Diff for "CurrentVersion"

The current version of Boa Constructor is...

Release 0.2.0-alpha (Released on January 13, 2003)

• This version runs with Python 2.1 or 2.2, wxPython 2.3.2 through 2.4.0. Release Notes:

  • Added Zope ExternalMethod for runtime hooking of the debugger. No longer need to run z2.py from the IDE, see the Debugger page in the docs.

  • Changes to accommodate MacOS X, many, many problems remain, but Boa can now at least start up on MacOS X! Thanks to Kevin Altis.
  • Added plug-in for using XRC files.
  • Many minor bug fixes

CVS - 0.1.5

• This version runs with Python 2.1, 2.2, wxPython 2.3.2, 2.3.3, and 2.3.4. Release Notes:
  • Generated source can now be wrapped over multiple lines. Lines are only broken up after commas, inside brackets, but this works well enough.

    3 new Preferences added to the General->Code generation section. This feature is now on by default.

  • I've abandoned the strategy of renaming plug-ins to disable them. This was too unfriendly for things like CVS. Also plug-ins can now be ordered. Both these changes are implemented with a new file called

    init.plug-in.py in your Plug-ins directory which defines the list of disabled and ordered plugin names. Ordered plug-ins are executed first (in order!) Everything can be managed thru the GUI under

    Preferences->Plug-ins->Plug-in files.

  • Improved Find/Replace dialog. Now supports 'Find in files' and seaching in the Explorer. Thanks to Roman Yakovenko for the patches!
  • Refactored Controller menu/toolbar definitions to use the same format that View menu/toolbar definitions uses. One visible result of this is that menu items can now display images.
  • Improved tab support. The frame designer can now properly generate tab indented code. People who care about this, please test as I don't use this.

  • Added ImageEditor.plug-in.py. This is an image editor I hacked up ages ago. (I needed masked PNG support!) I just wrapped up the editor as a Boa View.

    It's rough but it works (Hint: When editing images with masks, set the mask again before

    • saving, otherwise the previous mask is used)
  • Shortcut keys now work better on Linux (Ctrl-S works!!!).
  • Composite controls like wxGrid now work properly in the Designer on Linux.

    Unfortunately many other controls still misbehave on Linux

  • Added wxSpinCtrl

  • Zope: Added SiteErrorLog support. Just delete your zoa folder in your Zope root and the new zoa will be automatically installed.

  • Removed the bundled PyChecker from the repository. Boa now tries to use the one installed on your system.

Release 0.1.0-alpha

• This version works best with Python 2.1 and wxPython 2.3.2
