Python is an interpreted, interactive, object-oriented
programming language that combines remarkable power with
very clear syntax. For an introduction to programming in
Python you are referred to the Python Tutorial. The
Python Library Reference documents built-in and standard
types, constants, functions and modules. Finally, the
Python Reference Manual describes the syntax and semantics
of the core language in (perhaps too) much detail.
Python's basic power can be extended with your own modules
written in C or C++. On most systems such modules may be
dynamically loaded. Python is also adaptable as an exten-
sion language for existing applications. See the internal
documentation for hints.
This package provides Python version 3.2.x.
With the upgrade to version 1.4.12 or 1.4.13, scim began failing on
DragonFly when PKG_DEVELOPER=yes option was used due to the missing
locale files outlined in the plist. All the USE_TOOLS callouts and
buildlinks were correct. The problem was traced back to the configure
tests for gettext. They were producing casting errors and number of
argument errors.
The workaround is to cache the result of the gettext/libintl test
as successful in the package makefile. Doing so results in successful
build, confirming the conftest has a problem at least on some platforms.
0.9.9
- Overall changes:
* Added noVNC HTML5 VNC viewer (http://kanaka.github.com/noVNC/) connect possibility
to our http server. Pure JavaScript, no Java plugin required anymore! (But a
recent browser...)
* Added a GTK+ VNC viewer example.
- LibVNCServer/LibVNCClient:
* Added support to build for Google Android.
* Complete IPv6 support in both LibVNCServer and LibVNCClient.
- LibVNCServer:
* Split two event-loop related functions out of the rfbProcessEvents() mechanism.
This is required to be able to do proper event loop integration with Qt. Idea was
taken from Vino's libvncserver fork.
* Added TightPNG (http://wiki.qemu.org/VNC_Tight_PNG) encoding support. Like the
original Tight encoding, this still uses JPEG, but ZLIB encoded rects are encoded
with PNG here.
* Added suport for serving VNC sessions through WebSockets
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebSocket), a web technology providing for multiplexing
bi-directional, full-duplex communications channels over a single TCP connection.
* Support connections from the Mac OS X built-in VNC client to LibVNCServer
instances running with no password.
* Replaced the Tight encoder with a TurboVNC one which is tremendously faster in most
cases, especially with high-color video or 3D workloads.
(http://www.virtualgl.org/pmwiki/uploads/About/tighttoturbo.pdf)
- LibVNCClient:
* Added support to only listen for reverse connections on a specific IP address.
* Support for using OpenSSL instead of GnuTLS. This could come in handy on embedded
devices where only this TLS implementation is available.
* Added support to connect to UltraVNC Single Click servers.

Release 0.8.50 - May 04, 2012
=============================
New Features
Tweak Book: Allow tweaking of KF8 MOBI files. Useful to fine-tune the result
of a conversion. Right click on the book and select Tweak Book to use the
feature. Note that tweaking a MOBI file that contains both KF8 and older MOBI6
will cause the MOBI6 version to be discarded.
AZW3 output plugin. This output plugin generates pure KF8 mobi files. These
only work on the Kindle Fire and Kindle Touch with latest firmware.
Conversion: Allow easy re-ordering of the search and replace expressions in
the conversion dialog. Also apply the expressions in the same order that they
were entered when doing the conversion.

Release 0.8.49 - Apr 27, 2012
=============================
New Features
Experimental support for generating Amazon's new KF8 format MOBI files
calibre can now generate Amazon's new KF8 format MOBI files. To turn
on this feature, go to Preferences->Tweaks and click Plugin Tweaks. In
the box add: test_mobi_output_type = 'both' calibre will now produce MOBI
files that have both the old MOBI format and the new KF8 format in them.
To learn more about KF8, see: http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html?docId=1000729511
Note that calibre support for KF8 is still experimental and there will
likely be bugs.
Upgrade to using cssutils 0.9.9 for CSS parsing. Improved speed
and robustness.
