The PySide team is proud to announce the first release candidate of PySide: 
Python for Qt version 1.0.0. We consider PySide quality already high enough 
for the 1.0 release, and to ensure a high-quality 1.0 release, we are 
providing a release candidate to catch any last-minute regressions. Please 
pound this release hard to help us verify there are no serious outstanding 
issues!

This is a source code release only; new versions of PySide and the toolchain 
components have been tagged in our git repositories [1] and the respective 
source code tarballs are available via our download wiki pages [2]. We hope 
our community packagers will be providing binary packages shortly.

Major changes since 1.0.0 beta 5
=====================

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 the 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 Qt Mobility, as well as to 
generator tools for rapidly generating bindings for any C++ 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 [1], an open 
Bugzilla [3] for reporting bugs, and an open design process [4]. We welcome 
any contribution without requiring a transfer of copyright.
