PyKake 0.7 and pr 1.3

Yeah, new version of pyKake was released yesterday and Nokias Pr 1.3 was released today (I finded it out after I reflashed to 1.2). Guess what? They don't match to each others :P Yeah that's right, you can test it by yourself (from extras-devel). That nasty post-remove bug I told last evening is fixed, but now I had to find out how to fix the current problem. I think it's because PyQt4 is made for Qt4.6 and with Pr 1.3 brings Qt4.7, so hopefully all what is need to do is just change PyQt4 to PySide (Nokias own version of PyQt4) and that's it - hopefully.

Nothing more at this time :)

PyKake version 0.7 is out!

Finally it is  here, it toke me more time than I assumed, but now it is ready! The hart of new version is the new and better Qt based UI (and most of the functionality is also rewritten with Qt too). The new GUI is a final for version 1.0, so it will stay pretty much same as it is now in the future releases. And as I already write, the most of the functionality is also rewritten with help of Qt (and that was one of the main reasons for the delay).

In version 0.7 is more code that there was previously, but less dependencies which can get broken in third party updates (so possibility for dependency error is smaller than it was previously). But in other hand, this also means so called "fresh install", even if you update, the app will act as in first start (reason is changes in configure system), so in updates or re-installs, you will lose your settings and the app will act like it is the first run (but reboot is not needed, hopefully).

Short update

Hello for you, I'm really sorry I can't announce that pyKake 0.7 is ready. My life has been pretty hectic in last few weeks and I have used almost all my free-time to get some rest. But the change is coming and after next weekend I hope that I have enough time (and power) to finish version 0.7 (before it becomes new pr 1.2 or Duke Nukem Forever). So, if everything goes as I have planned, there will be new version to test at the end of next week - or at least in the beginning of next after it. At least I hope that it will take little less time to get version 0.7 than was needed with DNF (I can't believe that it's really coming!).

Then about pyKake, I have decide that these are the last moments for you to affect what there will be in pyKake 1.0. So if you have some features in your mind and you can't find it from the following list , please post it as a comment, because the version 0.8 will be the last version (before version 1.x) with new functions (addons). After it, I will aim to 1.0, and that will only include code polishing, fixing and minor changes (if needed), but nothing major. So basically versions 0.8.x-0.9.x will be short time RCs, in the Extras-Devel, mainly for myself (and fast testers).
