A Windows-only build of this release is now available on the sourceforge download area. The autotools-based builder will be up on Sourceforge soon for Linux/UNIX/OSX, hopefully later this afternoon or evening. At the time of this writing, the Gtk+ source files are still being uploaded. They form the contents of gtkdev.tar.bz2, and are only there to satisfy the requirements of the LGPL. This archive also includes precompiled binaries, debugging symbols, and utility programs for Gtk+, that make it easier to start hacking on VPython from within Windows. There are still a few problems with the code that I am aware of. At this point the project is in "release early, release often" mode. Please report any problems to the mailing list. The APIs for texturing, transparency, and lighting are still in flux, so please contribute your comments to those as well. RELEASE NOTES: The "Its not vaporware, I swear!" release Note: You do not need to download "gtkdev.tar.bz2" if you don't want to; it is there to satisfy the requirements of the GNU LGPL. This release contains many new features, including: - A toolbar with some simple functions (the recenter button doesn't do anything yet). - New mouse interaction mode "pan", selectable by the user through the toolbar - Most objects support an "alpha" color property, that controls transparency. This also makes foo.color a 4-tuple (RGBA) - Most objects support a "shininess" property, that controls specular highlighting (value between 0 and 1, exactly 0 or 1 disable it) - Most objects can have their lighting explicitly turned off (foo.lit = False) - Simple texturing support (see examples/textest.py) - Advanced lighting support, including spotlights, attenuation, and local (non-infinity) sources (no demo as yet, see help(light)) - Supports integration with other GUI toolkits, such as PyGTK, WxPython, PyObjC, etc (no demo yet) |

In addition to the other new features, feel free to play with frame.scale. -Jonathan |

Enjoy! Someone privately asked where the links to the files are. The releases for this series will be posted to the Sourceforge "files" area for the visualpython project, here: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=6013 Chances are pretty good that if you have a question, someone else will too. Please direct all correspondence about VPython to the mailing list. Thanks, -Jonathan |

OK - I'm seeing this problem on a few people's machines. I'm not quite sure what is causing it, because it isn't a problem on my development machine. If you see this error and have the time to do so, please do the following: Download depends.exe from http://www.dependencywalker.com/ Open site-packages/visual/cvisual.dll from within the program. It should pop up some kind of error that a bunch of libraries cannot be found. Click OK and continue. Select Options->Configure Module Search Order At the bottom of the dialog, type C:\Python24\Lib\site-packages\gtkrun \bin, and click "Add Directory" When asked to refresh the current session, click Yes Let me know all of the errors that remain. If you _don't_ see this error, please let me know which version of Windows you are running, which OpenGL drivers you have installed, and which video card you have installed. Thanks, -Jonathan |

Are there any other warnings or errors in the next-to-last pane? Thanks, -Jonathan |

My error message is : ImportError: DLL load failed: A device attached to the
system is not functioning.
I am running windows Me
Please can you advise on how to find out which Open GL drivers and video
cards are installed: my usual sources of information cannot help me on these.
Regards
Peter
