Announcing Urwid 0.9.1 ---------------------- Urwid home page: http://excess.org/urwid/
Tarball: http://excess.org/urwid/urwid-0.9.1.tar.gz About this release: =================== This release includes high resolution UTF-8 support for the BarGraph and ProgressBar widgets, improved support for threading with raw_display and a couple bug fixes. New in this release: ==================== - BarGraph and ProgressBar can now display data more accurately by using the UTF-8 vertical and horizontal eighth characters. This behavior will be enabled when the UTF-8 encoding is detected and "smoothed" attributes are passed to the BarGraph or ProgressBar constructors. - New get_encoding_mode() function to determine how Urwid will treat raw string data. - New raw_display.signal_init() and raw_display.signal_restore() methods that may be overridden by threaded applications that need to call signal.signal(..) from their main thread. - Fixed a bug that prevented the use of UTF-8 strings in text markup. - Removed some forgotten asserts that broke 8-bit and CJK input. About Urwid =========== Urwid is a console UI library for Python. It features fluid interface resizing, UTF-8 support, multiple text layouts, simple attribute markup, powerful scrolling list boxes and flexible interface design. Urwid is released under the GNU LGPL. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-announce-list Support the Python Software Foundation: http://www.python.org/psf/donations.html
