Python for S60 1.9.7 RELEASE NOTES, 03.08.2009
===============================================
Product Description
===================
Python for S60 (hereafter PyS60) is intended for developers looking to create
programs that use the native features and resources of the S60 phones, using the
Python programming language.
About this release
==================
This is the new 1.9.7 development release of PyS60. This release is intended
only for S60 3rd edition, S60 3rd edition FP1, S60 3rd edition FP2 and
S60 5th edition devices.
Note on versioning: The versioning scheme in PyS60 releases is such that the
releases with an even minor version (1.0.x, 1.2.x ...) are "stable" and releases
with an odd minor version (1.1.x, 1.3.x ...) are "development" releases. This is
thus a development release, meaning that it includes functionality that has not
been tested as extensively as the stable releases. This release is provided as a
preview to developers who wish to experiment with Python on S60 before the next
final stable release.
What is new when compared with PyS60 1.9.6?
-------------------------------------------
- Touch support added for GLCanvas UI Control. Directional pad is displayed
by default on touch enabled devices. A sample application - gles_touch_demo.py
is added to ScriptShell which demonstrates the functionality.
- Two new APIs are added to canvas - begin_redraw and end_redraw. These can be
used to instruct the window server to enable redraw drawing on the canvas UI
control. Please refer the documentation (Section 3.1.10) for more details.
- The multi-selection listbox has been modified such that the dialog
for the option 'checkmark' now has 'Options' and 'Back' as its left and right
softkeys respectively. The 'Options' has Mark/Unmark entry that can be used
to select and de-select respectively. The 'Back' softkey returns the
current state of the listbox based on the selected items.
- 4-way directional pad support in landscape mode
- Different flavors of Scriptshell application can coexist on the device.
- Scribble application improvements:
- Performance improvement by using API's begin_redraw and end_redraw.
- The drawing area is retained between landscape and portrait
modes as the toolbar shifts to accommodate for this change.
- Pen width can be selected from a list of predefined values.
- PyS60 document is available online on maemo.garage
http://pys60.garage.maemo.org/doc/
Corrected defects:
------------------
4251 - The compression type for the dll and exe files for Python is shown
as Deflate instead of Byte-pair.
4313 - Scrollbar visible afterwards, should not be there
4338 - Multiple lisbox objects decrease scroll performance
4349 - time.mktime() taking too much time to execute
