* Version 0.14 1 Oct 2007 (trialed as 0.14rc1 on 10 Jun 2007)
A couple of new extensions, a Python 2.5 fix and a couple of aliases
(Display.get_atom() now uses the internal cache and added
Window.raise_window()). Tabs converted to spaces (SF id: 1559082).
** RECORD extension (SF id: 1538663)
Alex Badea contributed a RECORD extension module, allowing Python Xlib
programs to capture mouse and keyboard events (or all other core or
extension events) easily. A demo is in the examples directory. See
http://refspecs.freestandards.org/X11/recordlib.pdf for more information.
** XINERAMA extension
Mike Meyer contributed a Xinerama extension module, allowing Python Xlib
programs to interrogate the X server about positions and sizes of
multiple screens. Specifications are a bit tricky to find -
http://sourceforge.net/projects/xinerama/ has some older specs and the
source code of the xorg project (libs & server code) has "definitive"
information.
** Python 2.5 fix (SF id: 1623900)
Bugfix to correct handling of XAuthority file parsing under Python 2.5
causing failed authentication.
* Version 0.13 6 Aug 2006 (trialed as 0.13pre1 on 22 Jul 2006)
A small release to incorporate a number of minor corrections and bug
fixes, including small changes to keysym handling, .Xauthority parsing,
several fixes to sending/receiving/flushing data, addition of
WithdrawnState to WMHints. petli completed documentation for Display
objects.
slightly modified by me.
The Python X Library is intended to be a fully functional X client
library for Python programs. It is written entirely in Python, in
contrast to earlier X libraries for Python (the ancient X extension
and the newer plxlib) which were interfaces to the C Xlib.
