ANNOUNCE: PyGI 0.5.1

[Zachary Goldberg <zgoldberg src gnome org>]

Hello,

About 3 weeks have passed since the initial release of PyGI.  Since
then we have seen a significant bump in activity in #pygi and also
several new contributors.  A big thanks to John (J5) Palmieri for his
continued efforts to test PyGI with his applications and drive
development forward, as well as Tomeu Vizoso for his hard work and
John Dahlin for his continued support and patch reviews.

Major pieces of this release include the refactoring of the invoke
method (which needed it badly) as well as new overrides, a bunch of
callback support fixes and union support.  Shortlog is attached below
for more.  Python 3 support is still in the works and should land
soon.

PyGi 0.5.1 : http://ftp.gnome.org/Public/gnome/sources/pygi/0.5/pygi-0.5.1.tar.gz

You can find the PyGi website/wiki:

And the public git repo at:

Bug tracking is done in project pygi on bugzilla.gnome.org.

Cheers,
-Zach
