[Tauruslib-users] New release of Taurus 4.5.1 (Jan19)

[Carlos P. <cpa...@ce...>]

Hi all, 

We are happy to announce the release of Taurus 4.5.1.

This release adds the long-awaited support for PyQt5 (and also PySide2 and 
PySide) as well as  for python3. 

While strictly speaking we still recommend python2 + PyQt4 for production 
environments, we encourage everyone to use PyQt5 since it is fairly tested 
(see the TEP18 docs for details). Likewise, we encourage to try Taurus with  
python3: there may still be glitches, but python3+PyQt5 is the preferred 
combination in our development environment, so any bugs will likely receive 
priority.

The source files, and windows installers can be downloaded from:

https://github.com/taurus-org/taurus/releases/tag/4.5.1

For debian binary packages, see:

https://github.com/taurus-org/taurus/releases/tag/4.5.0

The documentation is available at:

http://www.taurus-scada.org

For a detailed list of changes, see the CHANGELOG:

https://github.com/taurus-org/taurus/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md

...and the issue tracker:

https://github.com/taurus-org/taurus/milestone/12?closed=1

If you encounter problems installing or running this release, please
open an issue in :

https://github.com/taurus-org/taurus/issues

Cheers!

Carlos (on behalf of the Taurus developers)


PS:  note that since PyQwt5 only works with python2 and PyQt4, the plotting 
support for when using other combinations is now provided by the 
taurus_pyqtgraph plugin that needs to be installed independently. See:
