Release update

Hi all,

Normally I would only send this kind of message to the wxPython-dev list, but because of the urgency of the schedule I felt I should send it here as well in case some contributors are not actively watching the wxPython-dev list.

The wxWidgets team is going to be releasing 2.7.1 tomorrow, with a 2.7.2
release to come in another week or two, followed by 2.8.0 by the
beginning of November. This aggressive schedule is being done in order
to get 2.8 into the release of OS X 10.5 instead of a wx 2.6.x build.

I plan on doing another preview build probably tomorrow, followed by a
release of wxPython 2.7.1.0 on Friday or Saturday. So if anyone has any
additional contribs, or updates to existing contribs, that you want to
get in for the release, *now* is the time to get me the patches.

Hi Robin,

I plan on doing another preview build probably tomorrow, followed by a
release of wxPython 2.7.1.0 on Friday or Saturday. So if anyone has any
additional contribs, or updates to existing contribs, that you want to
get in for the release, *now* is the time to get me the patches.

FlatNotebook has been improved *a lot* since you did the latest
wxPython pre-release. I can make a patch without big problems (I hope
:-D), but the patch itself (for the demo and the source) will be
bigger than the actual code itself. Would you still prefer a patch
instead of the code?
Also, the same applies for ButtonPanel. I am still reluctant to send
an incomplete code (at the moment I am working on vertical
toolbars-like ButtonPanel), and I feel this widget still requires some
work. Would you mind if for the moment I don't send the patch for this
widget? Few days and I'll be finished also with it.

Thank you.

Andrea.

Yes. That way if I've made changes between the time that you started working on the code and the time I apply the patch, then using a patch will help to ensure that those changes are not lost.

Also, the same applies for ButtonPanel. I am still reluctant to send
an incomplete code (at the moment I am working on vertical

The sooner the better, but not before it's ready. :slight_smile:

BTW, you may want to look at the CVS tree for another reason, as I've also added CustomTreeCtrl.

I have two questions:
1) Were you planning on building a version of wxPython 2.7 for Python
2.3?
2) Were you planning on building ansi versions of wxPython on platforms
where there is a difference (like Windows).

I know I should upgrade to Python 2.5, but I have some old code using
Python 2.3 that I need to support, and not getting used to 2.4 and 2.5
features keeps me from trying to use them in 2.3 .

No, I usually just do builds for the current Python and current-1.

Yes.

As numpy finally reached the 1.0 version I'd propose to update wx.lib.plot
accordingly and maybe drop the dependency on NumArray and Numeric if that has
not been done yet in the 2.7 branch. Furthermore I could prepare a patch which
adds logarithmic scaling to wx.lib.plot. I've sent it to the list some month ago
but there were some discussions concerning its speed which however was due to
using NumArray.
So at least I could do the numpy patch.

ps: where's the 2.7 branch cvs location?

I've recently made FloatCanvas numpy-only. I hope to get a patch to you soon, Robin.

A few weeks ago I changed the import to do "import numpy.oldnumeric as _Numeric" so it should still work with any of the modules IIUC. OTOH, once numpy 1.0 has had a chance to proliferate everywhere I wouldn't mind a patch converting it to use only numpy.

It is the trunk or HEAD branch. We put the stable releases on a branch, so the 2.6.x sources are on the branch named WX_2_6_BRANCH.

Is that after trying to import Numeric and numarray? If not, then it will fail for all but numpy anyway.

Hi Robin,

Do you plan update the Ubuntu repositories? I found only 2.6.3.3 in this
system.

Thanks!

That seems to be the newest on the website too. Is 2.7 an official release yet, or maybe 2.6.3.3 is still the latest.

2.7 is only preview at this time.

I will when there is a an official 2.7.x release. If you would like to try Ubuntu packages of the preview releases they are available with the other preview binaries. You'll need to download them and install with dpkg since they are not in APT repository format.

Apparently starship's security has been compromised, and so they've locked it down until they figure out how to recover.
