* Support converting BitMask types to int
* BitArray constructor accepts a Python long of arbitrary size
* DoubleBitMask (and QuadBitMask, by extension) supports Python long in constructor
* Support for pickling (except DoubleBitMask)
* All of them now properly define __bool__()
* More unit tests
Fixes#886
There is a bug in clang versions before 3.2 (including the one shipped with Xcode) that makes it give a "conflicting types" compile error when there is a static constexpr function defined outside the class. The way to work around this is either to remove one of the "static" or "constexpr" keywords, or to simply put the definition inline.

I would try and upgrade Xcode to version 5 to see if the problem is fixed, but the buildbot still runs OS X Lion (10.7) and the last version of Xcode that works on Lion is 4.6.3, so it seems easier to just apply these workarounds for now.
The GCC documentation states that, as of GCC 2.7.2, these aren't
necessary for proper program behavior. The documentation further
discourages their use because they don't suppress unnecessary code
duplication.
The Panda codebase these days uses "extern template class" instead,
which tells the compiler not to perform implicit template expansion
because an explicit template expansion is available for linking
elsewhere in the program. This is a more compiler-neutral way of
achieving the same thing as '#pragma interface', making
'#pragma interface' not only redundant, it could also mask problems
in the "extern template class" machinery.
* Better support for typedefs
* Same code should compile for both 32-bit and 64-bit
* C++11 typed enum support
* Synthesize __setitem__ when operator [] returns reference
* Rewrite coerce system to have better performance
* Change semantics of __getattr__ and __setattr__ to match
Python's, add __getattribute__, __delattr__ and __delitem__
* Improve performance of slot functions a bit more
* Reduce memory overhead of type system
* Some support for wrapping arrays of numeric types
* C++11 character type support in cppparser
* Chars are handled as strings of length 1
* Template functions for CreatePyInstance that use runtime type map
* More functions from dtool as extension functions
* Code cleanup
