to <a title="sipSimpleWrapper" class="reference external" href="c_api.html#sipSimpleWrapper"><tt class="xref docutils literal"><span class="pre">sipSimpleWrapper</span></tt></a>
pointers, so if your code does something like:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>((sipWrapper *)obj)-&gt;user = an_object_reference;</pre>

<p>then you just need to change it to:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>((sipSimpleWrapper *)obj)-&gt;user = an_object_reference;</pre>

<h3>Automatic int to Enum Conversions<a class="headerlink" href="#automatic-int-to-enum-conversions" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h3>
<p>This version allows a Python <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">int</span></tt> object to be passed whenever an enum is
expected. This can mean that two signatures that were different with prior
versions are now the same as far as Python is concerned.</p>
<p>The <a class="reference external" href="annotations.html#aanno-Constrained"><tt class="xref docutils literal"><span class="pre">Constrained</span></tt></a> argument annotation can now be applied to an enum
argument to revert to the earlier behaviour.</p>

<h3>Complementary Comparison Operators<a class="headerlink" href="#complementary-comparison-operators" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h3>
<p>Prior to this version SIP did not automatically generate missing complementary
comparison operators. Typically this was worked around by adding them
explicitly to the .sip files, even though they weren&#8217;t implemented in C++ and
relied on the C++ compiler calling the complementary operator that was
implemented.</p>
<p>A necessary change to the code generator meant that this not longer worked and
so SIP was changed to automatically generate any missing complementary
operators. If you have added such operators explicitly then you should remove
them or make them dependent on the particular version of SIP.</p>
