Guidata

Fixed project description:

* This could be seen as a detail, but as this description text is used by PyPI,
it is important to have a correct description.

* Of course, nobody reads the description text, so it was not noticed since the
first release of guidata v3.0.

Bug fixes:

* [Pull Request 61](https://github.com/PlotPyStack/guidata/pull/61) - Make the build reproducible, by [lamby](https://github.com/lamby)

* [Issue 59](https://github.com/PlotPyStack/guidata/issues/59) - [3.0.1] the doc is missing

* [Issue 60](https://github.com/PlotPyStack/guidata/issues/60) - [3.0.1] pyproject.toml/setuptools: automatic package discovery does not work on debian

API changes (fixes inconsistencies in API):

* Moved `guidata.dataset.iniio.WriterMixin` to `guidata.dataset.io.WriterMixin`
* Moved `guidata.dataset.iniio.BaseIOHandler` to `guidata.dataset.io.BaseIOHandler`
* Moved `guidata.dataset.iniio` to `guidata.dataset.io.inifmt` and renamed:
* `UserConfigIOHandler` to `INIHandler`
* `UserConfigWriter` to `INIWriter`
* `UserConfigReader` to `INIReader`
* Moved `guidata.dataset.jsonio` to `guidata.dataset.io.jsonfmt`
* Moved `guidata.dataset.hdf5io` to `guidata.dataset.io.h5fmt`

Bug fixes:

* [Issue 57](https://github.com/PlotPyStack/guidata/issues/57) - [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'doc/dev/v2_to_v3.csv'

* [Issue 58](https://github.com/PlotPyStack/guidata/issues/58) - Test suite: missing dependencies (pandas, Pillow)

* Modules `guidata.dataset.datatypes` and `guidata.dataset.dataitems` should not
critically depend on Qt (only modules specific to GUI should depend on Qt, such
as `guidata.dataset.qtwidgets`). This was a regression introduced in version 3.0.0.
A new unit test was added to prevent this kind of regression in the future.

* Fixed documentation generation `.readthedocs.yaml` file (Qt 5.15 was not
installed on ReadTheDocs servers, causing documentation build to fail)

Other changes:

* [Pull Request 55](https://github.com/PlotPyStack/guidata/pull/55) - DateItem and DateTimeItem: added 'format' parameter for formatting, by [robochat](https://github.com/robochat)

* Packaging: still using `setuptools`, switched from `setup.cfg` to `pyproject.toml`
for configuration (see [PEP 517](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0517/))

New major release:

* New BSD 3-Clause License
* Black code formatting on all Python files
* New automated test suite:
* Added module `guidata.env` to handle execution environment
* Added support for an "unattended" execution mode (Qt loop is bypassed)
* Added support for pytest fixtures
* Added support for coverage testing: 70% coverage to date
* Documentation was entirely rewritten using Sphinx
* Reorganized modules:
* Moved `guidata.hd5io` to `guidata.dataset.hdf5io`
* Moved `guidata.jsonio` to `guidata.dataset.jsonio`
* Renamed `guidata.userconfigio` to `guidata.dataset.iniio`
* New package `guidata.utils` for utility functions:
* Removed deprecated or unused functions in old `guidata.utils` module
* Moved old `guidata.utils` module to `guidata.utils.misc`, except the
functions `update_dataset` and `restore_dataset` which are still in
`guidata.utils` (root module)
* Moved `guidata.encoding` to `guidata.utils.encoding`
* Moved `guidata.gettext_helpers` to `guidata.utils.gettext_helpers`
* Splitted `guidata.qtwidgets` in two modules:
* `guidata.widgets.dockable` for dockable widgets
* `guidata.widgets.rotatedlabel` for rotated label
* Other changes:
* `guidata.guitest`:
* Added support for subpackages
* New comment directive (` guitest: show`) to add test module to test suite or
to show test module in test launcher (this replaces the old `SHOW = True` line)
* `guidata.dataset.datatypes.DataSet`: new `create` class method for concise
dataset creation, allowing to create a dataset with a single line of code by
passing default item values as keyword arguments

Older releases

Bug fixes:

* Fixed critical compatibility issue with Python 3.11 (`codeset` argument was removed
from `gettext.translation` function)
* Fixed support for `DateTimeItem` and `DateItem` objects serializing (HDF5 and JSON)
* Fixed JSONReader constructor documentation: more explicit docstring
* Fixed test_dataframeeditor.py test script (issue with QApplication creation)

Changes:

* Added JSON serialize/deserialize support for `DataSet` objects (from CodraFT project,
<https://codra-ingenierie-informatique.github.io/CodraFT/>)
* Array editor: switching to read-only mode when array is not writeable
* Object editor (`oedit` function): cleaner implementation, handling widget
parenting (code specifically related to Spyder internal shell was removed)

Bug fixes:

* Array editor: fixed error when NumPy array flag "writeable" is False,
do not try to change flag value since it's a deprecated feature since NumPy v1.17
* Do not install Qt translator and set color mode (dark/light) on Qt application if
it already has been initialized (QApplication instance is not None)
