bzr 1.13.1 released!
by Bob Tanner March 23, 2009

March 23, 2009

A couple regessions where found in the 1.13 release. The pyrex- generated C extensions are missing from the .tar.gz and .zip files. Documentation on how to generate GNU ChangeLogs is wrong. The merge --force works again. The Bazaar team announces the availability of a regression release of the bzr adaptive version control system. Thanks to everyone who contributed patches, suggestions, and feedback. Bazaar is now available for download from http://bazaar-vcs.org/ Download as a source tarball; packages for various systems will be available soon. BUG FIXES: * Change ``./bzr``'s ``_script_version`` to match ./bzrlib/ __init__.py version_info. (Bob Tanner, Martin Pool, #345232) * Distribution archives for 1.13 do not contain generated C extension modules (Jean-Francois Roy, Bob Tanner, #344465) * GNU ChangeLog output can now be produced by bzr log --format gnu-changelog is incorrect (Deejay, Bob Tanner, Martin Pool, Robert Collins, #343928) * ``merge --force`` works again. (Robert Collins, #342105) -- Bob Tanner <tanner(a)real-time.com> Key fingerprint = F785 DDFC CF94 7CE8 AA87 3A9D 3895 26F1 0DDB E378

ETS 3.2.0 Released
by Dave Peterson March 23, 2009

March 23, 2009

Hello, I'm pleased to announce that Enthought Tool Suite (ETS) version 3.2.0 has been tagged and released! Source distributions (.tar.gz) have been uploaded to PyPi, and Windows binaries will be follow shortly. A full install of ETS can be done using Setuptools via a command like: easy_install -U "ets[nonets] >= 3.2.0" NOTE 1: Users of an old ETS release will need to first uninstall prior to installing the new ETS. NOTE 2: If you get a 'SandboxViolation' error, simply re-run the command again -- it may take multiple invocations to get everything installed. (This error appears to be a long-standing incompatibility between numpy.distutils and setuptools.) Please see below for a list of what's new in this release. What Is ETS? =========== The Enthought Tool Suite (ETS) is a collection of components developed by Enthought and the open-source community, which we use every day to construct custom scientific applications. It includes a wide variety of components, including: * an extensible application framework * application building blocks * 2-D and 3-D graphics libraries * scientific and math libraries * developer tools The cornerstone on which these tools rest is the Traits package, which provides explicit type declarations in Python; its features include initialization, validation, delegation, notification, and visualization of typed attributes. More information on ETS is available from the development home page: http://code.enthought.com/projects/index.php Changelog ========= ETS 3.2.0 is a feature-added update to ETS 3.1.0, including numerous bug-fixes. Some of the notable changes include: Chaco ----- * Domain limits - Mappers now can declare the "limits" of their valid domain. PanTool and ZoomTool respect these limits. (pwang) * Adding "hide_grids" parameter to Plot.img_plot() and Plot.contour_plot() so users can override the default behavior of hiding grids. (pwang) * Refactored examples to declare a Demo object so they can be be run with the demo.py example launcher. (vibha) * Adding chaco.overlays package with some canned SVG overlays. (bhendrix) * DragZoom now can scale both X and Y axes independently corresponding to the mouse cursor motion along the X and Y axes (similar to the zoom behavior in Matplotlib). (pwang) * New Examples: * world map (bhendrix) * more financial plots (pwang) * scatter_toggle (pwang) * stacked_axis (pwang) * Fixing the chaco.scales TimeFormatter to use the built-in localtime() instead of the one in the safetime.py module due to Daylight Savings Time issues with timedelta. (r23231, pwang) * Improved behavior of ScatterPlot when it doesn't get the type of metadata it expects in its "selections" and "selection_masks" metadata keys (r23121, pwang) * Setting the .range2d attribute on GridMapper now properly sets the two DataRange1D instances of its sub-mappers. (r23119, pwang) * ScatterPlot.map_index() now respects the index_only flag (r23060, pwang) * Fixed occasional traceback/bug in LinePlot that occurred when data was completely outside the visible range (r23059, pwang) * Implementing is_in() on legends to account for padding and alignment (caused by tools that move the legend) (r23052, bhendrix) * Legend behaves properly when there are no plots to display (r23012, judah) * Fixed LogScale in the chaco.scales package to correctly handle the case when the length of the interval is less than a decade (r22907, warren.weckesser) * Fixed traceback when calling copy_traits() on a DataView (r22894, vibha) * Scatter plots generated by Plot.plot() now properly use the "auto" coloring feature of Plot. (r22727, pwang) * Reduced the size of screenshots in the user manual. (r22720, rkern) Mayavi ------ * 17, 18 March, 2009 (PR): * NEW: A simple example to show how one can use TVTK’s visual module with mlab. [23250] * BUG: The size trait was being overridden and was different from the parent causing a bug with resizing the viewer. [23243] * 15 March, 2009 (GV): * ENH: Add a volume factory to mlab that knows how to set color, vmin and vmax for the volume module [23221]. * 14 March, 2009 (PR): * API/TEST: Added a new testing entry point: ‘mayavi -t’ now runs tests in separate process, for isolation. Added enthought.mayavi.api.test to allow for simple testing from the interpreter [23195]...[23200], [23213], [23214], [23223]. * BUG: The volume module was directly importing the wx_gradient_editor leading to an import error when no wxPython is available. This has been tested and fixed. Thanks to Christoph Bohme for reporting this issue. [23191] * 14 March, 2009 (GV): * BUG: [mlab]: fix positioning for titles [23194], and opacity for titles and text [23193]. * ENH: Add the mlab_source attribute on all objects created by mlab, when possible [23201], [23209]. * ENH: Add a message to help the first-time user, using the new banner feature of the IPython shell view [23208]. * 13 March, 2009 (PR): * NEW/API: Adding a powerful TCP/UDP server for scripting mayavi via the network. This is available in enthought.mayavi.tools.server and is fully documented. It uses twisted and currently only works with wxPython. It is completely insecure though since it allows a remote user to do practically anything from mayavi. * 13 March, 2009 (GV) * API: rename mlab.orientationaxes to mlab.orientation_axes [23184] * 11 March, 2009 (GV) * API: Expose ‘traverse’ in mlab.pipeline [23181] * 10 March, 2009 (PR) * BUG: Fixed a subtle bug that affected the ImagePlaneWidget. This happened because the scalar_type of the output data from the VTKDataSource was not being set correctly. Getting the range of any input scalars also seems to silence warnings from VTK. This should hopefully fix issues with the use of the IPW with multiple scalars. I’ve added two tests for this, one is an integration test since those errors really show up only when the display is used. The other is a traditional unittest. [23166] * 08 March, 2009 (GV) * ENH: Raises an error when the user passes to mlab an array with infinite values [23150] * 07 March, 2009 (PR) * BUG: A subtle bug with a really gross error in the GridPlane component, I was using the extents when I should really have been looking at the dimensions. The extract grid filter was also not flushing the data changes downstream leading to errors that are also fixed now. These errors would manifest when you use an ExtractGrid to select a VOI or a sample rate and then used a grid plane down stream causing very wierd and incorrect rendering of the grid plane (thanks to conflation of extents and dimensions). This bug was seen at NAL for a while and also reported by Fred with a nice CME. The CME was then converted to a nice unittest by Suyog and then improved. Thanks to them all. [23146] * 28 February, 2009 (PR) * BUG: Fixed some issues reported by Ondrej Certik regarding the use Of mlab.options.offscreen, mlab.options.backend = ‘test’, removed cruft from earlier ‘null’ backend, fixed bug with incorrect imports, add_dataset set no longer adds one new null engine each time figure=False is passed, added test case for the options.backend test. [23088] * 23 February, 2009 (PR) * ENH: Updating show so that it supports a stop keyword argument that pops up a little UI that lets the user stop the mainloop temporarily and continue using Python [23049] * 21 February, 2009 (GV) * ENH: Add a richer view for the pipeline to the MayaviScene [23035] * ENH: Add safegards to capture wrong triangle array sizes in mlab.triangular_mesh_source. [23037] * 21 February, 2009 (PR) * ENH: Making the transform data filter recordable. [23033] * NEW: A simple animator class to make it relatively to create animations. [23036] [23039] * 20 February, 2009 (PR) * ENH: Added readers for various image file formats, poly data readers and unstructured grid readers. These include DICOM, GESigna, DEM, MetaImage (mha,mhd) MINC, AVSucd, GAMBIT, Exodus, STL, Points, Particle, PLY, PDB, SLC, OBJ, Facet and BYU files. Also added several tests for most of this functionality along with small data files. These are additions from PR’s project staff, Suyog Jain and Sreekanth Ravindran. [23013] * ENH: We now change the default so the ImagePlaneWidget does not control the LUT. Also made the IPW recordable. [23011] * 18 February, 2009 (GV) * ENH: Add a preference manager view for editing preferences outside envisage [22998] * 08 February, 2009 (GV) * ENH: Center the glyphs created by barchart on the data points, as mentioned by Rauli Ruohonen [22906] * 29 January, 2009 (GV) * ENH: Make it possible to avoid redraws with mlab by using mlab.gcf().scene.disable_render = True [22869] * 28 January, 2009 (PR and GV) * ENH: Make the mlab.pipeline.user_defined factory function usable to add arbitrary filters on the pipeline. [22867], [22865] * 11 January, 2009 (GV) * ENH: Make mlab.imshow use the ImageActor. Enhance the ImageActor to map scalars to colors when needed. [22816] Traits ------ * Fixed a bug whereby faulty error handling in the PyProtocols Pyrex speedup code keeps references to tracebacks that have been handled. In so doing, clean up the same code such that it can be used with a modern Pyrex release (a bare raise can no longer be used outside of an except: clause). * RangeEditor factory now supports a 'logslider' mode: Thanks to Matthew Turk for the patch * TabularEditor factory now supports editing of all columns: Thanks to Didrik Pinte for the patch * DateEditor factory in 'custom' style now supports multi-select feature. * DateEditor and TimeEditor now support the 'readonly' style. * Fixed a bug in the ArrayEditor factory that was causing multiple trait change events to get fired when the underlying array is changed externally to the editor: Thanks to Matthew Turk for he patch. * Fixed a circular import error in Color, Font and RGBColor traits * Fixed a bug in the factory for ArrayViewEditor so it now calls the toolkit backend-specific editor TraitsBackendWX --------------- * RangeEditor now supports a 'logslider' mode: Thanks to Matthew Turk for the patch * TabularEditor now supports editing of all columns: Thanks to Didrik Pinte for the patch * DateEditor in 'custom' style now supports multi-select feature. * DateEditor and TimeEditor now support the 'readonly' style. * Added a trait to the wx pyface workbench View to indicate if the view dock window should be closeable. * Fixed the DirectoryEditor to popup the correct file dialog (thanks to Luca Fasano and Phil Thompson) * Fixed a circular import error in Color, Font and RGBColor traits * Fixed a bug in the ColorEditor that was causing the revert action to not work correctly. * Fixed a bug that caused a traceback when trying to undock a pyface dock window * Fixed a bug in the 'livemodal' view that caused the UI to become unresponsive if the 'updated' event was fired on the contained view. * Fixed bugs in ListEditor (notebook style) that caused a loss of sync between the 'selected' trait and the activated dock window.

pylint 0.17.0 and astng 0.18.0 release
by Emile Anclin March 23, 2009

March 23, 2009

Hello, we are glad to announce the release of pylint 0.17.0 http://www.logilab.org/project/pylint/0.17.0 which is based on a major refactoring of astng (0.18.0) http://www.logilab.org/project/logilab-astng/0.18.0 . For python 2.5, pylint will now use python's _ast module which is much faster than the older compiler.ast module. See the ChangeLog files for more detailed information and our blogentry http://www.logilab.org/blogentry/8554 explaining how we support both compiler and _ast. -- Emile Anclin <emile.anclin(a)logilab.fr> http://www.logilab.fr/ http://www.logilab.org/ Informatique scientifique & et gestion de connaissances

Paver 1.0 released
by Kevin Dangoor March 23, 2009

March 23, 2009

After months of use in production and about two months of public testing for 1.0, Paver 1.0 has been released. The changes between Paver 0.8.1, the most recent stable release, and 1.0 are quite significant. Paver 1.0 is easier, cleaner, less magical and just better all around. The backwards compatibility breaks should be easy enough to work around, are described in DeprecationWarnings and were introduced in 1.0a1 back in January. Paver's home page: http://www.blueskyonmars.com/projects/paver/ What is Paver? =========== Paver is a Python-based software project scripting tool along the lines of Make or Rake. It is not designed to handle the dependency tracking requirements of, for example, a C program. It *is* designed to help out with all of your other repetitive tasks (run documentation generators, moving files about, downloading things), all with the convenience of Python's syntax and massive library of code. If you're developing applications in Python, you get even more... Most public Python projects use distutils or setuptools to create source tarballs for distribution. (Private projects can take advantage of this, too!) Have you ever wanted to generate the docs before building the source distribution? With Paver, you can, trivially. Here's a complete pavement.py:: from paver.easy import * from paver.setuputils import setup setup( name="MyCoolProject", packages=['mycool'], version="1.0", url="http://www.blueskyonmars.com/", author="Kevin Dangoor", author_email="dangoor(a)gmail.com" ) @task @needs(['html', "distutils.command.sdist"]) def sdist(): """Generate docs and source distribution.""" pass With that pavement file, you can just run ``paver sdist``, and your docs will be rebuilt automatically before creating the source distribution. It's also easy to move the generated docs into some other directory (and, of course, you can tell Paver where your docs are stored, if they're not in the default location.) Installation ------------ The easiest way to get Paver is if you have setuptools_ installed. ``easy_install Paver`` Without setuptools, it's still pretty easy. Download the Paver .tgz file from `Paver's Cheeseshop page`_, untar it and run: ``python setup.py install`` .. _Paver's Cheeseshop page: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/Paver/ .. _setuptools: http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/EasyInstall Help and Development -------------------- You can get help from the `mailing list`_. If you'd like to help out with Paver, you can check the code out from Googlecode: ``svn checkout http://paver.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ paver-read-only`` You can also take a look at `Paver's project page on Googlecode < http://code.google.com/p/paver/>`_. .. _mailing list: http://groups.google.com/group/paver -- Kevin Dangoor work: http://labs.mozilla.com/ email: kid(a)blazingthings.com blog: http://www.BlueSkyOnMars.com
