[Announce] PyGooCanvas 0.14.0
by Gian Mario Tagliaretti 17 Mar '09

17 Mar '09

I am pleased to announce version 0.14.0 of the Python bindings for Goocanvas. It is available at: http://download.gnome.org/sources/pygoocanvas/0.14/ The bindings are updated with the new Goocanvas API PyGooCanvas 0.14.0 (Mar 17 2009) ================== o Update the docs with new goocanvas API and some random fixes (Gian Mario) o Add an export SVG function in the demo (Gian Mario) Blurb: ====== Goocanvas [1] is a canvas widget for GTK+, It is similar in many ways to FooCanvas, hence the name, but it uses cairo for rendering, it has an optional model/view split, and uses interfaces for items & views (so you can easily turn any application object into a canvas item or view). PyGooCanvas is a wrapper which exposes the goocanvas API to the python world. It is fairly complete; most of the API are covered. The documentation is done, anyway bug reports on docs are really important to improve the documentation. Like the GTK+ library, PyGTK and GooCanvas itself PyGooCanvas is licensed under the GNU LGPL, so is suitable for use in both free software and proprietary applications. PyGooCanvas requires: ===================== o Goocanvas >= 0.14 o PyGObject >= 2.10.1 (2.11.3 to build the docs) o PyGTK >= 2.10.4 (2.12.0 to use gtk.Tooltip) o PyCairo >= 1.4.0 Bug reports should go to http://bugzilla.gnome.org/browse.cgi?product=pygoocanvas [1] http://live.gnome.org/GooCanvas cheers -- Gian Mario Tagliaretti GNOME Foundation member gianmt(a)gnome.org

Sphinx 0.6 and 0.5.2, beta 1, released
by Georg Brandl 16 Mar '09

16 Mar '09

Hi all, I'm proud to announce the release of Sphinx 0.6b1 and 0.5.2b1. Sphinx 0.5.2 is a bugfix-only release in the 0.5 series, while 0.6 is a feature release, containing all of 0.5.2's fixes together with many added features. These are beta releases, so please test them out and report any bugs to sphinx-dev(a)googlegroups.com or the tracker at <http://bitbucket.org/birkenfeld/sphinx/>. Thank you! The finals will be out in a week's time, if no severe problems are uncovered. What is it? =========== Sphinx is a tool that makes it easy to create intelligent and beautiful documentation for Python projects (or other documents consisting of multiple reStructuredText source files). Websites: 0.5 series <http://sphinx.pocoo.org/> 0.6 series <http://sphinx.pocoo.org/latest/> What's new in 0.6 (short version)? ================================== Long version: http://sphinx.pocoo.org/latest/changes.html * General/Markup: - Templating now requires the Jinja2 library, which is an enhanced version of the old Jinja1 engine. - Theming support, see the new section in the documentation. - Due to popular demand, added a ``:doc:`` role which directly links to another document without the need of creating a label to which a ``:ref:`` could link to. - Added a ``:download:`` role that marks a non-document file for inclusion into the HTML output and links to it. - Added an ``only`` directive that can selectively include text based on enabled "tags". Tags can be given on the command line. Also, the current builder output format (e.g. "html" or "latex") is always a defined tag. - Added HTML section numbers, enabled by giving a ``:numbered:`` flag to the ``toctree`` directive. - The ``literalinclude`` directive now supports several more options, to include only parts of a file. - The ``toctree`` directive now supports a ``:hidden:`` flag, which will prevent links from being generated in place of the directive -- this allows you to define your document structure, but place the links yourself. - Paths to images, literal include files and download files can now be absolute (like ``/images/foo.png``). They are treated as relative to the top source directory. - SVG images are now supported in HTML (via ``<object>`` and ``<embed>`` tags). * Configuration: - The new config value ``rst_epilog`` can contain reST that is appended to each source file that is read. This is the right place for global substitutions. - The new ``html_add_permalinks`` config value can be used to switch off the generated "paragraph sign" permalinks for each heading and definition environment. - The new ``html_show_sourcelink`` config value can be used to switch off the links to the reST sources in the sidebar. - The default value for ``htmlhelp_basename`` is now the project title, cleaned up as a filename. - The new ``modindex_common_prefix`` config value can be used to ignore certain package names for module index sorting. - The new ``trim_footnote_reference_space`` config value mirrors the docutils config value of the same name and removes the space before a footnote reference that is necessary for reST to recognize the reference. - The new ``latex_additional_files`` config value can be used to copy files (that Sphinx doesn't copy automatically, e.g. if they are referenced in custom LaTeX added in ``latex_elements``) to the build directory. * Builders: - The new ``DirectoryHTMLBuilder`` (short name ``dirhtml``) creates a separate directory for every page, and places the page there in a file called ``index.html``. Therefore, page URLs and links don't need to contain ``.html``. - The new ``html_link_suffix`` config value can be used to select the suffix of generated links between HTML files. - #96: The LaTeX builder now supports figures wrapped by text, when using the ``figwidth`` option and right/left alignment. * New translations: - Italian by Sandro Dentella. - Ukrainian by Petro Sasnyk. - Finnish by Jukka Inkeri. * Extensions and API: - New ``graphviz`` extension to embed graphviz graphs. - New ``inheritance_diagram`` extension to embed... inheritance diagrams! - New ``autosummary`` extension that generates summaries of modules and automatic documentation of modules. - Autodoc now has a reusable Python API, which can be used to create custom types of objects to auto-document (e.g. Zope interfaces). See also ``Sphinx.add_autodocumenter()``. - Autodoc now handles documented attributes. - Autodoc now handles inner classes and their methods. - Autodoc can document classes as functions now if explicitly marked with `autofunction`. - Autodoc can now exclude single members from documentation via the ``exclude-members`` option. - Autodoc can now order members either alphabetically (like previously) or by member type; configurable either with the config value ``autodoc_member_order`` or a ``member-order`` option per directive. * New command-line features: - Config overrides for single dict keys can now be given on the command line. - Source links in HTML are now generated with ``rel="nofollow"``. - Quickstart can now generate a Windows ``make.bat`` file. - There is now a ``-w`` option for sphinx-build that writes warnings to a file, in addition to stderr. - There is now a ``-W`` option for sphinx-build that turns warnings into errors. cheers, Georg

Lepton particle engine 0.9a released
by Casey Duncan 15 Mar '09

15 Mar '09

It is again my pleasure to announce the latest version of the Lepton particle engine for Python. Some important new features, bug fixes and examples are in this new release, and I encourage you to check it out. Here's the lowdown from the change list: - Fix reference leaks in particle emission and domain generate methods - Plane domains are now proper half-space geometries so they support __contains__, which means they can be used with the Collector controller. - Implement Point domain. - Implement arbitrarily orientable Disc, Cylinder and Cone domains. - Add tunnel example. - Implement new closest_point_to() methods for various domains. - Fix distribution of points generated in a Sphere domain with a nonzero inner radius. - Refactor renderer/group binding to avoid circrefs and an infinite loop bug. This also simplifies the API. Thanks to Ken Lauer for the report. - Fix color bug in the billboard renderer, thanks again to Ken Lauer. - Add ParticleSystem.run_ahead() method to warm up the particle system or "fast forward" the simulation. - Add Magnet controller and example. Thanks to Andrew Charles for the initial implementation of these. - Various code cleanups and fixes for building on Windows. Thanks to Jussi Lepistö. Get it Here ========= http://code.google.com/p/py-lepton/ http://pypi.python.org/pypi/lepton/ What is Lepton, Exactly? ==================== Lepton is a high-performance, pluggable particle engine and API for Python. It is designed for creating graphical special effects for games or other visual applications. The engine is designed to be very flexible and does not rely on any other libraries directly. You can use it either with OpenGL (via pyglet, PyOpenGL, wxPython, etc), or with pygame by selecting the appropriate renderer. Examples are provided using pyglet and pygame. If you have questions or comments or would like to contribute, you can join the google group at: http://groups.google.com/group/py-lepton-users Enjoy. -Casey

[ANNOUNCE] bzr 1.13 released
by Bob Tanner 15 Mar '09

15 Mar '09

This release includes bug fixes and a few performance and feature improvements. GNU Changelog output can now be produced by ``bzr log --format gnu- changelog``. Debug flags can now be set in ``~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf``. Lightweight Checkouts and Stacked Branches should both be much faster over remote connections. The Bazaar team is happy to announce availability of a new 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. bzr 1.13 "paraskavedekatriaphobia" 2009-03-14 ----------------------------------------------------------------- CHANGES FROM bzr 1.13rc1 2009-03-10: BUG FIXES: * Fix "is not a stackable format" error when pushing a stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a destination with a default stacking policy. (Andrew Bennetts) * Progress bars now show the rate of network activity for ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``bzr://`` connections. (Andrew Bennetts) COMPATIBILITY BREAKS: * ``bzr log --line`` now indicates which revisions are merges with `[merge]` after the date. Scripts which parse the output of this command may need to be adjusted. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell) NEW FEATURES: * ``bzr reconfigure`` now supports --with-trees and --with-no-trees options to change the default tree-creation policy of shared repositories. (Matthew Fuller, Marius Kruger, #145033) * Debug flags can now be set in ``~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf``. (Martin Pool) * Filtered views provide a mask over the tree so that users can focus on a subset of a tree when doing their work. See ``Filtered views`` in chapter 7 of the User Guide and ``bzr help view`` for details. (Ian Clatworthy) * GNU Changelog output can now be produced by ``bzr log --format gnu-changelog``. (Andrea Bolognani, Martin Pool) * The ``-Dmemory`` flag now gives memory information on Windows. (John Arbash Meinel) * Multiple authors for a commit can now be recorded by using the "--author" option multiple times. (James Westby, #185772) * New clean-tree command, from bzrtools. (Aaron Bentley, Jelmer Vernoij) * New command ``bzr launchpad-open`` opens a Launchpad web page for that branch in your web browser, as long as the branch is on Launchpad at all. (Jonathan Lange) IMPROVEMENTS: * ``bzr add`` no longer prints ``add completed`` on success. Failure still prints an error message. (Robert Collins) * ``bzr branch`` now has a ``--no-tree`` option which turns off the generation of a working tree in the new branch. (Daniel Watkins, John Klinger, #273993) * Bazaar will now point out ``bzr+ssh://`` to the user when they use ssh://. (Jelmer Vernooij, #330535) * ``bzr -v info`` now omits the number of committers branch statistic, making it many times faster for large projects. To include that statistic in the output, use ``bzr -vv info``. (Ian Clatworthy) * ``bzr push`` to a ``bzr`` url (``bzr://``, ``bzr+ssh://`` etc) will stream if the server is version 1.13 or greater, reducing roundtrips significantly. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins) * Lightweight Checkouts and Stacked Branches should both be much faster over remote connections. Building the working tree now batches up requests into approx 5MB requests, rather than a separate request for each file. (John Arbash Meinel) * Support for GSSAPI authentication when using HTTP or HTTPS. (Jelmer Vernooij) * The ``bzr shelve`` prompt now includes a '?' help option to explain the short options better. (Daniel Watkins, #327429) * ``bzr lp-open`` now falls back to the push location if it cannot find a public location. (Jonathan Lange, #332372) * ``bzr lp-open`` will try to find the Launchpad URL for the location passed on the command line. This makes ``bzr lp-open lp:foo`` work as expected. (Jonathan Lange, #332705) * ``bzr send`` now supports MH-E via ``emacsclient``. (Eric Gillespie) BUG FIXES: * Bazaar now gives a better message including the filename if it's unable to read a file in the working directory, for example because of a permission error. (Martin Pool, #338653) * ``bzr send`` help is more specific about how to apply merge directives. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #253470) * ``bzr missing`` now uses ``Repository.get_revision_delta()`` rather than fetching trees and determining a delta itself. (Jelmer Vernooij, #315048) * ``bzr push`` to a smart server no longer causes "Revision {set([('null:',)])} not present ..." errors when the branch has multiple root revisions. (Andrew Bennetts, #317654) * ``bzr shelve`` now properly handle patches with no terminating newline. (Benoît PIERRE, #303569) * ``bzr unshelve`` gives a more palatable error if passed a non- integer shelf id. (Daniel Watkins) * Export now handles files that are not present in the tree. (James Westby, #174539) * Fixed "sprout() got an unexpected keyword argument 'source_branch'" error branching from old repositories. (Martin Pool, #321695) * Make ``bzr push --quiet <non-local location>`` less chatty. (Kent Gibson, #221461) * Many Branch hooks would not fire with ``bzr://`` and ``bzr +ssh://`` branches, and this was not noticed due to a bug in the test logic for branches. This is now fixed and a test added to prevent it reoccuring. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts) * Restore the progress bar on Windows. We were disabling it when TERM wasn't set, but Windows doesn't set TERM. (Alexander Belchenko) * ``setup.py build_ext`` now gives a proper error when an extension fails to build. (John Arbash Meinel) * Symlinks to non ascii file names are now supported. (Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil, #339055, #272444) * Under rare circumstances (aka nobody reported a bug about it), the ftp transport could revert to ascii mode. It now stays in binary mode except when needed. (Vincent Ladeuil) * Unshelve does not generate warnings about progress bars. (Aaron Bentley, #328148) DOCUMENTATION: * Added ``Organizing your workspace`` to the User Guide appendices, summarizing some common ways of organizing trees, branches and repositories and the processes/workflows implied/enabled by each. (Ian Clatworthy) * Hooks can now be self documenting. ``bzrlib.hooks.Hooks.create_hook`` is the entry point for this feature. (Robert Collins) * The documentation for ``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` has been clarified. (Daniel Watkins, #327421, #327425) API CHANGES: * ``bzr selftest`` now fails if the bazaar sources contain trailing whitespace, non-unix style line endings and files not ending in a newline. About 372 files and 3243 lines with trailing whitespace was updated to comply with this. The code already complied with the other criteria, but now it is enforced. (Marius Kruger) * ``Branch.fetch`` and ``Repository.fetch`` now return None rather than a count of copied revisions and failed revisions. A while back we stopped ever reporting failed revisions because we started erroring instead, and the copied revisions count is not used in the UI at all - indeed it only reflects the repository status not changes to the branch itself. (Robert Collins) * MutableTree.commit now favours the "authors" argument, with the old "author" argument being deprecated. * Remove deprecated EmptyTree. (Martin Pool) * ``Repository.fetch`` now accepts an optional ``fetch_spec`` parameter. A ``SearchResult`` or ``MiniSearchResult`` may be passed to ``fetch_spec`` instead of a ``last_revision`` to specify exactly which revisions to fetch. (Andrew Bennetts) * ``RepositoryAcquisitionPolicy.acquire_repository`` now returns a tuple of ``(repository, is_new_flag)``, rather than just the repository. (Andrew Bennetts) * Revision.get_apparent_author() is now deprecated, replaced by Revision.get_apparent_authors(), which returns a list. The former now returns the first item that would be returned from the second. * The ``BranchBuilder`` test helper now accepts a ``timestamp`` parameter to ``build_commit`` and ``build_snapshot``. (Martin Pool) * The ``_fetch_*`` attributes on ``Repository`` are now on ``RepositoryFormat``, more accurately reflecting their intent (they describe a disk format capability, not state of a particular repository of that format). (Robert Collins) INTERNALS: * Branching from a non-stacked branch on a smart protocol is now free of virtual file system methods. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts) * Branch and Repository creation on a bzr+ssh://server are now done via RPC calls rather than VFS calls, reducing round trips for pushing new branches substantially. (Robert Collins) * ``Branch.clone`` now takes the ``repository_policy`` formerly used inside ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport``, allowing stacking to be configured before the branch tags and revision tip are set. This fixes a race condition cloning stacked branches that would cause plugins to have hooks called on non-stacked instances. (Robert Collins, #334187) * ``BzrDir.cloning_metadir`` now has a RPC call. (Robert Collins) * ``BzrDirFormat.__str__`` now uses the human readable description rather than the sometimes-absent disk label. (Robert Collins) * ``bzrlib.fetch`` is now composed of a sender and a sink component allowing for decoupling over a network connection. Fetching from or into a RemoteRepository with a 1.13 server will use this to stream the operation. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins) * ``bzrlib.tests.run_suite`` accepts a runner_class parameter supporting the use of different runners. (Robert Collins) * Change how file_ids and revision_ids are interned as part of inventory deserialization. Now we use the real ``intern()``, rather than our own workaround that would also cache a Unicode copy of the string, and never emptied the cache. This should slightly reduce memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel) * New branch method ``create_clone_on_transport`` that returns a branch object. (Robert Collins) * New hook Commands['extend_command'] to allow plugins to access a command object before the command is run (or help generated from it), without overriding the command. (Robert Collins) * New version of the ``BzrDir.find_repository`` verb supporting ``_network_name`` to support removing more _ensure_real calls. (Robert Collins) * ``RemoteBranchFormat`` no longer claims to have a disk format string. (Robert Collins) * ``Repository`` objects now have ``suspend_write_group`` and ``resume_write_group`` methods. These are currently only useful with pack repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins) * ``BzrDirFormat``, ``BranchFormat`` and ``RepositoryFormat`` objects now have a ``network_name`` for passing the format across RPC calls. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts) * ``RepositoryFormat`` objects now all have a new attribute ``_serializer`` used by fetch when reserialising is required. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts) * Some methods have been pulled up from ``BzrBranch`` to ``Branch`` to aid branch types that are not bzr branch objects (like RemoteBranch). (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts) * Test adaptation has been made consistent throughout the built in tests. ``TestScenarioApplier``, ``multiply_tests_from_modules``, ``adapt_tests``, ``adapt_modules`` have all been deleted. Please use ``multiply_tests``, or for lower level needs ``apply_scenarios`` and ``apply_scenario``. (Robert Collins) * ``TestSkipped`` is now detected by TestCase and passed to the ``TestResult`` by calling ``addSkip``. For older TestResult objects, where ``addSkip`` is not available, ``addError`` is still called. This permits test filtering in subunit to strip out skipped tests resulting in a faster fix-shrink-list-run cycle. This is compatible with the testtools protocol for skips. (Robert Collins) * The ``_index`` of ``KnitVersionedFiles`` now supports the ability to scan an underlying index that is going to be incorporated into the ``KnitVersionedFiles`` object, to determine if it has missing delta references. The method is ``scan_unvalidated_index``. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins) * There is a RemoteSink object which handles pushing to smart servers. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins) * ``TransportTraceDecorator`` now logs ``put_bytes_non_atomic`` and ``rmdir`` calls. (Robert Collins) * ``VersionedFiles`` record adapters have had their signature change from ``(record, record.get_bytes_as(record.storage_kind))`` to ``(record)`` reducing excess duplication and allowing adapters to access private data in record to obtain content more efficiently. (Robert Collins) * We no longer probe to see if we should create a working tree during clone if we cannot get a local_abspath for the new bzrdir. (Robert Collins) bzr 1.12 "1234567890" 2009-02-13 -------------------------------- This release of Bazaar contains many improvements to the speed, documentation and functionality of ``bzr log`` and the display of logged revisions by ``bzr status``. bzr now also gives a better indication of progress, both in the way operations are drawn onto a text terminal, and by showing the rate of network IO. BUG FIXES: * ``bzr init --development-wt5[-rich-root]`` would fail because of circular import errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #328135) DOCUMENTATION: * Expanded the help for log and added a new help topic called ``log-formats``.
