Does this mean Canvas is no longer powered by KL ?

Does any of this affect performance ?

So this is to do with UI building, making it more accessible.

I suppose it is a little odd to offer an alternative to c++ coding, and
then still have c++ for building interfaces :P

The Python bindings of the UI widgets is a first step and is going to be
worked on more going forward but this means that users can now build their
own stand alone applications using Python instead of C++ to use the
provided widgets but also their own. Users can also use the canvas.py and
CanvasWindow.py files as a template to build their own application
completely from the ground up using those files as a template on how to
create a Fabric client and interact with it. Referencing the FabricUI repo
on github for those wrapped widgets helps and if you're familiar with
PySide / PyQt you'll understand them pretty easily. :)

Have a look at the Alembic Viewer as I included a few custom widgets (done
completely in Python) that interact with the graph that runs the
application to see how easy it is!

Basically the UI is being made in Python and some new functionality to
control the creation of Canvas with Python scripts (think Softimage's
scripting to create ICE graphs)

But it is more nuanced than that... Fabric's core has had python bindings
for a while now. The UI widgets for the Canvas application was made in C++
using Qt Framework but those widgets are now exposed so you can use them in
your own Python Qt app. Those individual widgets haven't been entirely
rewritten in Python.

It means the standalone application is now using pyqt instead of qt c++

A Fabric point release - 2.2 is here! Python bindings have been introduced
and TDs no longer need to go through build environment woes. :) Tons of bug
fixes as well so checkout the release notes here for a list of many of them:
http://docs.fabric-engine.com/FabricEngine/2.2.0/HTML/ReleaseNotes/2.2.0.html

We're also shipping v1.0 of the MODO integration and have moved to the next
phase of the Max integration.
