I am pleased to announce version 3.11.5 of the Python bindings for GObject. This is the fifth alpha release of the 3.11.x series for GNOME 3.12.
Notable in this release is a lots of internal refactoring and reorganizing of modules. PyGObject has gone from building four shared libraries (_gi.so, _gobject.so, _glib.so, and libpyglib-gi-2.0.so) down to one (_gi.so). This eases internal code sharing and should making packaging for various platforms a bit simpler. Download ======== The new release is available from ftp.gnome.org: https://download.gnome.org/sources/pygobject/3.11/pygobject-3.11.5.tar.xz (680K) sha256sum: 26458b012e5d443d9b4a81d9eb9ad3207f5f050c962f5bd09f16aa034d284685 What's new in PyGObject 3.11.5 ================================= - cache refactoring: Move all cache marshalers into files based on type (Simon Feltman) (#709700) - tests: Add test for an owned boxed struct passed in a callback (Mike Gorse) (#722899) - build: Add --without-common configure option for package maintainers (Patrick Welche) (#721646) - demo: Add TreeModel interface implementation demonstration (Simon Feltman) - build: Set PLATFORM_VERSION again to 3.0 (Colin Walters) - tests: Run PyFlakes and PEP8 only on SUBDIRS (Simon Feltman) - Merge static PyGLib and PyGObject modules into PyGI (Simon Feltman) (#712197) - Add test for callback user data arguments with following arguments (Martin Pitt) (#722104) About PyGObject =============== GObject is a object system used by GTK+, GStreamer and other libraries. PyGObject provides a convenient wrapper for use in Python programs when accessing GObject libraries. Like the GObject library itself PyGObject is licensed under the GNU LGPL, so is suitable for use in both free software and proprietary applications. It is already in use in many applications ranging from small single purpose scripts up to large full featured applications. PyGObject now dynamically accesses any GObject libraries that uses GObject Introspection. It replaces the need for separate modules such as PyGTK, GIO and python-gnome to build a full GNOME 3.0 application. Once new functionality is added to gobject library it is instantly available as a Python API without the need for intermediate Python glue. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-announce-list Support the Python Software Foundation: http://www.python.org/psf/donations/
