Announcing wxPython 4.0.0a1
Announcing wxPython 4.0.0a2
---------------------------
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/wxPython/4.0.0a1
I'm pleased to announce that wxPython's Project Phoenix has made it's public
debut as wxPython 4.0.0a1, available from PyPI. Don't let the fact that it is
marked as an "alpha" release scare you away. It is an alpha simply because
this is the **first** in several ways:
* It's the first real release of Phoenix, which is built on a different
foundation than Classic wxPython was.
* It's the first wxPython release intended to be fully available from PyPI and
buildable/installable by pip on all of the supported platforms.
* It's the first release for Python3 (binaries for 3.5 and 3.6 are provided,
and building for 3.4 is still possible as well). In addition, Python 2.7
is also supported from the same codebase, with binaries available.
* The wheel files are fully self-contained and relocatable on the supported
platforms, so they are installable in virtual environments without needing
to be able to find specific versions of the wxWidgets shared libraries
(or others) at fixed locations elsewhere in the file-system.
* And as with most alphas, there are still a few things that are not
finished or polished yet.
But even with all that, many people have been using the pre-release snapshots
of Phoenix for quite a while now, and it has been relatively stable and solid
for them.
