Guidata

Bug fixes:

* Fixed Issue 25: ConfigParser.get unexpected keyword argument 'raw'
* Fixed tests failures: disthelpers, guiqwt/tests/loadsaveitems_hdf5.py

Features:

* userconfigio: added support for serializing/deserializing NumPy scalars
* Fixed Issue 47: added support for DateTimeItem/DateItem (de)serialization

Setup:

* Using setuptools "entry_points" instead of distutils "scripts"

Possible API compatibility issues:

* Added support for PyQt5 (removed old-style signals)

Possible API compatibility issues:

* disthelpers:
* Changed arguments from "architecture=None, python_version=None" to "msvc_version, architecture=None"

Added support for Python 3 (see module `guidata.py3compat`).

New features:

* disthelpers:
* Added support for Python 3.3
* Added support for pygments (and partial support for zmq: still failing)
* FloatArrayItem: added support for `unit` property value

Bug fixes:

* disthelpers.prepend_module_to_path: unload modules which were already imported to be able to replace them by other versions (mostly `guidata` should be concerned by this if the function is used -as it should be- in package's __init__.py script)

New features:

* HDF5 serialization (HDF5 reader/writer):
* Added context manager
* Added convenience methods `read` and `write`
* Added convenience methods `write_object_list` and `read_object_list` to save/restore objects implementing DataSet-like `serialize` and `deserialize` methods
* Datasets I/O (HDF5/ini): None values (unset items) can now be saved/loaded for FloatItem, IntItem and BoolItem objects
* disthelpers: added option 'exclude_dirs' to 'add_module_data_files' and 'add_module_data_dir' methods
* Added slider support for FloatItem objects (contributor: julien.jaeck)
* (Issue 21) Added option 'size' in dataset `edit` and `view` methods to resize the generated dialog box (size may be a tuple of integers (width, height) or a QSize object)

Possible API compatibility issues:

* guidata now requires Python 2.6 (Python 2.5 support has been dropped)

Bug fixes:

* DataSet objects (de)serialization: fixed HDF5 reader/writer for FilesOpenItem and FloatArrayItem serialize/deserialize methods
* Fixed DataSet userconfig read/write test
* StringItem/ColorItem: fixed unicode/str issues in deserialization methods
* Added support for strings encoded in file system charset to avoid an error like "String %r is not UTF-8 encoded" when trying to set an item to a string value (path) obtained with a file system command
* configtools/image paths: handling file system encoded paths
* (Issue 14) Restored compatiblity with PyQt v4.4

Bug fixes:

* Fixed 'callback' property related issue: when updating a DataSetShowGroupBox or
DataSetEditGroupBox internal dataset, the callback property was causing a reset
of the data items to their default values

Possible API compatibility issues:

* datatypes.OperatorProperty was renamed to FuncProp

Other changes:

* Added test for the FuncProp item property: how to change an item active state depending on another item's value
* Added support for dictionaries for `update_dataset` and `restore_dataset` (functions of `guidata.utils`):
* `update_dataset` may update the destination dataset from a source dictionary
* `restore_dataset` may update the destination dictionary from a source dataset
* FloatArrayItem: added option "large" to show all the array values in read-only mode
* Added new guidata svg logo
* disthelpers:
* added support for PySide
* disthelpers: new function 'get_visual_studio_dlls' -- returns the list of Visual
Studio DLLs (and create manifest) associated to Python architecture and version
