Dear all, pythonOCC-0.5 is available for download at http://www.pythonocc.org. The .tar.gz source archive was uploaded a couple of days ago, just the time for me to package binary files for Windows before making this announcement. Here is a shortlist of changes coming with this release (376 svn commits from 0.4 to 0.5):
CHANGES FROM 0.4 to 0.5: - Wrappers for C++ static methods have been implemented in a SWIG compliant way. Static methods like: BRep_Tool::Surface() is now callable with either BRep_Tool().Surface() or BRep_Tool_Surface() - Improved project quality : 64 unittests currently pass - Many improvements related to the graphic side (better qtDisplay.py, abstraction of the CSF_GraphicShr env var) - Multi selection of entities (vertices, edges, faces, shapes) - Many fixes and improvements to the 'addons' or Level2 API (meshing, PAF, new experimental DYN package, topology etc.) - New samples (Traits based parametric modeling, display customization etc.) - License move from the GNU General Public License v3 (GPLv3) to the GNU Lesser General Public License v3 (LGPLv3) This release was successfully built/unittested under MacOSX-py26/Ubuntu10.04-py26/WinXP-py25/Win7-py26. The Windows packages for py25/py26 are built with Inno Setup : files are installed to /site-packages and examples to /Program Files/pythonOCC/0.5/examples. Shortcuts to these examples are inserted to the Windows 'Start->Programs' menu. Windows users should report any issue with these packages. IMPORTANT NOTE: - mixed CamelCase and lower_case methods naming, from the Level2 API, were merge to a consistent pythonic lower_case. A few methods should be affected, for instance the ReadFile or GetShapes methods of the STEPImport class (moved to read_file and get_shapes). From now, this consistent convention will be used : lower_case naming for python extension to the wrapper, CamelCase for the OCC methods (the way it used to be). - the wrapping of static methods as python functions lead to a conflict between the class TopoDS_Face() and the method TopoDS_Face() coming from the C++ TopoDS::Face(). As a result, to avoid this conflict, the static methods TopoDS::Vertex(), TopoDS::Face(), TopoDS::Shell() etc. were renamed to vertex(), face() and shell() etc. You can call them either with TopoDS().edge() or TopoDS_edge() (you don't have to instanciate any TopoDS() object anymore to access these methods). However, these changes are abstracted by the Utils.Topology set of classes/functions. These are the only changes to the API. Please report any broken link or issue related to this release.
