[Mark Mc Mahon]

Hi,

0.3.7 release of pywinauto is now available.

pywinauto is an open-source (LGPL) package for using Python as a GUI
automation 'driver' for Windows NT based Operating Systems (NT/W2K/XP/Vista?).

Here is the list of changes from the previous release (0.3.6):

0.3.7 Merge of Wait changes and various bug fixes/improvements
------------------------------------------------------------------
10-April-2007

* Added Timings.WaitUntil() and Timings.WaitUntilPasses() which
  handle the various wait until something in the code. Also
  refactored existing waits to use these two methods.

* Fixed a major Handle leak in RemoteMemorBlock class (which is
  used extensively for 'Common' controls. I was using OpenHandle
  to open the process handle, but was not calling CloseHandle()
  for each corresponding OpenHandle().

* Added an active_() method to Application class to return the
  active window of the application.

* Added an 'active' option to WindowSpecification.Wait() and
  WaitNot().

* Some cleanup of the clipboard module. GetFormatName()
  was improved and GetData() made a little more robust.

* Added an option to findwindows.find_windows() to find only
  active windows (e.g. active_only = True). Default is False.

* Fixed a bug in the timings.Timings class - timing values are
  Now accessed through the class (Timings) and not through the
  intance (self).

* Updated ElementTree import in XMLHelpers so that it would work
  on Python 2.5 (where elementtree is a standard module) as well
  as other versions where ElementTree is a separate module.

* Enhanced Item selection for ListViews, TreeViews - it is now
  possible to pass strings and they will be searched for. More
  documentation is required though.

* Greatly enhanced Toolbar button clicking, selection, etc.
  Though more documentation is required.

* Added option to ClickInput() to allow mouse wheel movements
  to be made.

* menuwrapper.Menu.GetProperties() now returns a dict like all other
  GetProperties() methods. This dict for now only has one key
  'MenuItems' which contains the list of menuitems (which had been
  the previous return value).


Thanks
 Mark
