Python v1.9.7

Python v1.9.7 for S60v3/v5 Symbian OS 9.x 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
