PyGTKShell 1.90.1 released.

Remember that 1.90.x are development releases — the API will change, so do not (yet) depend on it for large-scale developments.

New in this release:

  • A possible bug in gtk.window_list_toplevels() was worked around.

  • The website got cleaned up.

  • A TODO file was added.

PyGTKShell 1.90.0 released. Source (tar.gz)

The release series 1.90.x is a major update! This series shares no (major) code with the previous 0.9.x release series.

Remember that 1.90.x are development releases — the API will change, so do not (yet) depend on it for large-scale developments.

There is now a public Git repository, and the documentation (and website) now uses AsciiDoc.

The development focus for 1.90.0 was a clean rewrite of the provided widget classes. It has some features that 0.9.1 does not have, but at the same time also lacks some of the features that 0.9.1 had. The major drawback is that no sophisticated console got included in this release (but a raw console is available). If you want a better console to work with, stay with the 0.9.1 release for now.

The new code is much easier to read and more thoroughly documented. I personally already prefer developing programs using the new PyGTKShell.API module a lot over using the "plain" gtk module, even at this quite early stage. The PyGTK Shell is by no means complete, but everything it does contain is already completely usable.
