Tryton 2.2 released
by Nicolas Évrard Nov. 3, 2011

Nov. 3, 2011

Hello everyone, We're announcing the release of Tryton 2.2 What is it? =========== Tryton is a three-tiers high level general purpose application platform using either PostgreSQL, MySQL or SQLite as database engine. The core of Tryton provides all the necessary functionalities for a complete application framework: data persistence, extensive modularity, users management (authentication, fine grained control for data access, handling of concurrent access of resources), workflow and report engines, web services and internationalisation. Website: http://www.tryton.org/ What's new? =========== Here are some of the more important changes to the Tryton client: * The pop-up windows are now "no modal", which means that they are linked to the tab in which they were opened. Creating a new tab is now possible. Also, switching from one tab to the other restores the state of the opened pop-up windows. * The search widget has been completely redesigned. We are now using a unique widget which allow users to use the search function in a much more natural way using a simple syntax. An auto-completion system has been included to help users write their search query. * The action toolbar on the bottom of the screen has been merged with main toolbar. * The user experience has been improved by using the same design from the Many2Many and One2Many widgets. The server side also had its part of changes: * The access rights on the relation fields are now checked on the server side, thus those fields will not be displayed to the user (preventing the "You can not read this document" messages). * The report engine can now output any kind of OpenDocument file. Thanks to unoconv, all documents can be converted to another format such as the widely used .doc format… * The translation is now managed with .po file. We hope that it will ease the job of the translators as now they can use the tools they are used to. * The use of a LRU cache on the session reduce the memory footprint of the server. -- Nicolas Évrard B2CK SPRL rue de Rotterdam, 4 4000 Liège Belgium Tel: +32 472 54 46 59 E-mail/Jabber: nicolas.evrard(a)b2ck.com Website: http://www.b2ck.com/

ANN: Spyder v2.1
by Pierre Raybaut Nov. 3, 2011

Nov. 3, 2011

Hi all, On the behalf of Spyder's development team (http://code.google.com/p/spyderlib/people/list), I'm pleased to announce that Spyder v2.1 has been released and is available for Windows XP/Vista/7, GNU/Linux and MacOS X: http://code.google.com/p/spyderlib/ Spyder is a free, open-source (MIT license) interactive development environment for the Python language with advanced editing, interactive testing, debugging and introspection features. Originally designed to provide MATLAB-like features (integrated help, interactive console, variable explorer with GUI-based editors for dictionaries, NumPy arrays, ...), it is strongly oriented towards scientific computing and software development. Thanks to the `spyderlib` library, Spyder also provides powerful ready-to-use widgets: embedded Python console (example: http://packages.python.org/guiqwt/_images/sift3.png), NumPy array editor (example: http://packages.python.org/guiqwt/_images/sift2.png), dictionary editor, source code editor, etc. Description of key features with tasty screenshots can be found at: http://code.google.com/p/spyderlib/wiki/Features This release represents a year of development since v2.0 and introduces major enhancements and new features: * Large performance and stability improvements * PySide support (PyQt is no longer exclusively required) * New profiler plugin (thanks to Santiago Jaramillo, a new contributor) * Experimental support for IPython v0.11+ * And many other changes: http://code.google.com/p/spyderlib/wiki/ChangeLog On Windows platforms, Spyder is also available as a stand-alone executable (don't forget to disable UAC on Vista/7). This all-in-one portable version is still experimental (for example, it does not embed sphinx -- meaning no rich text mode for the object inspector) but it should provide a working version of Spyder for Windows platforms without having to install anything else (except Python 2.x itself, of course). Don't forget to follow Spyder updates/news: * on the project website: http://code.google.com/p/spyderlib/ * and on our official blog: http://spyder-ide.blogspot.com/ Last, but not least, we welcome any contribution that helps making Spyder an efficient scientific development/computing environment. Join us to help creating your favourite environment! (http://code.google.com/p/spyderlib/wiki/NoteForContributors) Enjoy! -Pierre

[ANN] Python Tools for Visual Studio 1.1 Alpha
by Dino Viehland Nov. 2, 2011

Nov. 2, 2011

We're pleased to announce the release of Python Tools for Visual Studio 1.1 Alpha [http://pytools.codeplex.com/releases/view/69667]. Python Tools for Visual Studio (PTVS) is an open-source plug-in for Visual Studio which supports programming with the Python programming language. This release includes new core IDE features, a couple of new sample libraries for interacting with Kinect and Excel, and many bug fixes for issues reported since the release of 1.0. For the core IDE features we've added many new features which improve the basic editing experience. This includes a feature for automatically adding imports after typing an identifier, a command for cleaning up unused imports, support for recognizing isinstance() calls and using them for providing improved completions, and using goto definition to go to members defined in the standard library. We've also made improvements to the project system so it'll behave more like the C# including proper support of linked files outside of the project directory. And we've made some improvements to our IPython REPL support including support for inline graphs and proper support for IPython's numbered prompts. Finally we've made several small improvements to the debugger including the option to step into the Python standard library while debugging, the option to not break on SystemExit exception with exit codes of zero as well as displaying the Python thread name in the threads window. Altogether this release includes over 100 features and bug fixes - a complete list of the changes is available here<http://bit.ly/PyTools11Fixed> Another major addition to this release includes the addition of two additional sample libraries available as separate downloads: PyKinect for working with the Kinect Beta SDK and Pyvot for working with Excel spreadsheets. Once downloaded and installed, these plug-in to Visual Studio and provide project templates; they also provide built-in support for installing into one of the recognized Python interpreters via Tools->Python Tools->Samples. The PyKinect sample is a wrapper around the Kinect SDK and enables development with the Kinect SDK directly from Python. The library presents an API which is similar to the API exposed via the Kinect SDK for C# developers. The sample includes a new template for quickly getting started creating games using PyGame with PyKinect. PyKinect is licensed under a license similar to the existing Kinect SDK. PyKinect only requires a Python implementation with ctypes - currently only Python 2.7 is supported. Pyvot (pronounced Pivot) connects familiar data-exploration and visualization tools in Excel with the powerful data analysis and transformation capabilities of Python, with an emphasis on tabular data. It provides a minimal and Pythonic interface to Excel, smoothing over the pain points in using the existing Excel object model as exposed via COM. Pyvot is licensed under the same Apache license that the rest of PTVS is distributed under. Pyvot requires pywin32 and currently runs on Python 2.6 or Python 2.7. We'd like to thank all of the users who took the time to report issues and feedback for this release: 445363200, AphexSA, benpmorgan, chadbr, dgkbny, drgn, holmboe, lblanchon, mahpour, pztrick44, salerio, slideomix, somini, stakemura, sumitbasu, swift_dev, teebot, timeisaparallax, tonyandrewmeyer, xaviergrundus, and Zooba. Thanks, The Python Tools for Visual Studio Team

[ANN] bzr 2.4.2 released
by Vincent Ladeuil Nov. 2, 2011

Nov. 2, 2011

Hi all, Here comes 2.4.2, our new stable release. Bazaar <http://bazaar.canonical.com/> is a Canonical project and part of the GNU project <http://gnu.org/> to produce a free operating system. This is a bugfix release. Most of the bugs dealt with portability issues. Upgrading is recommended for all users of earlier 2.4 releases. 2.4.2 contains all known bug fixes for all stable releases (including the ones we made for the previous stable series). Thanks to all participants sending merge proposals, comments, suggestions and feedback, we very much appreciate all of them. Bazaar is now available for download from https://launchpad.net/bzr/2.4/2.4.2/ as a source tarball. Installers are on their way for windows and OSX and will be available from the url above. 2.4.2 should be uploaded to debian and ubuntu Really Soon Now too. The detailed changelog is available below, Vincent Improvements ************ * Fixed a bug where ``bzr tags -r x..y`` loaded the branch history once for every revision in the range; it's now much faster. (Vincent Ladeuil, #857335) Bug Fixes ********* * Fixed an infinite loop when creating a repo at the root of the filesystem, i.e. "/", due to posixpath.normpath() not collapsing 2 leading slashes into one, thus respecting the POSIX standard, but making relpath() loop infinitely. (Florian Vichot, #861008) * Fixed loading of external merge tools from config to properly decode command-lines which contain embedded quotes. (Gordon Tyler, #828803) * Include declaration of 'changed' to avoid an UnboundLocalError in dirstate pyrex code with new Cython versions. (Denys Duchier, #837221) * Prevent several kinds of OverflowError and other fallout from failing to fit stat fields into four bytes in dirstate pack_stat implementations. (Martin Packman, #683191 #706957) * Return early from create_delta_index_from_delta given tiny inputs. This avoids raising a spurious MemoryError on certain platforms such as AIX. (John Arbash Meinel, #856731) Documentation ************* * Corrected documentation for ``bzr serve`` in the Admin Guide. (Morten Bøgeskov, Martin Pool, #832576) API Changes *********** None. Internals ********* No changes. Testing ******* * Accept both old and new style testtools output in selftest tests. (Jelmer Vernooij, Martin Packman, #815423) * Fix the race for TestingThreadingTCPServer in test_server_crash_while_responding. (Vincent Ladeuil, #869366) * Really corrupt the pack file without depending on a special length or value. (Vincent Ladeuil, #807032)
