[Pythondialog-users] pythondialog 2.14.1 released

[Florent R. <f.r...@fr...>]

Hello,

pythondialog 2.14.1 has been released. A summary of the changes can be
found at:

  http://pythondialog.sourceforge.net/#news-2.14

A more detailed version, reproduced here for your convenience, can be
found in the ChangeLog:

2013-10-01  Florent Rougon

	Fixes for the programbox demo

	* demo.py (programbox_demo): the programbox demo (only run in
	--test-suite mode) uses subprocess.DEVNULL, which was added in Python
	3.3. Provide an alternate method when this feature is not available.

	* demo.py (programbox_demo): close the pipe used to communicate with
	dialog when it is not needed anymore (otherwise, running the demo with
	warnings enabled [python3 -Wd demo.py 2>/path/to/file] shows a
	ResourceWarning).

	Better reporting of dialog errors

	* dialog.py: when dialog exits with status DIALOG_ERROR, write its
	output as part of the DialogError exception that is raised. This should
	make it much easier to understand the cause of errors. This requires
	reading the dialog output before wait()ing for it to exit, which is a
	good thing in any case, as big amounts of output could cause a kind of
	deadlock, since dialog would be blocked with its output pipe full while
	we would be wait()ing for it to exit.

	Easier management of the ChangeLog file

	* Rename ChangeLog to ChangeLog.init and modify setup.py to
	automatically generate, when invoked, an up-to-date ChangeLog file with
	the oldest entries from ChangeLog.init and the newest ones from the Git
	log.

	* README.distributors: new file explaining this mechanism and how to
	prepare a package (or new release) from the Git repository.

	Decorate Dialog.form with the 'widget' decorator

	* dialog.py: in commit cfcf412d86c5d8daebcf004d4e9fe02ecbb881b3, it was
	forgotten to use the 'widget' decorator on Dialog.form. This commit
	fixes this bug.

2013-09-20  Florent Rougon

	Clarify the rules concerning the 'widget' decorator

	* dialog.py: be more precise about the interface that must be offered by
	methods decorated with the 'widget' decorator (and therefore having the
	'is_widget' attribute). Also, don't use the "widget-producing"
	expression to qualify methods that are not eligible for this decorator
	(such as Dialog.gauge_update()).

	* demo.py: similar precisions.
