PyWBEM / News: Recent posts

The PyWBEM project, with the exception of its pywbem-devel mailing list, has been moved from SourceForge to GitHub. The SVN code repository, bug tracker and wiki here on SourceForge are now closed.

The new project page at GitHub is: http://pywbem.github.io

The above mentioned development snapshot has been released and is available as the default download archive.

We are down to 1 open bug now, which is about PyLint errors that are likely not real problems.

A final 0.8.0 release should be possible rather soon, but this before that, this preliminary version should get a broader test in the community.

Please download this preliminary version and give it serious stress, including failure situations such as connection issues, failing servers, etc.

We are down to 2 open bugs now, and a final 0.8.0 release should be possible rather soon.

This is a good time to download this development snapshot and to try it out. It has been tested on Linux and on Windows, with its standalone unit tests and also with real CIM servers.

As of today, the PyWBEM Project Web site has been re-established, and reworked a bit.
For example, the API Reference Documentation is now available.

To visit the project web site, follow the "PyWBEM Web Site" link on the summary page, or go directly to http://pywbem.sourceforge.net/.

Feedback about the project web site is welcome and should go to the pywbem-devel mailing list.

A development snapshot of PyWBEM, of the upcoming new version 0.8.0, is now available for download. This version includes many bug fixes and improvements since the last released version 0.7 from 2008. For a list of changes, see the NEWS file in the download archive.

Attention: This is a development snapshot and not a final release. As such, it may not have seen the test of a final release. It passes the unit test cases, however.... read more

After a long period of gestation PyWBEM 0.5 has been released. This version sports a cleaner, simpler object interface, more CIM operations have been implemented, and many bugs have been fixed.

Unfortunately some backwards incompatibile changes have been made to function arguments and return values so scripts written to use previous versions of PyWBEM will need to be tested against the latest version.... read more

For WBEM developers and users interested in the Ruby language a Ruby CIM client has been registered with RubyForge. RubyWBEM is available for download at http://rubyforge.org/projects/rubywbem/

PyWBEM has migrated from using CVS to Subversion for revision control. Thanks goes to the SourceForge guys for all their work in getting svn working as an alternative to CVS. For information about checking out a svn repository, go to the PyWBEM subversion page at http://sourceforge.net/svn/?group_id=133883

A mailing list has been created for PyWBEM development and usage questions. Subscribe to the list at https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/pywbem-devel. If there is sufficient demand, a user-specific list will be created.

PyWBEM was the subject of a presentation at the Management Developers' Conference 2005. The presentation and code examples are now available for download at http://pywbem.sourceforge.net/examples/MDC2005

The source for PyWBEM has been checked in to CVS on SourceForge. Although the code has been available for perusal in the file releases, it is now more accessible for external development via SourceForge's anonymous CVS service and CVS web interface.

Finally, PyWBEM 0.4 has been released. This release fixes a
couple of bugs found by testers (thanks everyone) as well as a more usable implementation of the associator provider client functions.

PyWBEM 0.3 has been released! This is the first public release of PyWBEM. The main difference between the previous (private) releases is that PyWBEM now supports extrinsic CIM method calls. Many small bugfixes have also been made.

PyWBEM, a Python library for the Web Based Enterprise Management protocol, is now available to the general public as a project on sourceforge.net. Thanks to HP for sponsoring the development of PyWBEM and allowing it's release under an open source license, the GNU GPL.
