+# CppSharp 0.8.17 25.12.2017
+
+
+
+Collected extra symbols in the order of their compilation.
+
+Fixed the generated C# when a specialisation of a template used as a secondary base has an invalid function.
+
+Fixed the generated C# when a template interface specialised with another specialisation returns a template parameter.
+
+Fixed the generated C# when a default arg is assigned a specialisation also used as a secondary base.
+
+Fixed a crash when a constructor takes a template or specialisation.
+
+Fixed the generated C# for public fields with type a dependent pointer.
+
+Enabled classes having specializations for secondary bases to call their extensions.
+
+Fixed the generated C# for subclasses of specialisations used as secondary bases.
+
+Fixed the generated C# when a template specialization with extensions is used for a secondary base.
+
+Extended the multiple inheritance to work for templates.
+
+Fixed a regression causing public fields of type specialization to be ignored.
+
+Fixed the generated C# for templates with optional arguments.
+
+Represented "void" with "object" for template arguments in the generated C#.
+
+Fixed the generated C# for public fields with type a dependent function pointer.
+
+Fixed the generated C# when a constructor has a default parameter with type an external specialisation.
+
+Set an index when marshalling the value in setters of properties.
+
+Fixed the generated C# when a function uses an external specialisation.
+
+Fixed the generated C# when a base class is an external specialisation.
+
+Fixed the generated C# for indexers with dependent keys.
+
+Fixed the generated C# for templated indexers specialised with enums.
+
+Add compiler/abi information to LLVM package names on linux.
+
+Exported entire specialisations when they only have valid functions.
+
+Considered dependent fields when generating internals for types nested in templates.
+
+Removed extensions for non-generated template specialisations.
+
+Fixed the generated C# when a template returns a specialisation with itself as a type arg.
+
+Fixed the generated C# for members of types nested in templates.
+
+Fixed the generated C# when a template is nested in another.
+
+Add ability for managed module wrapper to reference extra assemblies.
+
+Re-added linux include path that was removed by mistake.
+
+Enable debug information generation for all tests.
+
+Fix debug output not being generated when AST element had no comment.
+
+Explicitly link to libstdc++ on linux.
+
+All arguments passed to `build/Compile.sh` are passed to premake. Allows more fine-grained build customization when using this shell script for compiling.
+
+Tweak linux include dirs, previous change broke GCC7 include dirs on archlinux.
+
+Consistent class/struct keywords fixed for cases where wrapper class would contain members from several different translation units.
+
+Fix debug output breaking generated binding code.
+
+Completely remove `GenerateUnformatted()` method.
+
+CI: x64 builds on msvc and sudo requirement for travis
+
+Always generate formatted code.
+
+Fix `Delegates` name-space being not generated. In some cases `Delegates` name-space could be attached to a name-space which is not wrapped and as a result of that `Delegates` name-space was also not generated in wrapper code resulting in a wrapper build errors. Change adds extra logic which tries to find the correct library name-space if more than one name-space is present.
+
+Consistently declare classes/structs. Fixes issue where compilation error is produced due to file name containing constants matching class marked as value type.
+
+Fix linking to LLVM libs on linux, when system has llvm/clang installed.
+
+Enable cxx11 abi for GCC 4.9+ on linux.
+
+Worked around a bug in the Mono C# compiler when casting generics.
+
+Fixed a crash when the body of a templated function contains references to non-functions.
+
+Use correct LLVM build dir for includes from unpackaged LLVM builds
+
+get_llvm_build_dir() returns "build" subdir if it exists, if not - subdir with package name.
+
+Fix linked libs for linux
+
+Use correct LLVM build dir for includes from unpackaged LLVM builds.
+
+Removed a duplicate explicit instantiation from the tests.
+
+Cloning llvm from git replaced with downloading archives of exact commits from github. This is much faster.
+
+Worked around duplication of types nested in templates and forwarded.
+
+Fixed a crash when passing null as an std::string on Unix.
+
+Force-set platform type to managed targets.
+
+Fix linux include paths in ParserGen and CLI generator.
+
+Fix build errors in CppSharp.Parser.Bootstrap target.
+
+Fixed a crash when there are parsing errors.
+
+Fixed the collection of additional symbols to ignore warnings.
+
+Fixed the generated C# when a constructor takes a specialisation.
+
+Fixed a possible crash when instantiating template functions in the parser.
+
+Fixed the generated C# for templates with fields other templates not used anywhere else.
+
+Fixed the generated C# when using std::map.
+
+Fixed the generated C# for specialisations with an ignored specialisation as an arg.
+
+Fixed the generated C# for specialisations only used as type arguments.
+
+Removed extensions for internal template specialisations.
+
+Fixed the parsing of an undeclared template specialisation with an extension method.
+
+Validated bodies of instantiated template functions.
+
+Added a new field accessor synth kind.
+
+Improved IsSynthetized check to handle property setters.
+
+Improve get base method and property methods to work with generalized declarations.
+
+Added AssociatedDeclaration to Declaration copy constructor.
+
+Included template specialisations only used as returned types.
+
+Included the destructor of std::allocator to the C++ symbols.
+
+Prevented C++ generation for invalid specialised functions.
+
+Fixed the generated C# for fixed arrays of Booleans
+
+Updated to LLVM/Clang revisions 318543/318538 respectively.
+
+Fixed the script for LLVM to handle paths with spaces.
+
+Generalized method fields to declaration associations.
+
+Improved debugging display for declarations.
+
+Added optional visiting of property accessors.
+
+CodeGenerator is now an IAstVisitor.
+
+Cleaned up the additional parser options after parsing headers.
+
+Fixed the generated C++ for symbols to be compatible with Clang.
+
+Fixed the generated C# when a type nested in a template is forwarded.
