Hey everyone,
* There now exists a "pygobject" [0] github organization containing repos
related to everything Python + GObject related. My hope here is to make them
look a bit more "official", give an overview of all the work happening, and
to reduce the bus factor.
* The organization also contains a fork of pycairo which current pygobject
master depends on. This means distros shipping GNOME 3.26 will likely be
forced to upgrade to it (msys2 already does). If you had any problems with
pycairo before please file a bug report, but there is a good chance that the
last release [1] already contains a fix. There is ongoing work to adjust
www.cairographics.org and pypi to reflect the upstream change and make this
a bit more official.
* The PyGObject test suite now runs on Windows and macOS. Especially on
Windows, using msys2, development is as simple as under Linux: clone, make,
hack, make check, done. For 64bit Windows some changes from glib master are
still required.
* The PyGObject test suite now runs with GTK+4: "make check
TEST_GTK_VERSION=4.0". This should guarantee that at least the basics work
and I encourage everyone brave enough to try GTK+4 to report any bugs you
find.
* The PyGObject wiki.gnome.org page [2] is now gone and things have been moved
to https://pygobject.readthedocs.io. I encourage everyone to contribute, be
it through issues pointing out missing information or by improving the page.
The page is also part of the afore-mentioned github orga.
