Changelog

[2.3.0] - 2023-02-08

! Python version support breaking change !

From this version, only python 3.7 and up is supported !

Added

issue #94 - New ui options dialog_size, dialog_min_size and dialog_max_size to respectively set the default, minimum and maximum sizes (in pixels) of an action dialog window. If dialog_size is not provided, the window is resized according to its content and the size limits when provided.

issue #104 - The type of the manager of all instances of an Object subclass can be redefined with the class attribute _MANAGER_TYPE. The class attribute _PROPAGATE_MANAGER_TYPE can also be used to control the propagation of the manager type in the sub-tree objects: a boolean value indicates if the manager type of the object must be propagated, while a None value is equivalent to using the value set in the parent class. Eventually, any relation of an object can now be retrieved through the manager's get_relation method.

Changed

issue #112 - Versioneer is now used for versioning control system. You can access kabaret version using : import kabaret; print(kabaret.__version__). Versioneer will be more usefull for releases.

[2.2.0] - 2023-02-01

! Python version support !

2.2 is the last version of Kabaret supporting Python 2. Incoming versions starting from 2.3 will exclusively support Python 3.

! Breaking changes !

The return value of the session.cmds.Flow.ls() command has changed to also include the related oid. This is needed by the introduction of the new Relative relation with which you can no longer assume that a related object's id is <relation_owner_id>/<related_name>.

If you were using ls in automation scripts, you will need to update its returned value unpacking.

Previous return value: (relation_name, relation_type, is_action, is_map, ui_config), mapped_names

New return value: (related_oid, relation_name, relation_type, is_action, is_map, ui_config), mapped_names

Added

issue #88 - Mapped items "background_color" does show in GUI.

issue #99 & #100 - New plugin system to allow code-less intallation of third party extensions. See new "Plugin" section of the documentation: https://kabaret.readthedocs.io/en/stable/plugin_system.html

PePy download badge in README

issue #79 - New Flow command session.cmds.Flow.set_home_oid(my_oid) to configure the "Home" action.

issue #83 - New ui option navigation_bar. If set to False, the flow page will hide the navigation bar. See example usages in showcase dev_studio.flow.unittest_project.showcase.ui_config. Also added an entry in the FlowView "Options" menu to toggle the navigation bar visible/hidden.

issue #78 - View titles can be formated by using a view_id like <formater>|<view_id> where formater is used like formater.format(some_title). This particularly interesting to control the title of views created by using goto_target in the return value of a flow.Action.run().

issue #71 - Action menus for Relation and Map items can contain sub-menus based on the Action group. Use relation.ui(action_submenus=True) and/or relation.ui(items_action_submenus=True).

issue #60 - Any session created is accessible with kabaret.app.get_session(my_session_uid). You can get the last created one with kabaret.app.get_session().

issue #73 - choice editor support arbitrary icon for each choice using the choice_icons option.

issue #11 - textarea editor now correctly shows when edited and is correctly auto-applied in action dialogs. A 'Cancel' button was added to revert to the last loaded value. The 'Apply' and 'Cancel' buttons are now hidden until an edit is made. A new option buttons_side was added to specify the buttons side.

issue #31 - Added the ability to access other projects in the flow with self.root().project('OtherProjectName')

issue #74 - Added injectable() method on Child relations (and sub relations) which let developer inject their Object types inside someone else flow using the kabaret.flow.injection module. See the documentation at https://kabaret.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tutorials/injection.html for details.

issue #70 - Customizable double click behaviour on Map items. See usage and example in dev_studio.flow.unittest_project.showcase.maps.map_actions, and here: https://gitlab.com/kabaretstudio/kabaret/-/issues/70#note_409303471

issue #66 - Added a new relation Relative which gives access to any Object in the flow given an oid relative to its parent. See usage and code example in dev_studio.flow.unittest_project.showcase.relations.

issue #68 - Added kabaret.flow.Connection.allow_cross_project() to allow Connection / Ref to an object inside another project.

It is now possible to provide an arbitrary widget to display/edit an Object in the Flow view.

This can be specified at the relation's level with Relation(...).ui(custom_page='my_module.MyWidget'). Or at the Object level by overridding Object._fill_ui(ui).

See dev_studio.flow.unittest_project.UnittestProject "Custom Page" for details and example.
