Version 1.4.1

Bug fixes (since v1.4.0)

• ColorItem for recent versions of Qt: in QLineEdit widget, the text representation of color was str(!QColor(...)) instead of str(!QColor(...).name())
• guidata.qt compat package: fixed modname typo
• hdf5io:
• optional attribute mechanism generalized to both Attr and !DSet objects (for both saving and loading data)
• H5Store/close method: now checking if h5 file has already been closed before trying to close it (see http://code.google.com/p/h5py/issues/detail?id=220)
• disthelpers:
• vs2008 option was ignored
• added 'C:\Program Files (x86)' to bin includes (cx_Freeze)
• Data items/callbacks: fixed callbacks for ChoiceItem (or derived items) which were triggered when other widgets were triggering their own callbacks...

Other changes (since v1.4.0)

• Added test for item callbacks
• dataset.datatypes.FormatProp/new behavior: added ignore_error argument, default to True (ignores string formatting error: ValueError)
• disthelpers:
• Distribution.setup: added target_dir option

• cx_Freeze: added support for multiple executables
• added support for h5py 2.0
• added support for Maplotlib 1.1
• Allow DateTime edit widgets to popup calendar

Version 1.4.0

Possible API compatibility issues (since v1.3.2)

• disthelpers: removed functions remove_build_dist, add_module_data_files,

add_text_data_file, get_default_excludes, get_default_includes, get_default_dll_excludes, create_vs2008_data_files (...) which were replaced by a class named Distribution, see the new disthelpers test for more details (tests/dishelpers.py)

• reorganized utils and configtools modules

Other changes (since v1.3.2)

• disthelpers: replaced almost all functions by a class named Distribution,

and added support for cx_Freeze (module remains compatible with py2exe), see the new disthelpers test for more details (tests/dishelpers.py)

• reorganized utils and configtools modules

Version 1.3.2

Since this version, guidata is compatible with PyQt4 API #1 and API #2. Please read carefully the coding guidelines which have been recently added to the documentation.

Possible API compatibility issues (since v1.3.1)

• Removed deprecated wrappers around QFileDialog's static methods (use the wrappers provided by guidata.qt.compat instead):
• getExistingDirectory, getOpenFileName, getOpenFileNames, getSaveFileName

Bug fixes (since v1.3.1)

• qtwidgets.ShowFloatArrayWidget: fixed string float formatting issue (replaced %f by %g)
• Fixed compatiblity issues with PyQt v4.4 (Contributor: Carlos Pascual)
• Fixed missing 'child_title' attribute error with FileOpenItem, FilesOpenItem, FileSaveItem and DirectoryItem
• (Fixes  Issue 8 ) disthelpers.add_modules was failing when vs2008=False

Other changes (since v1.3.1)

• added this changelog
• qtwidgets: removed ProgressPopUp dialog (it is now recommended to use QProgressDialog instead, which is pretty much identical)
• Replaced QScintilla by spyderlib (as a dependency for array editor, code editor (test launcher) and dict editor)
• qtwidgets.DockWidgetMixin: added method 'setup_dockwidget' to change dockwidget's features, location and allowed areas after class instantiation
• guidata.utils.utf8_to_unicode: translated error message in english
• Add support for 'int' in hdf5 save function
• guidata.dataset/Numeric items (FloatItem, IntItem): added option 'unit' (automatically add suffix ' (unit)' to label in edit mode and suffix ' unit' to value in read-only mode)
• Improved dataset str method: code refactoring with read-only dataset widgets (DataItem: added methods 'format_string' and 'get_string_value', DataSet: added method 'to_string')
• Added coding guidelines to the documentation
• guidata.dataset.qtwidget: added specific widget (ShowBooleanWidget) for read-only display of bool items (text is striked out when value is False)
• guidata.hdf5io.Dset: added missing keyword argument 'optional' (same effect as parent class Attr)
• guidata.dataset.dataitems.IntItem objects: added support for sliders (fixes  Issue 9 ) with option slider=True (see documentation)

Version 1.3.1
