[cross posting to maemo-developers and pymaemo-developers mailing lists] The PySide team is proud to announce the first release candidate of PySide: Python for Qt version 1.0.0 for Maemo 5. PySide provides a complete set of LGPL-licensed Qt bindings for Python, including full QML and QtMobility support.
The binary packages for PySide 1.0.0~rc1 are already available in the maemo.org extras-devel repository. To use them, install the python-pyside metapackage, which depends on every individual module package. The source code packages can be acquired by referring to our download wiki page [1] or by pulling the relevant tagged versions from our git repositories [2]. Major changes since 1.0.0~beta5 =============================== Since beta 5, no new features have been added. Instead, a total of 28 bugs have been fixed. See the list of fixed bugs at the end of this message. Path towards 1.0 release ======================== We intend this to be the release candidate in the literal sense of the term: only major regressions and critical bugs will be fixed between the release candidate and 1.0 final. Therefore, fixes to any bugs in our Bugzilla [3] with priority less than P1 will be applied only after the 1.0 release. However, please file any bugs you find - the bug reports are vital in both increasing the PySide product quality and in ensuring that your issues get resolved in a timely manner! Barring any major quality issues, the 1.0 release will happen in two weeks from now. After that, maintenance work for fixing bugs and improving the code quality will continue, as well as work towards more substantial improvements such as Python 3 support and memory footprint optimization. About PySide ============ PySide is the Nokia-sponsored Python Qt bindings project, providing access to not only the complete Qt 4.7 framework but also to Qt Mobility, as well as to generator tools for rapidly generating bindings for any Qt-based libraries. The PySide project is developed in the open, with all facilities you'd expect from any modern OSS project such as all code in a git repository [2], an open Bugzilla [3] for reporting bugs, and an open design process [4]. We welcome any contribution without requiring a transfer of copyright.
