Envisage 4.8.0

Released: 2019-09-13

The main focus of this feature release is the IPythonKernelPlugin, which
has been updated to work with the latest IPython-related packages from PyPI,
and is now much more careful about releasing resources allocated.

Also in this release, a number of outdated, incomplete or otherwise
nonfunctional pieces of code were removed.

Features

  • Improved repr for ExtensionPoint objects. (#142)

Changes

  • Drop support for Python versions older than 2.7 and Python 3 versions older
    than Python 3.5. (#139)
  • The IPythonKernelPlugin now releases all allocated resources (threads,
    file descriptors, etc.) and undoes global state changes at plugin stop
    time. (#188)
  • Suppress the Ctrl-C message printed by the IPython kernel at start time.
    (#182)
  • Add license headers to all files, and make license header statements
    consistent. (#192)

Fixes

  • Use a fixed pickle protocol when saving task layout state, to avoid
    cross-Python-version difficulties. (#179)
  • Fix deprecation warnings from use of Logger.warn. (#178)
  • Fix some Python 3 syntax errors in example scripts. (#171)

Removals

  • Remove the unsupported and incomplete UpdateCheckerPlugin. (#199)
  • Remove the plugin.debug empty submodule. (#195)
  • Remove the old IPythonShell plugin, which was based on pre-IPython 1.0.
    (#173)
  • Remove the non-functional RefreshCodePlugin. (#202)
  • Remove project_runnable, which was never functional. (#169)
  • Remove outdated debugging fallback from the ExtensionPoint source. (#167)
  • Remove FBIPlugin. (#166)
  • Remove the remote_editor plugins. (#137)

Documentation

  • Add docstrings for tasks plugin extension points. (#181)
  • Fix incorrect documentation for always_use_default_layout. (#177)
  • Spell "Pyface" correctly. (#176)
  • NumPyDoc style fixes. (#168)
  • Add API documentation, with corresponding build infrastructure. (#165)
  • Fix invalid syntax in Tetris example. (#158)
  • Use the Enthought Sphinx Theme for documentation. (#157)

Tests

  • Remove dependency on the nose package, and rename test modules. All
    tests can now be discovered and run using unittest. (#200, #194)

Build

  • Revise version-handling mechanisms and other minor details
    in setup.py script. (#197, #190)
  • Remove unused and outdated tox.ini file. (#201)
  • Update etstool.py to work with a non-EDM bootstrap environment on
    Windows. (#203)
  • Test against other ETS packages from source, using Travis CI cron jobs.
    (#162)
  • Fix deprecated pieces in Travis CI configuration. (#160, #159)
  • Update EDM version used, and clean up and simplify Travis CI and
    Appveyor configurations. (#152)
  • Usability improvements to etstool.py. (#145, #148)
