[ANNOUNCE] PyGI 0.6.0
Hi all, this new release brings several new features and bug fixes and we feel application authors will have an easier time porting their software to use introspection. To mark this usability milestone we have started the 0.6.x series. Apart from further feature and stability work, you can expect compatibility with Python 3.x in a future 0.6.x release. http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/pygi/0.6/pygi-0.6.0.tar.gz This release adds a dependency on gobject-introspection 0.6.14 or newer. == Changes == * Added overrides for better compatibility with the old API: GtkUIManager and GtkActionGroup * Improved callback support * Support for G*Array arguments * Support for caller-allocates == Join the effort! == Any feedback is welcome and the PyGI community will be happy to assist any porting efforts in the mailing lists mentioned below, in the #pygi IRC channel in Freenode and in GNOME's bugzilla: Internals development mailing list: http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/python-hackers-list Application development mailing list: http://www.daa.com.au/mailman/listinfo/pygtk Known issues: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/buglist.cgi?product=pygi&bug_status=UNCONFIRMED&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&version=unspecified Enter a new report: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=pygi Main wiki page: http://live.gnome.org/PyGI Regards, Tomeu -- John (J5) Palmieri (10) * support for caller-allocates annotations for structs * don't import gobject directly in the tests * fix up Builder override, add new override methods, and add unit tests * check refcounting of callback userdata in unit tests * correctly handle floating objects in gtk * Return an empty list when a NULL GList and GSList is returned * fix NULL array unit tests and fix crasher when sending None as an array * don't error out on methods with callbacks as return type * reset sys.argv to the return value of Gtk.init_check * add GtkUIManager and GtkActionGroup overrides Steve Frécinaux (1) * Fix warning in configure. Tomeu Vizoso (12) * Pre-release version bump 0.6.0 * Wrap C arrays in structs as GArrays before converting to Python * Install pre-commit hook that checks the code changes for style conformance * Apply consistent whitespace formatting with: * Prepend gi.repository to the __module__ attribute of wrapper classes. * Correctly identify at creation time: * Dont complain if another base has implemented the method * Improve handling of subclasses without __gtype_name__ * Add support for out args in callbacks * Add support for GArray args * GTypeInterface cannot be unrefed * If None is passed to an interface which takes an object, convert it to NULL ___ gnome-announce-list mailing list gnome-announce-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-announce-list
ANNOUNCE: At-spi2 0.3.3 release
AT-SPI2 0.3.3 is now available for download at: http://download.gnome.org/sources/pyatspi/0.3/ http://download.gnome.org/sources/at-spi2-core/0.3/ http://download.gnome.org/sources/at-spi2-atk/0.3/ Notes = A list of work required before the full release can be found at: http://live.gnome.org/Accessibility/BonoboDeprecation What's changed in AT-SPI2 0.3.3 === pyatspi: * Hyperlink fixes. * When an object's parent is set to null, remove it from the parent in the cache. * Fix an issue where a state-changed handler can be called before the cache received the signal and updated the state. * Only range check for __getitem__, not getChildAtIndex. This is pyatspi-corba's behavior and should improve performance in some cases. * Fix tracebacks when checking some event properties. * Fix a traceback when simulating a defunct state for an object that has gone away. * Fix traceback when calling queryDocument.getAttributes(), queryText().getCharacterExtents(), and queryValue().setCurrentValue(). * Fix handling of some ChildrenChanged signals sent by Firefox. core: * Add return values to some functions that were missing them. * Make DeviceEventListener notifiers reentrant so that an application can query the desktop object while processing a device event. * Fix for FDO#28300: fails to link with pedantic linkers. * Fix crash if GetChildAtIndex is called with an invalid index. Atk: * Remove unused gtk build dependency. * Install a copy of the module into the gtk-3.0 modules directory. * Correct handling of some children-changed events sent by Firefox. * Lease objects that send events if they are not cached; fixes some tracebacks when handling Firefox events. What is AT-SPI2 === AT-SPI2 is a D-Bus based accessibility framework. It defines a D-Bus protocol for providing and accessing application accessibility information. The project includes a library for bridging the D-Bus protocol to the ATK API, allowing Gtk based applications to be made accessible. It also contains a client (AT) side library in Python. Where can I get more information about AT-SPI2 == The project wiki is available at: http://www.linuxfoundation.org/en/Accessibility/ATK/AT-SPI/AT-SPI_on_D-Bus A page detailing the project plan can be found at: http://live.gnome.org/Accessibility/BonoboDeprecation How can I contribute to AT-SPI2? We are actively seeking contributors to help us make this the standard a11y framework for Gnome. We need help testing with Gnome accessibility technologies, improving performance, and generally tying up loose ends. The above-referenced page contains a list of known issues that should be fixed.
