[Twisted-Python] I am Jack's complete lack of software release discipline.
by Glyph Lefkowitz 04 Aug '01

04 Aug '01

So, after a flurry of 3 releases, one after the other, and then a week of silence, I'm putting together another release (0.9.4), this one with a big pile of new functionality. A sampler: * C implementation of banana's decoding method * some small enhancements to PB * new twisted.words chat service and Instance Messenger client. * more robust IRC service integrated with twisted.words * twisted.mail re-integrated On the documentation front, I've written a few more examples, a few more docstrings, and a several people (namely Kevin Turner, David Creswick, and David Sturgis) seem to be focusing on documenting PB and Twisted.Web; again I'd like to emphasize that anyone else wanting to write documentation should do so! :) I've also put a TODO into CVS, so if you think of something you'd like to see done, even if it's pie in the sky, I'll put it in so that incoming developers have something to look at. ______ __ __ _____ _ _ | ____ | \_/ |_____] |_____| |_____| |_____ | | | | @ t w i s t e d m a t r i x . c o m http://twistedmatrix.com/users/glyph

[Twisted-Python] ch-ch-ch-changes
by Glyph Lefkowitz 02 Aug '01

02 Aug '01

In my personal repository, I'm making a change to pb that I want to mention before I commit. Previously, there was no notion of a reference back to the "client", in a PB service. A perspective could provide an 'observe' method or similiar, to allow the user to see what was going on. However, given that this is such a frequent request, I'll be adding an optinonal argument to requestPerspective that specifies a client-side object that represents the "inverse perspective"; a direct reference to something that represents the client's connection. This works quite well for twisted.reality and twisted.words (the new chat framework I'm working on). This will break pb services on tm.com yet again when I check it in, due to protocol changes that support this (sorry guys!), but this time it should be nothing more than a server restart for those of you who are running web subservers. ______ __ __ _____ _ _ | ____ | \_/ |_____] |_____| |_____| |_____ | | | | @ t w i s t e d m a t r i x . c o m http://twistedmatrix.com/users/glyph
