mhammond/pywin32 (pywin32)

v312

• Deprecate pythoncom.frozen and resolve build deprecation warnings (#​2593, [@​Avasam][Avasam])
  pythoncom.frozen used to expose Py_FrozenFlag from the C API.
  Py_FrozenFlag is deprecated since Python 3.12.

• Removed special-casing for .pyo files which haven't been a thing since Python 3.5 (#​2754, [@​Avasam][Avasam])
• Fixed axdebug build on Python 3.11+ using CPython's new opaque frame APIs, fixed 64-bit overflow in sourceContext and stack addresses, fixed incorrect step-over and step-out behavior, and fixed ListEnumeratorGateway.Next() returning lazy map iterator incompatible with C++ COM gateways that require a sequence (#​2723, #​2724, #​2725, [@​wxinix-2022][wxinix-2022])
• Removed more leftover obsolete UNICODE constants since dropping Python 2 support in win32ui, win32gui and win32clipboard (#​2717, [@​Avasam][Avasam])
• Implement COM Records as [out] method parameters (#​2708, [@​geppi][geppi], [@​the-snork][the-snork])

• Added many missing license and copyright notice files (#​2590, [@​Avasam][Avasam])
• Fixed missing version stamp on built .dll and .exe files (#​2647, [@​Avasam][Avasam])
• Bugfix for COM Record instance creation (#​2641, [@​geppi][geppi])
• Fix regression introduced by #​2506 (#​2640, [@​geppi][geppi])
• Fixed LoadPerfCounterTextStrings and UnloadPerfCounterTextStrings's bQuiet param being unused and hardcoded to True (#​2711, [@​Avasam][Avasam])
• Removed considerations for unsupported Windows Versions (95/98/ME/2000/2k/Vista, most of XP) (#​2711, #​2667, #​2400, #​2747, #​2752 [@​Avasam][Avasam])
  • Updated a lot of dynamic function loading at runtime to instead use static build linking
  • Updated a lot of documentation
  • This removes the following constants:
    • win32con.FILE_ATTRIBUTE_ATOMIC_WRITE
    • win32con.FILE_ATTRIBUTE_XACTION_WRITE
• Removed considerations for MFC < 9 (VS 2008) (#​2669, #​2716, [@​Avasam][Avasam])
  • This removes the unusable PyCSliderCtrl.VerifyPos method
• win32cred.{CredWrite, CredUIPromptForCredentials}, win32net.NetUserEnum,
  win32profile.{LoadUserProfile,UnloadUserProfile,CreateEnvironmentBlock},
  win32security.{LogonUser, LookupAccountName, SetNamedSecurityInfo, GetNamedSecurityInfo, LsaAddAccountRights, ConvertSidToStringSid}
  all now release the GIL before making the call (#​2732)
• Fix memory leak in PyCom_VariantFromPyObject (#​2688)
• Dropped support for Python 3.8 (#​2413, [@​Avasam][Avasam])
  • Note that whilst pywin32 hasn't explicitly dropped support for Windows 7 / 8 / Server 2008,
    Python 3.8 was the last official CPython version to support those versions (Python 3.9 installer requires at least Windows 8.1 / Server 2012).
