r2275 | ================================================ | ||
| Development version | ||||
| ================================================ | ||||
| Main `ipython` branch | ||||
| ===================== | ||||
| New features | ||||
| ------------ | ||||
| * Added a new module :mod:`IPython.lib.inputhook` to manage the integration | ||||
| with GUI event loops using `PyOS_InputHook`. See the docstrings in this | ||||
| module or the main IPython docs for details. | ||||
| * For users, GUI event loop integration is now handled through the new | ||||
| :command:`%gui` magic command. Type ``%gui?`` at an IPython prompt for | ||||
| documentation. | ||||
| * For developers :mod:`IPython.lib.inputhook` provides a simple interface | ||||
| for managing the event loops in their interactive GUI applications. | ||||
| Examples can be found in our :file:`docs/examples/lib` directory. | ||||
| Bug fixes | ||||
| --------- | ||||
| * Keyboard interrupts now work with GUI support enabled across all platforms | ||||
| and all GUI toolkits reliably. | ||||
| Backwards incompatible changes | ||||
| ------------------------------ | ||||
| * Support for ``qt3`` has been dropped. User's who need this should use | ||||
| previous versions of IPython. | ||||
| * Removed :mod:`shellglobals` as it was obsolete. | ||||
| * Removed all the threaded shells in :mod:`IPython.core.shell`. These are no | ||||
| longer needed because of the new capabilities in | ||||
| :mod:`IPython.lib.inputhook`. | ||||
| * The old threading command line flags (pylab/wthread/etc.) have been | ||||
| deprecated. Use :mod:`IPython.inputhook` or the new :command:`%gui` magic | ||||
| command instead. | ||||
| * New top-level sub-packages have been created: :mod:`IPython.core`, | ||||
| :mod:`IPython.lib`, :mod:`IPython.utils`, :mod:`IPython.deathrow`, | ||||
| :mod:`IPython.quarantine`. All existing top-level modules have been | ||||
| moved to appropriate sub-packages. All internal import statements | ||||
| have been updated and tests have been added. The build system (setup.py | ||||
| and friends) have been updated. | ||||
| * Compatability modules have been created for :mod:`IPython.Shell`, | ||||
| :mod:`IPython.ipapi` and :mod:`IPython.iplib` that display warnings | ||||
| and then load the actual implementation from :mod:`IPython.core`. | ||||
| * :mod:`Extensions` has been moved to :mod:`extensions`. | ||||
