Update to 1.2.1:

v1.2.1

Nothing changed from v1.2.0.

v1.2.0

    Out-of-line mode: int a[][...]; can be used to declare a
    structure field or global variable which is, simultaneously,
    of total length unknown to the C compiler (the a[] part) and
    each element is itself an array of N integers, where the value
    of N is known to the C compiler (the int and [...] parts around
    it). Similarly, int a[5][...]; is supported (but probably less
    useful: remember that in C it means int (a[5])[...];).
    PyPy: the lib.some_function objects were missing the attributes
    __name__, __module__ and __doc__ that are expected e.g. by some
    decorators-management functions from functools.
    Out-of-line API mode: you can now do from _example.lib import
    x to import the name x from _example.lib, even though the lib
    object is not a standard module object. (Also works in from
    _example.lib import *, but this is even more of a hack and will
    fail if lib happens to declare a name called __all__. Note that
    * excludes the global variables; only the functions and constants
    make sense to import like this.)
    lib.__dict__ works again and gives you a copy of the dict�assuming
    that lib has got no symbol called precisely __dict__. (In
    general, it is safer to use dir(lib).)
    Out-of-line API mode: global variables are now fetched on demand
    at every access. It fixes issue #212 (Windows DLL variables),
    and also allows variables that are defined as dynamic macros
    (like errno) or __thread -local variables. (This change might
    also tighten the C compiler�s check on the variables� type.)
    Issue #209: dereferencing NULL pointers now raises RuntimeError
    instead of segfaulting. Meant as a debugging aid. The check is
    only for NULL: if you dereference random or dead pointers you
    might still get segfaults.
    Issue #152: callbacks: added an argument ffi.callback(...,
    onerror=...). If the main callback function raises an exception
    and onerror is provided, then onerror(exception, exc_value,
    traceback) is called. This is similar to writing a try: except:
    in the main callback function, but in some cases (e.g. a signal)
    an exception can occur at the very start of the callback
    function�before it had time to enter the try: except: block.
    Issue #115: added ffi.new_allocator(), which officializes
    support for alternative allocators.
