Project News for XElements

  • XElements 1.0 RC1 released

    Finally, after one year and aborted 0.3 release (due to complete ro-organization of modules, and documentation), I'm pleased to announce the release of the 1.0 RC1. Except big issues, it should be the final API for XElements.
    Since the release of WTL by Microsoft, and now that everybody's going into WPF and Flex, widgets and so on, the library is a bit outdated but still very useful for developing quick interfaces - I personaly intensively use it to produce GUI wrappers around production tools at work - and it's great for this purpose; good win32-native looking apps with the power of Python scripting!

  • 0.2 release

    Not much different from 0.1, but major bug fixes and missing/non working features:

    - python 2.5 support (and still compatible with 2.4)
    - better python installer
    - added send and post message helpers
    - fixed the WS_TABSTOP issue
    - added getCheck and setCheck methods on XButton
    - added quit to XApp
    - changed yield to uiflush (Python keyword issue)

    enjoy!

  • 0.1 released

    Finally had the time to release the 0.1 version : very close to 0.0.1b in functionnality, but with cleaner and more usable source package.
    Tested install with Python 2.4, don't know if it works with Python 2.5...

  • Long time, no see.

    I've just commited some new stuff into xelements source tree. Good news is that building the c++ project doesn't need python anymore. I recently used the pure c++ module to make win32 apps and it pissed me off to install python for nothing !
    Added also interesting features (gdImagePtr direct handling through XImage, for those who use gd in their apps, and xelements child tree removal).

    Soon I'll release a package and try to make this stuff work on Vista...

    XElements is not dead !

    See ya.

  • And finally, the 0.01release

    It has been so many years and months since I started this project, even before creating the SourceForge slot ! Even if the library was up and running (as a C++ dll), I did not want to release anything without Python working and a decent documentation.
    There are, in the open source community, so many great libs available but unusable because of too symbolic piece of documents (such as soooo paleolithic man pages).
    As a developer, all I want from a library is to fill my needs, to work and to have a nice and comprehensive documentation.
    XElements 0.01 may be this kind of lib for somebody, I hope.
    Feedback is very much appreciated.
