pyte Changelog

Here you can see the full list of changes between each pyte release.

Version 0.4.4

Bugfix release, released on July 17th

• Removed pdb calls, left from HistoryScreen debugging – silly, I know :)

Version 0.4.3

Bugfix release, released on July 12th

• Fixed encoding issues in DebugStream – Unicode was not converted to bytes properly.
• Fixed G0-1 charset handling and added VAX42 charset for the ancient stuff to work correctly.

Version 0.4.2

Bugfix release, released on June 27th

• Added a tiny debugging helper: python -m pyte your escape codes
• Added Screen.__{before,after}__() hooks to Screen – now subclasses can extend more than one command easily.
• Fixed HistoryScreen – now not as buggy as it used to be: and allows for custom ratio aspect when browsing history, see HistoryScreen documentation for details.
• Fixed DECTCEM private mode handling – when the mode is reset Screen.cursor.hidden is True otherwise it’s False.

Version 0.4.1

Bugfix release, released on June 21st 2011

• Minor examples and documentation update before the first public release.

Version 0.4.0

Released on June 21st 2011

• Improved cursor movement – Screen passes all but one tests in vttest.
• Changed the way Stream interacts with Screen – event handlers are now implicitly looked up in screen’s __dict__, not connected manually.
• Changed cursor API – cursor position and attributes are encapsulated in a separate Cursor class.
• Added support for DECSCNM – toggle screen-wide reverse-video mode.
• Added a couple of useful Screen subclasses: HistoryScreen which allows screen pagination and DiffScreen which tracks the changed lines.

Version 0.3.9

Released on May 31st 2011

• Added initial support for G0-1 charsets (mappings taken from tty kernel driver) and SI, SO escape sequences.
• Changed ByteStream to support fallback encodings – it nows takes a list of (encoding, errors) pairs and traverses it left to right on feed().
• Switched to unicode_literals – one step closer to Python3.

Version 0.3.8

Released on May 23rd 2011

• Major rewrite of Screen internals – highlights: inherits from list; each character is represented by namedtuple which also holds SGR data.
• Numerous bugfixes, especialy in methods, dealing with manipulating character attributes.

Version 0.3.7

First release after the adoption – skipped a few version to reflect that. Released on May 16th 2011

• Added support for ANSI color codes, as listed in man console_codes. Not implemnted yet: setting alternate font, setting and resetting mappings, blinking text.
• Added a couple of trivial usage examples in the examples/ dir.
