v3.12.0

Version 3.12.0

💥 New features:

• New operator property FuncPropMulti for handling multiple properties:

  • This property allows you to apply a function to multiple item properties at once.
  • It can be used to create more complex dependencies between items in a dataset.
  • See the guidata.tests.dataset.test_activable_items module for an example of usage.

• New script gbuild for building the package:

  • This script is a wrapper around the guidata.utils.securebuild module, which ensures that the build process is secure and reproducible.
  • It checks that the pyproject.toml file is present in the root of the repository, and that it is committed to Git.
  • It also ensures that the build process is reproducible by using a temporary directory for the build artifacts.

• New qt_wait_until function (guidata.qthelpers) for waiting until a condition is met:

  • This function allows you to wait for a specific condition to be true, while still processing Qt events.
  • It can be useful in situations where you need to wait for a background task to complete or for a specific UI state to be reached.

• Renamed scripts associated to guidata.utils.translations and guidata.utils.genreqs modules:

  • guidata-translations is now gtrans
  • guidata-genreqs is now greqs

🛠️ Bug fixes:

• Issue #90 - BoolItem: Fix checkbox state management in qtitemwidgets
  • Before this fix, the checkbox state was not correctly managed when the item's active state changed.
  • In other words, when using set_prop("display", active= on BoolItem, the checkbox was not updated.
  • The checkbox state is now correctly managed based on the item's active state.
  • This fixes a regression introduced in version 3.3.0 with the new dataset read-only mode feature.
• Requirements generation scripts (greqs or python -m guidata.utils.genreqs):
  • Before this fix, strict superior version requirements (e.g. pyqt5 > 5.15) were skipped in the generated requirements files (with a warning message).
  • Now, these strict superior version requirements are included but the version is not specified (e.g. pyqt5 instead of pyqt5 > 5.15).
  • A warning message is still displayed to inform the user that the version is not specified.
• Issue with automated test suite using exec_dialog:
  • The exec_dialog function was not properly handling the dialog closure in automated tests.
  • This could lead to unexpected behavior and side effects between tests.
  • The fix ensures that all pending Qt events are processed before scheduling the dialog closure.
  • This avoids the necessity to use timeouts in tests, which can lead to flaky tests.

ℹ️ Other changes:

• Updated dependencies following the latest security advisories (NumPy >= 1.22)
• Added pre-commit hook to run ruff (both ruff check and ruff format) on commit
• Added missing build optional dependency to development dependencies in pyproject.toml
• Visual Studio Code tasks:
  • Major overhaul (cleanup and simplification)
  • Removal of no longer used batch files

v3.11.0

Version 3.11.0

💥 New features:

• New utils.genreqs module for generating installation requirements files:
  • Function generate_requirements_txt generates a requirements.txt file
  • Function generate_requirements_rst generates a requirements.rst file
  • The module is used by the new command line script guidata-genreqs

v3.10.0

Version 3.10.0

💥 New features:

• Issue #81 - Modernize the internationalization utilities
  • The guidata.utils.gettext_helpers module, based on the gettext module, has been deprecated.
  • It has been replaced by a new module guidata.utils.translations, which provides a more modern and flexible way to handle translations, thanks to the babel library.
  • This change introduces a new script for managing translations, which may be used as follows:
    • Scan for new translations:
      • python -m guidata.utils.translations scan --name <name> --directory <directory>
      • or guidata-translations scan --name <name> --directory <directory>
    • Compile translations:
      • python -m guidata.utils.translations compile --name <name> --directory <directory>
      • or guidata-translations compile --name <name> --directory <directory>
    • More options are available, see the help message of the script:
      • python -m guidata.utils.translations --help
      • or guidata-translations --help

🛠️ Bug fixes:

• Issue #88 - DictItem default value persists across dataset instances (missing deepcopy)
  • This issue is as old as the DictItem class itself.
  • When using a DictItem in a dataset, if a value is set to the item instance, this value was incorrectly used as the default for the next instance of the same dataset class.
  • This happened because a deepcopy was not made when setting the defaults of the class items in guidata.dataset.datatypes.
  • The fix ensures that each dataset instance has its own independent default value for DictItem, preventing side effects from one instance to another.

v3.9.0

💥 New features:

• Issue #87 - Array editor: add an option to paste data (Ctrl+V)
• Issue #85 - Array editor: add a button to export data as CSV
• Issue #86 - Array editor: add "Copy all" feature for copying array and headers to clipboard

v3.8.0

ℹ️ Changes:

• utils.gettext_helpers:
  • do_rescan_files: use --no-location option to avoid including the file location in the translation files
  • msgmerge: use --update option to avoid regenerating the translation files
• Replace flake8 with ruff for linting in GitHub Actions workflow

🛠️ Bug fixes:

• Issue #84 - Side effects of win32_fix_title_bar_background with QGraphicsEffect active
• Issue #82 - Autodoc extension: translation of generic documentation text
  • Initially, the generic documentation text like "Returns a new instance of" was translated using the gettext function.
  • This was a mistake, as this text should be translated only after the documentation has been generated, i.e. by the sphinx-intl tool.
  • In other words, translating those generic texts should be done in the application documentation, not in the library itself.
  • To fix this issue, the generic documentation text is no longer translated using gettext, but is left as is in the source code.
• Issue #80 - ValueError when trying to show/edit an empty array

v3.7.1

🛠️ Bug fixes:

• Light/dark theme support:
  • Auto light/dark theme: quering OS setting only once, or each time the set_color_mode('auto') function is called
  • Fix console widget color theme: existing text in console widget was not updated when changing color theme
  • Fixed issue with dark theme on Windows: the windows title bar background was not updated when the theme was changed from dark to light (the inverse was working) - this is now fixed in guidata.qthelpers.win32_fix_title_bar_background function
  • Added guidata.qthelpers.set_color_mode function to set the color mode ('dark', 'light' or 'auto' for system default)
  • Added guidata.qthelpers.get_color_mode function to get the current color mode ('dark', 'light' or 'auto' for system default)
  • Added guidata.qthelpers.get_color_theme function to get the current color theme ('dark' or 'light')
