[Pyobjc-dev] py2app release delayed

[Ronald O. <ron...@ma...>]

Hi,

I had hoped to release a new version of py2app today, but didn’t due to problems with macholib that resulted in broken application bundles. The good news is that I found the cause of that breakage and reverted the patch that caused it.

I did fix a number of bugs on the tracker last week (the number of open issues decreased from 94 to 72), and implemented a useful new feature: support for “@loader_path” in shared libraries, which is used in wheels processed with delocate <https://github.com/matthew-brett/delocate/blob/master/delocate/delocating.py <https://github.com/matthew-brett/delocate/blob/master/delocate/delocating.py>> such as the wheels for Pillow.

Because this is turning into a fairly large release I’d appreciate if people could test the code in the repository with their applications. To install first install altgraph-0.13, then install modulegraph, macholib and py2app from their bitbucket repositories (https://bitbucket.org/ronaldoussoren/modulegraph <https://bitbucket.org/ronaldoussoren/modulegraph>, https://bitbucket.org/ronaldoussoren/macholib <https://bitbucket.org/ronaldoussoren/macholib> and https://bitbucket.org/ronaldoussoren/py2app <https://bitbucket.org/ronaldoussoren/py2app>).

There’s still a fairly large number of open issues for py2app, but those will have to wait for a later time (which hopefully be a lot sooner than the time it took me to get from the previous release to this point).
