Version 3.1

Version 3.1.1

🛠️ Bug fixes:

  • ‘Apply’ button state is now correctly updated when modifying one of the following items:

    • dataset.MultipleChoiceItem

    • dataset.dataitems.DictItem

    • dataset.dataitems.FloatArrayItem

  • Fixed minor deprecation and other issues related to locale

💥 Changes:

  • Removed --unattended command line option for pytest:

    • Before: pytest --unattended guidata (to run tests without Qt event loop)

    • Now: pytest guidata (there is no use case for running tests with Qt event loop, so the --unattended option was removed and the unattended mode is now the default)

  • Removed CHM documentation (obsolete format)

Version 3.1.0

⚠ Exceptionally, this release contains the following API breaking changes:

  • Moved utils.update_dataset to dataset.conv.update_dataset

  • Moved utils.restore_dataset to dataset.conv.restore_dataset

✔ API simplification (backward compatible):

  • Dataset items may now be imported from guidata.dataset instead of guidata.dataset.dataitems

  • Dataset types may now be imported from guidata.dataset instead of guidata.dataset.datatypes

  • Examples:

    • from guidata.dataset.dataitems import FloatItem becomes from guidata.dataset import FloatItem

    • from guidata.dataset.datatypes import DataSet becomes from guidata.dataset import DataSet

    • Or you may now write:

      import guidata.dataset as gds

class MyParameters(gds.DataSet):
    """My parameters"""
    freq = gds.FloatItem("Frequency", default=1.0, min=0.0, nonzero=True)
    amp = gds.FloatItem("Amplitude", default=1.0, min=0.0)

💥 New features:

  • New dataset.create_dataset_from_dict: create a dataset from a dictionary, using keys and values to create the dataset items

  • New dataset.create_dataset_from_func: create a dataset from a function signature, using type annotations and default values to create the dataset items

  • dataset.dataitems.StringItem:

    • Added argument password to hide text (useful for passwords)

    • Added argument regexp to validate text using a regular expression

  • dataset.dataitems.FileSaveItem, dataset.dataitems.FileOpenItem, dataset.dataitems.FilesOpenItem and dataset.dataitems.DirectoryItem: added argument regexp to validate file/dir name using a regular expression

  • dataset.dataitems.DictItem: added support for HDF5 and JSON serialization

  • dataset.io.h5fmt and dataset.io.jsonfmt: added support for lists and dictionnaries serialization

♻ New PlotPyStack internal features:

  • widgets.about: handle about dialog box informations (Python, Qt, Qt bindings, …)

  • Renamed development environment variable GUIDATA_PYTHONEXE to PPSTACK_PYTHONEXE

🧹 Bug fixes:

  • Fixed Qt6 compatibility issue with QFontDatabase
