v3.2.0 - New release

Version 3.2.0

🛠️ Bug fixes:

• Issue #67 - JSONReader/Deserializing object list: TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not subscriptable

💥 Changes:

• qthelpers.qt_wait: added show_message and parent arguments (backward compatible)
• qthelpers.qt_app_context: removed faulthandler support (this need to be handled at the application level, see for example DataLab's implementation)
• Disabled command line argument parsing in guidata.env module:
  • The guidata library is parsing command line arguments for the purpose of creating the environment execution object named execenv (see guidata.env module). This object is used to determine the execution environment mainly for testing purposes: for example, to bypass the Qt event loop when running tests thanks to the --unattended command line option.
  • However this argument parsing is not always desirable, for example when using guidata as a dependency in another library or application. This is why the parsing mechanism is now disabled by default, and may be enabled by setting the environment variable GUIDATA_PARSE_ARGS to 1 (or any other non-empty value). As of today, it is still unclear if there will be a need to enable this mechanism in the future, so this is why the environment variable is used instead of a function argument.
• Removed deprecated guidata.disthelpers module (we recommend using PyInstaller instead)

v3.1.1 - Maintenance release

Version 3.1.1

🛠️ Bug fixes:

• 'Apply' button state is now correctly updated when modifying one of the following items:
  • dataset.MultipleChoiceItem
  • dataset.dataitems.DictItem
  • dataset.dataitems.FloatArrayItem
• Fixed minor deprecation and other issues related to locale

💥 Changes:

• Removed --unattended command line option for pytest:
  • Before: pytest --unattended guidata (to run tests without Qt event loop)
  • Now: pytest guidata (there is no use case for running tests with Qt event loop,
    so the --unattended option was removed and the unattended mode is now the default)
• Removed CHM documentation (obsolete format)

Version 3.1.0

⚠ Exceptionally, this release contains the following API breaking changes:

• Moved utils.update_dataset to dataset.conv.update_dataset
• Moved utils.restore_dataset to dataset.conv.restore_dataset

✔ API simplification (backward compatible):

• Dataset items may now be imported from guidata.dataset instead of guidata.dataset.dataitems
• Dataset types may now be imported from guidata.dataset instead of guidata.dataset.datatypes
• Examples:

  • from guidata.dataset.dataitems import FloatItem becomes from guidata.dataset import FloatItem

  • from guidata.dataset.datatypes import DataSet becomes from guidata.dataset import DataSet

  • Or you may now write:

    import guidata.dataset as gds
    
    class MyParameters(gds.DataSet):
        """My parameters"""
        freq = gds.FloatItem("Frequency", default=1.0, min=0.0, nonzero=True)
        amp = gds.FloatItem("Amplitude", default=1.0, min=0.0)

💥 New features:

• New dataset.create_dataset_from_dict: create a dataset from a dictionary,
  using keys and values to create the dataset items
• New dataset.create_dataset_from_func: create a dataset from a function signature,
  using type annotations and default values to create the dataset items
• dataset.dataitems.StringItem:
  • Added argument password to hide text (useful for passwords)
  • Added argument regexp to validate text using a regular expression
• dataset.dataitems.FileSaveItem, dataset.dataitems.FileOpenItem,
  dataset.dataitems.FilesOpenItem and dataset.dataitems.DirectoryItem:
  added argument regexp to validate file/dir name using a regular expression
• dataset.dataitems.DictItem: added support for HDF5 and JSON serialization
• dataset.io.h5fmt and dataset.io.jsonfmt: added support for lists and dictionnaries serialization

♻ New PlotPyStack internal features:

• widgets.about: handle about dialog box informations (Python, Qt, Qt bindings, ...)
• Renamed development environment variable GUIDATA_PYTHONEXE to PPSTACK_PYTHONEXE

🧹 Bug fixes:

• Fixed Qt6 compatibility issue with QFontDatabase

Version 3.0
