Hi all,
I'm currently working my way through a list of remaining TODOs with a
view to kicking py-appscript 0.19.0 out the door within the next
fortnight. I've just committed a bunch of changes to svn; there's
still a few items on the TODO list, but I may just (indefinitely?)
postpone some or all of those as not being sufficiently important to
bother with.
Barring any last minute crises of confidence, I'm planning to make
this the beta release, which means the API will be frozen and there
shouldn't be any more changes barring bug fixes.
Appscript is coming up on its fifth birthday now, and I would really
like to have a 1.0.0 release out before the end of this year. For one
thing, Python 3.0's release is imminent, so I need to fork the
codebase soon so I can begin work on supporting that. For another, I
have several other projects, embarrassingly overdue commitments, etc.
also demanding attention, so the sooner this beast is nailed the
sooner I can get on with those. Finally, as a full-time professional
AppleScript/Python/Cocoa developer myself now, and currently working
on a rather large and really cool Illustrator-based automation
project, I would really like to get on with just _using_ the damn
thing for a change. ;)
So... if anyone wants to look it over to see if it all looks kosher
(modules, examples, documentation, etc.), send us any last bug
reports, application compatibility problems, feature requests, etc.
then this is the time to do it[1]. To check it out from appscript's
Subversion repository [2]:
svn checkout http://appscript.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/appscript/py-appscript/trunk
py-appscript-0.19.0-prerelease
Many thanks,
has
[1] IOW, if you have any interest in appscript, please go right now
and beat on it like a piñata, because this is pretty much your last
chance.
[2] Or, if anyone needs a prebuilt copy, email me and I'll see what I
can do.
